Outfits

Ok I only have 4 pictures for you because I honestly only got dressed 5 times this week (one of the days I forgot to take a pic, but I wore these denim shorts and this white tank). The other two days I was in my workout clothes/lounge clothes. Some weeks that’s the way it goes!¹

Jumpsuit, cutest bag is coming soon!

The best tee, white denim, sandals, the Everyday Bucket Bag!

White denim, flip flops, tube top, Everyday Bucket Bag

I loved this outfit. Top is old Mara Hoffman, pants, sandals, hair clip, Everyday Bucket Bag

What to wear to a spring shower

My sister’s baby shower is in a few weeks and I started thinking what I have to wear. Mid-May in Chicago can be in the 70s or 40s, which makes planning an outfit a little tricky. I’m not usually like this, but I want to wear something with pink in it (she’s having a girl) and I honestly can’t think of one thing in my Chicago (or Naples) closet that’s pink! So I started looking around and had fun pulling together a few things that I think are cute. I’m still not sure what I’m going to wear…I know I said I want to wear pink, but I’m really liking the look of the green one!

Dress 1, Dress 2, Dress 3, Dress 4, Dress 5, Dress 6, Dress 7, Dress 8, Bag 1, Bag 2, Shoe 1, Shoe 2, Shoe 3, Shoe 4, Shoe 5, Shoe 6

For whatever reason, dresses are always the easiest to style for an event like this. I don’t have to think about a top and bottom - the outfit is taken care of and all that’s left is the shoes and accessories. And since it’s spring, I am currently drawn to pastels, floral and floral prints, which aren’t normally in my daily repertoire. What I love about the dresses I chose is you can wear them to showers, Mother’s Day/ Father’s Day, graduation events - pretty much any event this time of year.

If it’s chilly where you are, add a blazer or drape a sweater over your shoulders (or bring a pashmina).

For footwear, I pulled a mix of flats and heels, open-toed and closed because it totally depends on weather and vibe. I like a lot of these shoes with each of the dresses. And I might be biased, but our Soirée Bag is perfect for a shower or any event. Sometimes it’s the accessories that really pull it all together. :)

Quick side note - when purchasing anything new, I always try to think of other places I can wear a piece so it doesn’t just sit in my closet after an event. It’s helpful when the items in your closet are versatile. If you’re traveling this summer, it could be a good time to hit two birds with one stone, or dress. :)

It’s our last official week in Naples

For my entire adult life I always wondered if I’d like living here full time and now I know for sure that I do. The last 7 months have been nothing short of wonderful. I’ve always said the beach outside my parents’ place in Naples is my favorite place on earth (the Serengeti being a very close second), and that is more true now than ever. In addition to a lifetime of memories, now add to the list getting engaged and married. If you can’t tell, I’m sad this chapter is coming to an end. I feel a bit like I’m inside a Taylor Swift song. :)
