Outfit:

Free People shirt (Plato’s Closet, Williston VT), $5.00, infinity scarf (Richmond Thrift Shop, Richmond VT), free, BDG jeans (Urban Outfitters, Burlington), $15.00, Dolce Vita boots (gifted)

When I unwrapped my Hannukah present from my sister this year and saw these killer shoes, my heart skipped a beat!  The buckles, the suede, the western detail on the tip…they are perfect!  Thank you, Juice!!  They are the perfect compliment to any outfit and I am excited to have them be my go-to, while being able to dress them up with a classy outfit!

The infinity scarf was yet another FREE find at Richmond Thrift!  Can’t beat that!  It goes with everything and since I have a lot of patterned clothing, it’s a great basic to not overdo it!

Occasion: City Market

City Market is the local food co-op and it is one of my favorite places in Burlington!  I especially love the section of local baked goods (everything from My Little Cupcake to Comfort cookies), the diverse salad bar (my usual), the comforting hot meals (love me some baked mac and cheese), their selections of dried fruit and granola, and their amazing sandwiches!!  Pictured is the Blue Plate sandwich with house-made meatloaf, Shelburne Farms cheddar, red onions and roasted garlic mayo on Red Hen Cyrus Pringle bread.  It is a special treat and this half-sandwich was only $4.99!  Insider tip: you can get a sandwich on a big bagel for $4.99 as well!

I love to get a bite to eat and sit in the little cafe area, reading my kindle and people watching!  Everyone comes through City Market, so I am bound to see someone I know!  While prices often earn this store the name City “Mark-up”, you can find a ton of local and delicious products all in one place!  While I am more of a Trader Joe’s girl, there is something special about this little local gem.
