I spent the weekend in Chicago visiting friends and thankfully, didn’t suffer because of my poor packing skills (which resulted in a lack of winter appropriate clothing and outerwear choices.) I was so proud of myself for condensing my clothes to one small luggage case, but I ended up packing a bunch of dresses I didn’t wear and several pairs of shoes. The shoes took up the majority of the space, but I absolutely hate that feeling when the perfect pair of shoes aren’t with me when I’m styling an outfit. It’s a hard knock life.
It was beautiful weather over the weekend, sunshine and all. But getting to catch up with Emily of Sartoriography is what really brought sunshine into my life. That girl is so fabulous in her amazing vintage finds and sassy personality. My friend Becky and I met with her for lunch at Sweetwater Grille followed by some downtown shopping. And I wore my most comfortable outfit.
[tee from pitaya, jacket by bcbg, leggings c/o we love colors, cardigan borrowed from becky, boots c/o wanted, hat by bdg, sunglasses by rayban, bag by marc by marc jacobs]
I leave you with an image of Becky hugging a heart, a playful, overly excited version of herself. You won’t see this often, so happy Valentine’s Day!

YEOW! Look at those hotties! It was awesome to see you and your rad self. As always, I was impressed by the utter badassery of your style and, of course, your photography skills.
Love the photo of us where I'm making that goofy face. It just about sums up the day, eh?
