I’ve been on the lookout for a bold cuff or bracelet to add to my (small) jewelry collection. And here are a few beauties that serve as both accessories and artwork for your wrist!

A pair of overalls, a sleeveless shirt, and a pair of loafers are the perfect combination of comfort and easy style. I decided to keep my accessories to a minimum and go with a hobo bag and black cat eye shades. Have a great week!

Still hoping for warmer weather to arrive and stay in Chicago. Until then, I’ll pretend it’s spring and embrace some lighter fabrics and florals.

The transition from Winter to Spring clothing is always the most challenging for me. I want so badly to wear all the lightweight fabrics and fresh colors, but it’s still too cold! This Spring has been especially difficult since the temperatures are still around 30° most days. So, I opted for a lighter jacket and beanie. I found this tee at Zara a while back and decided to keep it simple and stick to a cooler palette. But how fun will this tee look with a pair of jean shorts and slip-on sneakers?! Someday, right?

Layering scarves together is a great way to keep warm and add texture to a look. I like draping two scarves together around my neck and shoulders once or twice, depending on the length or size of the scarves. And it’s an easy way to jazz up a look or add a pop of color. What are some of your favorite ways to wear scarves or tie them?

An all-black look is hands down my favorite. It’s chic, simple, and flattering. I decided to pair a few of my favorite pieces together and add some subtle gold accents. A soft pink lip adds just the right amount of color. Have a great Monday!

I’m still very much into dark colors and knit beanies this winter. Keeping it casual with a heavy knit sweater, dark denim, and boots. A deep maroon lip and black cat eye shades add just the right amount of edge. Have a great Monday!

Jeans, loafers, and a blazer are the perfect pieces for casual chic. I like the oversized fit and cut of this blazer; perfect for adding interest to any look. And the abstract floral print on my loafers is just the right amount of color. Here’s to another warm (45°) day in Chicago!!

A combination of elevated winter basics and different textures are a great way to stay warm and not feel over layered. My favorite type of sweater has always been a soft cable-knit; specifically a heavy woven cotton or acrylic blend. I decided on a dark skinny jean with side zippers at the ankle, a pointy ankle boot, and bold lip to keep my look chic. Have a great Monday and stay warm!
