One boy, one day, four hats (and a headband)

This boy occasionally whines about shopping, but the truth is that he loves it. No matter whether it is a hipster boutique tucked in Wicker Park, a "fancy lady store" in Lincoln Square or Walgreen's, he somehow always finds something he loves, something he neeeeeeds, something he absolutely must try on, dance around in, and use as a prop to make me laugh. It works.

On this day, we stopped by some shops near my old high school stomping grounds of the Century Mall. We lingered too long in the Halloween section of Pier One. I said a silent thank you to Urban Outfitters for their waif-targeted women's wool outerwear that made my boy very, very happy. And then we went home to do some evening yoga. Lil E was dressed for the part in each locale.
