(Outfit posts seem super silly after a week like this one, no? But in rough times you’ve got to make good art, and, well, right now this is my art.) I work very close to Millennium Park, and every Monday this summer they had a free concert as part of Downtown Sound. I was able toContinue reading “concert in millennium park and what i wore”

a selfmade dress and what i wore
I have been thinking a long time about sewing a dress or outfit but it took me a long time to pull the trigger. It sounded intimidating–I have sewn a little bit but not really any clothes. Patterns and fabric seemed expensive and difficult to try out if I wasn’t sure it would turn out.Continue reading “a selfmade dress and what i wore”
errands and what i wore
Sometimes you just need to get things done. I am getting ready for another trip and I prioritized function over from with my Mizzou gym shorts and trusty dinosaur sweatshirt from Topshop (thanks polar vortex in July). I’m so excited to be heading back to Michigan, but right now there’s a pretty big to-do list betweenContinue reading “errands and what i wore”
new outfit: getting ready for the fourth
Happy almost Fourth of July! After some crazy storms this week it’s been a little cooler here in Chicago so I’m wearing jeans from the Gap, sandals from Target, a bag from H&M, and a top from Liz Claiborne. There was obviously no podcast this week–we are taking a break for the Fourth. But we’llContinue reading “new outfit: getting ready for the fourth”
easy outfit friday: summer dress
It’s summertime! I know, it felt like it would never come. We have casual Fridays in my new office. It was easy to be casual when the temperatures were crisp–I’d just wear jeans and a nice top. Now that it’s getting hot, I’ve been turning to some bright summer dresses. The light flowiness of thisContinue reading “easy outfit friday: summer dress”
the zoo and what i wore
Over the weekend I had a wonderful time at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The weather was perfect and all the animals were out and doing something adorable and interesting. My casual summer adventure outfit is a cotton dress from H&M; shoes, bag, and sunglasses from Target; and chambray from … shoot I can’t remember. AfterContinue reading “the zoo and what i wore”
titiana’s outfit from the haunted bookshop
Like everyone else who shopped at the haunted bookshop, Titiana charmed me. I wasn’t sure about her in the beginning. The 18-year-old arrives to her bookshop apprenticeship in a fur stole, after all, so can you really blame me–or her father–for making the mistake of thinking her frivolous? But you learn in The Haunted BookshopContinue reading “titiana’s outfit from the haunted bookshop”
new outfit: gloomy monday
It is a gloomy and rainy monday in Chicago, so I countered by wearing some bright flowers and taking a picture where it was warm and dry inside. Skirt from Banana Republic; top, shoes, and bag from Target; flower wrap from this super cute store in my neighborhood called Francesca’s Collection. We did so muchContinue reading “new outfit: gloomy monday”
a cubs game and what i wore
My welcome to Chicago continued with a Cubs game last night. It was so nice out (but yes, a little chilly), and we had so much fun. Wrigley is a quick walk from my apartment, which made a weeknight game really easy to get to and enjoy. The Cubs lost by one to the Pirates,Continue reading “a cubs game and what i wore”
new outfit: thawing out
It is supposedly spring now, but I’m not getting my hopes up. Today is beautiful, sure, but next week there is snow in the forecast. And I am tired, so tired, so so tired, of winter! I’m ready for a break and some sunshine. To take advantage of the weather today, I wore orange wedges,Continue reading “new outfit: thawing out”
