My friend AJ stopped in Chicago on Thursday on his drive home to Nashville and helped me snap these photos in a sketchy parking lot. I spent the day showing him around the city which of course includes a trip to Molly’s Cupcakes and shopping around Bucktown.
Since it was a breezy day, I paired this old American Apparel sweatshirt with the cut offs. As I write this post I’m reminded of Tobias from Arrested Development and his odd psychological affliction known as a “never nude.” Click here if you’re intrigued.

Love your outfit! Especially the shoes…and never nude!!! hahaha…tobias is so funny, and i can totally see how that came to mind here 🙂
HAHA i wore super-short denim cutoffs under a chambray tunic the other day and it kept making my think of tobias!! i was hoping someone would notice and make a reference but nobody did…
what an awesome "off duty" look! I really love your shorts– as I've been on the hunt for some like that lately. And I love the way that your accessories really pop although the colors themselves are somewhat subtle. you rock!!

I love jorts! I live in them in the summer. I make them out of jeans I find at the thrift store so I can have the inseam I want.

Your "never nude" reference totally just made my day! I love Tobias (and Arrested Development- best. show. ever.)! Your outfit is so cute and A.J. definitely has great style as well!
Such cute shorts! I love how those look, but I've always been afraid to try them because they seem so short. They definitely look cute in your outfit thought.
Cute shorts and shoes! I love them.

Love this cute and casual look on you! And I must say that your reference to Arrested Development made me giggle and has conjured up images of Tobias in his cut-offs (haha).

Recently came across your blog and adore it. I too am a fan of blond bedhead…though my hair changes quite a bit. Those shoes and the clutch are fabulous. And I love the pic of the two of you sitting on the street…very cool angle! Can't wait to keep reading!

your hair looks so much lighter in these photos, like more of a strawberry blonde. It looks great! Also loving this slouchy outfit because it shows that you can be comfortable yet stylish with choice pieces. And thanks for bringing up everyone's favorite analrapist! (oh, out of context it seems so awful in print!! haha!)
your hair looks phenomenal strawberry blonde…gorgeous look.
Nice hair! I like the outfit too
