It’s a week full of sweaters and utter disappointment. I’m being a little dramatic but I’m pretty sad because we officially lost the house we were in the process of buying. It was a lot of back and forth and ultimately, the sellers decided they’d no longer be selling their house to us. It was […]
Perhaps you remember this J Crew merino sweater blazer from my real outfit recap a few weeks ago–it’s still going strong in the rotation (and I’m wearing an XS – it runs a little big). It’s deconstructed, yet tailored, chic but not too serious and just the jacket that I probably didn’t need but am […]
I’ve lived in the midwest nearly my whole life so when you think winter footwear, you think boots. Boots are basically worn consistently for five months straight. Being a boots enthusiast, I know when to save, when to splurge and when your feet will get cold and wet no matter what boots you’re wearing (waist-high […]
Happy Friday! It’s time for another edition of the real outfit recap. It’s been all about the power pants this week. Please note my first outfit. I can’t tell you how great I felt in that outfit–assertive, strong, like a boss lady! My husband was scratching his head a bit but isn’t that the point?! […]

How is it almost November? I’m pretty sure I thought August was the other day. To be fair, it felt like August some days last month–pretty sure it was 85 last Saturday. Then, fall finally hit us and it’s been in the 50s several days. Once it drops below 60, I feel as it it’s […]
I love turtleneck variations of all sorts. Mock, folded, funnel – I love them all. Usually the turtleneck varieties were reserved for knits and sweaters (see a sleeveless version I wore here) but this–this is fun. A funnel neck, oversized, poplin pullover?! Be still my heart. (Also, it’s fun to say. Keep saying it over […]
The above smirk on my face is accurate…because it’s Friday! I don’t know about you, but I could not be happier to see the weekend in arm’s reach. Let’s talk fall transition, shall we? Here in Chicago, the struggle is real. In the mornings, it’s 50 degrees but by the end of the day, it’s […]
