Bag: Dagne Dover "Charlie" Tote // Mules (only $23) // Buffalo Check button down // Dress: Zara ( a sale find from last winter) // Watch

I'm hoping this proves I still dress like a professional from time to time, at least mostly at work and when I have the chance to get someone to take photos. The only reason these pictures exist is because my friend Sandy and I met up to plan some of the details of the double baby shower we threw at my house this weekend.

Flannel can be a tricky one to wear in a professional setting. It's got a collar so it makes you feel like it's ok, but the warm cozy softness makes it feel like it shouldn't be worn to work. I made this buffalo check flannel more professional by layering it under this faux-suede dress I scored for $20 last winter knowing it would be a great layering piece. I also intend to wear this shirt with a black pencil skirt and my brown moto jacket over it.

If you haven't jumped on the Mule trend yet, I suggest you buy these as your starter pair. The $23 price tag is too good to beat and they are pretty great dupes for the Gucci mules that cost $680. Click and compare if you don't believe me.


If I'm going to work, you won't find me without my Charlie tote! It goes with me every day and can hold everything I need for the day including a bit of stuff for Athena so it doubles as a diaper bag. This bag would be the ultimate gift for a lady who totes around as much stuff as I do.

One last full week of school till Thanksgiving Break!!! I know I'll be counting down the days.

Dress: Koo.De.Ker (local Boutique but loving this spring version here!) / Army Jacket (old Urban Outfitters but almost Identical here on sale for $49!) / Bag: Zara (similar here) / Heels: Sole Society (similar here with 3 1/2in heel and here with 2 1/2  which is more my speed // Lips

I have been doing my best to explore our new neighborhood and found this cute little shop in the first week I lived here. I needed a dress for a casual event but my clothes were all still in boxes. Luckily this red buffalo plaid dress from Koodeker saved the day.

I paired it with my favorite red pumps and a red vintage half slip to cover up the slip in the bottom. I love vintage slips and have a whole drawer of them that I've collected over the years. They make everything feel so vintage glam!

This may not be a look I could wear to teach in but I could easily swap out the slip for a pair of leggings and the heels for flats and make this dress perfectly teacher appropriate!

Shop the whole look here.


Drake Staycation: Part 2

Friday, December 6, 2013

These photos were taken at the Gazebo right outside the Drake by the Oak Street Beach entrance as we were leaving for the weekend.

It looks all well and good here, but later that day was when we had that crazy tornado scare here in Chicago. I kind of freaked out and hid in our bathroom at home with all my valuables. Luckily we were safe.

Kind of a crazy ending to such a relaxing weekend.

Buffalo Check, Faux Leather & Cheetah

Thursday, November 21, 2013

Finally, I have found a Buffalo check shirt that has the perfect fit, super-cute mini-check interior detail, and didn't cost a bunch. This affordable find is actually from Forever 21, as is the faux-leather pencil skirt. I love getting trendy pieces at Forever 21 because the prices are so very guilt-free, and so very similar to alot of the designer pieces.
