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 Full Peplum

When peplum first came on the scene, people were skeptical. Now, this silhouette is every where and I'm overjoyed (as I indicated in this post). However, I'm a bit bored with only pairing a peplum top with a pencil skirt. Why not a full skirt? Double the flare, double the fun! That's what I always say...

Two Ways To Wear...

...a plaid blazer!

First, we have the edgy way. A jean vest and leather jeans call to mind the Nirvana era while a metallic tee and leopard loafers keep me from looking like Courtney Love.

Second, we have the preppy way. A silk scarf, wide leg trousers, and bow topped pumps topped with a peacoat make it look like I just stepped out of a Ralph Lauren store.
