This has been a VERY COLD February for Chicago. I thought I could skip Winter Dread this year, but it just arrived a little late. To stay warm lounging around the house, I am wearing sweater leggings from American Apparel, and a sweatshirt and scarf from Target. When I have to go outside, I putContinue reading “new outfit: winter lounging”

outfit for the office on a cold day
We are SO CLOSE to the beginning of the end of winter, but unfortunately we’re not there yet. I finally replaced my snow boots with these from Macy’s, and I like them very much, but in cold weather you’ll need an additional liner or extra-warm socks. This outfit helped me stay warm in the office with lotsContinue reading “outfit for the office on a cold day”
a good coat
A good coat in the winter is a powerful outfit saver. It doesn’t matter what’s under it because no one will see it while you’re out running errands! This one is Ann Taylor (I think) via a department store. Boots are Jessica Simpson and purse is from Target. The scarf I made myself. Stay warmContinue reading “a good coat”
new outfit: errands on a chilly day
It’s the day before Thanksgiving! Time to do any last minute errands and traveling before the cooking begins. If you have any running around to do, I hope it goes quickly, safely, and that the weather isn’t too bad. Over the weekend when I was running my own errands I wore my new Michael KorsContinue reading “new outfit: errands on a chilly day”
new outfit: sweater weather
October is my favorite month. I love the crispness of fall weather, the changing leaves, and finally getting to wear scarves again. And, of course, the return of sweater weather. This sweater is one of my favorites, and I’ve paired it here with black and gold accessories. Shoes and bag are from Target, button downContinue reading “new outfit: sweater weather”
concert in millennium park and what i wore
(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”
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”
