A warm poncho and boots are a girls best friend this week! C’mon, Chicago! Anyhow, I decided on a casual zip-up poncho, jeans and classic boots for this look. Winter staples I suggest for anyone that lives in the Midwest.

Oversized sweaters and other pieces of heavy knitwear are my plan for this winter. I love this hooded bouclé knit vest I found at Zara the other day. The bouclé yarn adds a lot of texture and feels extra luxurious. Since it’s a warm neutral, I decided to keep it simple and go with an all-black look and tall boots.

It’s officially sweater weather in Chicago… so, this means heavy knits, boots and puffer coats for the next 5 months. I kept it simple with a soft v-neck sweater, jeans and black boots. Perfect for a simple, yet chic look.
dress: H&M // scarf: Zara // bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs //shades: Prada
I found this comfortable jersey dress at H&M a while ago and decided to accessorize it with some print. A large scarf and some calf hair shoes add just the right amount of pattern and texture. Maybe it’s time to add more longer skirts and dresses to my wardrobe?!

An all-grey look to match the weather and time change in Chicago. While I love to wear neutrals and darker colors, the loss of daylight is always such a bummer this time of year. I mean, it’s dark outside before 5:00PM… OK, rant over. I decided on a few shades of grey with a pop of cobalt blue for this look.

A black blazer is a wardrobe staple. It pulls a look together and can easily be dressed up or down. All-black with a pop of snakeskin is effortless and chic, and a bold lip adds just the right amount of color. What are some of your wardrobe must-haves?

The weather in Chicago has been mild and tolerable these past few weeks. It’s supposed to be 70 today! Yay! But we all know it’s going to be legit sweater weather soon. Until then, you can find me outside running around while it’s warm.
shirt: Zara (similar here) // skirt: Hugo Boss // bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim // d’Orsay pumps: Vince
A pencil skirt and black pumps are a wardrobe must-have. Both are ideal for work, interviews, luncheons, etc. I just picked up these d’Orsay pumps from Vince for a special luncheon I attended last week, and I love them! They’re comfortable, classic and the heel length is perfect. Seriously, I think I could walk all over the city in these.

I think this oversized cardigan is quickly turning into my go-to sweater for fall. It’s warm, an ideal neutral color and easy to layer. With the weather turning chilly and extra rainy these past few weeks, my wardrobe has transitioned into heavier knits, booties, and coats. Time to pack away those sandals until next June…

A black sweater was on my fall shopping list this year. I wanted something simple, chic, and versatile. And I just found it! This v-neck wool and cashmere knit is just want I had in mind, and it has a draped silk back with a center pleat.
