HOT PINK style: Joie

Wednesday, July 16, 2014

What do you do when a friend is in from NYC and wants to go to the beach? Lunch at The Dock on Montrose Beach of course! And what do you do when all your friends look super stylish (especially together) even in the Chicago heat? Feature them my blog of course!

Dr. Jonathan and blogger babe Amy were so much fun to shoot with this fun beach backdrop. I mean could they have played the part any better? Amy may have some practice posing, being that she is a style blogger already, but Jonathan was a natural. Talk about a photogenic fella! I see a menswear blogger in training!

When it comes to shopping, I'm not a digger. I hate to dig through piles of sale items from who knows what brands. The only place I am willing to do that digging is the Bloomingdales Outlet at the Chicago Fashion Outlets because my track record is so good. I scored a pair of Seven jeans for $65 and then I found this hot pink moto jacket that was screaming my name. There was not much digging involved in finding this one actually, it was pretty hard to miss.

And speaking of good deals, let me call to your attention my amazing new Joie sweater that I scored for $49 (down from $198) at Roam Chicago! They provided all the clothes that the girls and I wore on WGN so I just had to go in and check out what they had. And what they had was a SALE! I got some pretty spectacular deals on some labels I would otherwise never be able to afford.
