This summer has been extra busy with events and days at the beach! The temps these past few weeks in Chicago have been in the upper 8os with full sunshine – my ideal weather! So, I’ve been wearing dresses and lightweight fabrics on repeat, like this linen dress. Summer, please last forever!

With the temps getting warmer that can only mean sandals, sleeveless tees and shorts are a must! These seersucker shorts from Vince are lightweight and can easily be worn with sandals and a tee or dressed up a bit with some wedges.

For classic pieces, I always shop quality over quantity. Without a doubt I’m going to wear that soft silk top, knit cashmere cardigan and classic leather bag over and over and feel great each time. I love this sleeveless shirt I just picked up at Nordstrom Rack, it’s perfect for these warm spring days and a great piece to layer under a cardigan in the fall.

A bit of sporty with a few polished pieces are ideal for a relaxed, yet put together look. I love combining slip-on sneakers with structured pieces; hence my love of basics. And you can never go wrong with a comfy pair of shoes!

There’s nothing like a comfortable pair of relaxed boyfriend jeans. They’re so easy to dress up or down with the right pieces. Since the weather has been Spring-like in Chicago, I decided to unpack my strappy sandals and sport a casual linen long sleeve with my comfy boyfriend jeans.

A white button down with slate grey pants is a fresh look for spring. To keep it simple, I added some neutral accessories and a soft pink lip.

Even if I do wear sunglasses year round, it’s always nice to add a new pair to your collection. Here are a few that can easily be worn year after year, and with a variety of outfits. I like to think of a pair of sunglasses as I do a great investment bag; quality over quantity.

Keeping it simple and neutral for this warmer weather! I love this lightweight linen long sleeve tee from Vince. It’s casual and goes perfect with a pair of black skinny jeans and slip-on sneakers. Everything just seems so much easier and better when the weather is nice. Ha!

The weather in Chicago has been so warm these past few days! With nicer weather, comes lighter colors and fabrics. Hooray! A crisp white button down with bright blue jeans and loafers are perfect to transition into the warmer weather. Or, until it’s time for sandals!

Bright white with bold pops of black feel fresh and classic. I usually reserve my white denim for spring and summer, but it’s March and it’s almost spring! Maybe I’m just hopeful for warmer weather, but it’s always a great go-to look.
