AL FRESCO

I don't really have that much to say here except that on this day in Dallas we ate at The Porch and it was amaaaaaaaaaaaZING!  Oh and I also changed up my outfit after lunch.  Don't judge.  I was on vaycay, and I can change my outfit a hundred times in a day if I want to!  Mmmmkhaaay?!  *head swerve pointer finger up*  This strawberry cocktail thingy jingy was obvi so good because it really didn't leave my hand.  This has got to be my favorite way to eat or drink any meal.  Al fresco.  And a kind of a half inside half outside situation like the patio at The Porch.  I'm one of those weirdos that likes to people watch as I eat or sip on a drink.  I actually don't care much about the people I'm sitting with.  LOL.  JK!  Love you guys!  It just feels so good to get some sunshine rays as you throw back one too many cocktails in the middle of the day.  Again, vacation... no judgy.  Gawd, I miss Dallas.

hat trick

Look at me!  I'm floating in the sky!  Okay that was lame.  LoL.  The Hubster and I decided to do a quick shoot up on our roof before stepping out of the house.  We didn't feel like bringing around the camera.  But it was epic fail anyway because 10 minutes in, the battery died.  I am the WORST at keeping things charged.  Oh well.  Sorry for the lack of interesting shots.  This was all we could get before the camera shut down.  I wanted to show you guys my new hat that I got on super sale from Aritzia.  I'm not a huge hat person in any way but sometimes I like to have one handy in case my hair is not cooperating.  I don't see very many people rocking hats in Chicago so I wouldn't say that it's a good way to stay hidden.  I feel like people actually will look at you if you have a hat on that isn't a baseball hat.  This day was super duper warm but overcast around the time we took the photos.  Kept the outfit very monochromatic here but still dramatic with the black and white.  And of course the shoes!  Do you like the shoes?  It was on a previous Wednesday Wishlist.  I couldn't resist when my size became available, so as usual, I grit my teeth and pulled the trigger.  These are awesome because they are super comfortable for as high as they are.  And I love the color.  It's one of those off colors that can go with a lot.  It's not 100% grey, nor 100% taupe.  It's some funky combo.  And I love me funky combos.  The top is by Joie and purchased from City Blue.  <3  Like I mentioned in a previous post, they just launched their new online store.  However, if you live in Chicago, I highly HIGHLY recommend stopping by the store front.  The ladies that work there are oober sweet and fun.  I immediately loved this Joie top because of the fun yet understated stripes.  It's sheer to add some sexy illusion combined with the stripes.  Do you see my skin... do you not see my skin... do you see my skin... do you not see my skin...?  Hmmm... tricky.  I guess you won't know until you get one for yourself.  =)

MILITAIRE

Here is an outfit post for you all to start the week!  Last week was a pretty rough one and I'm glad that it's over.  Here's hoping that this week will be much better!  I love this military style jacket from Zara I got last year.  It's perfect on days that are just a bit chilly but not freezing.  I was also wearing a top I got from CityBlue by Joie but it was too cold to take off the jacket and show you guys.  So I'll definitely show it off another day.  These Miu Miu's are one of my favorites from my shoe collection.  They are a darker nude color which I love because it can go with so many things and they are super tall which makes me feel super tall.  Also, they look uncomfortable but are actually really comfy to walk in.  I am trying to think of something clever to say or something cool to share but I am blanking.  Yikes!  Mah badddd.  Enjoy the photos everyone since I have nothing interesting to say.  Hahahaha...  Do you have any fun stories to share?  I'd love to hear it.  This is going to be a busy week and I've got some tax returns to do.  I hope everyone is getting a refund this year.  #TaxNerd #TotesRandom
