Nothing Like The Lion King


If you live in or around Chicago and haven't seen "The Book of Mormon," please, please, please do so. It's incredibly heart warming and not at all anti-religion. Don't believe me? Read this review.

Recreate my look:
Worthington skirt, top via Crossroads (similar here and here and here), Target belt and shoes (similar),
J.Crew tote (similar here and here), Old Navy cuffs (similar), Stella & Dot earrings, OPI Samoan Sand

Insane


A seemingly insane mix of prints outside a previous "insane asylum" before eating an insanely good meal.

Note: I only used the words "insane asylum" to describe a psychiatric hospital to stick with the theme. This term is not appropriate nor encouraged to discuss individuals with mental illnesses or their treatment. Additionally, psychiatric hospitals in this form do not exist anymore for many reasons. Educate yourself.

Soon Enough


I swear that on Monday this outfit was appropriate! It's hard to imagine having an overcoat on (even just over my shoulders) with the sun blazing in Chicago today. This is the kind of day that I wish I could go Oak St beach with a gin & pineapple in one hand, a good book in the other, with my fiancé by my side. Soon enough, Jenny. Soon enough.

A Downtown Date


To galavant around the city and its museums, dark pubs, shops, and fine dining establishments, you need to dress for the possibility of anything, which admittedly, can be hard to accomplish. The foundation of this look is a pair of cuffed jeans, graphic tee, blazer, and comfy yet chic flats; however, the add ons are what make it go from day to night with ease!
1. Scarf | We are in the Windy City after all and the temperature from waiting on the "L" platform to entering American Apparel or even while walking on different streets can change drastically. 
2. A cross body bag with handles | This allows the ability to passionately talk with your hands about Picasso's paintings and sculptures during your day at the Art Institute, while the handles can be utilized later when you are led to the quiet corner table of a seafood restaurant on the river.
3. Statement Jewelry | Once you have your first glass of wine at Elephant & Castle, it's time to roll up the cuff of your blazer and tuck your hair behind your ears to showcase your bracelets and earrings. Also, consider putting on some lipstick!

Fit & Flare


If there was an image next to a definition for "easy, flattering dress," it would be of a fit & flare dress! Think about it...nipped in waist? Check. A-line skirt? Check. Ability to add on tied up blouse, jacket, or cardigan, any size belt, and any size necklace? Check. Take that wrap and shift dresses!

Spring Fever

It might be because I am in North Carolina this week and it's a balmy 65 degrees, but I'm thinking spring! It's time to retire my tights and and recreate any of these warmer weather outfits...who's with me?

Going Global


The Lucky Community started a contest entitled "Show Us Your Lucky" where the members (all fabulous fashion bloggers) interpret looks from this month's Lucky magazine. The story "Wear a Little...Wear a Lot" featured global and lace as two of the trends to try. For the global look, I piled on patterns and textures with brown as the uniting tone. Tomorrow, I'll rock head to toe lace, so come on back!
