The gals behind Painfully Hip made a trip to Chicago recently and I had the pleasure to meet them. They organized a wonderful clothing swap at none other than the WOR loft on Milwaukee.

There were cute girls all around picking though eachothers discards. It worked out well for me. I got away with 5 dresses, a velor sweatshirt and a great purse.

It's amazing how one man's trash really is another man's treasure. Would any of you come if I organized a clothing swap for Chicagoland TMW readers???

I have taken my share of pictures at my friends' space, the WOR Loft, over the last few months. I feel pretty bad shooting style photos at the same place over and over again but I can't help it. It's just that it has been incredibly cold this winter (which has, sadly, hindered the street shots) but also, every time I go, I can't help but find people I think are pretty interesting, it's just that kind of place. I hope you understand...
