Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Happy Monday everyone! So we finally had our first legit snowfall here in Chicago and with it came the cold cold cold temperatures. Remember just how earlier last week it was in the fifties? Gotta love that Chi-town weather change. I must say, it is extremely hard to look cute in freezing cold weather with slushy snow everywhere, and especially being short, it's hard to bust out the platforms in this kind of terrain. But leave it to DOS to give it her best shot. I am sporting some hot neon pink skinnies for the first time. I got them a while ago but as all corporate America peeps can attest to this, it's rare to have an opportunity to wear jeans since I'm always in work attire most of the week. I have so many jeans I have yet to break in. I am currently in a state of obsession with neon colors so I am definitely enjoying the huge punch of color. I am in serious need to find some cute winter boots though. My poor Uggs have been through a couple winters with me now and are starting to fall apart. You will have to excuse the lack luster background of the Chinatown parking lot in these pics. Hahaha... I was with my fam bam going for dim sum and my awesome pops took these shots in the parking lot. It's always nice to have a good photog in the family. =) Thanks dada.
I am also rocking my new Mackage puffer that I got on sale from Aritzia. It's pretty warm and I am loving the inset vest zipper option. Downside is that it doesn't have a hood. But no worries, I've got it covered with my awesome fuzzy pom pom hat/hood from GAP. Remember these from my old post "
fuzzy balls"? It definitely adds a fun twist to my winter gear. I don't know about you, but as long as my head is warm, the rest of me feels pretty toasty too.
This was definitely a fun day for DOS. My dada is turning the big 5-0 in a couple of days or as I like to call it "Filthy Fifty". I surprised him with a Chicago Gangster Tour by Weird Chicago. So after Dim Sum, we loaded into a tour bus and got to hear about some Chicago history. Mostly the life of the infamous Al Capone. It was so cool to hear all the things that happened in Chicago back in the roaring twenties when Chi-Town was full of crime and was just straight grimy and dangerous. Gun shots, murders, and organized crime. How cool! The south loop has so much history and this little piece of Coliseum Park is one of the only things that are left from that era. Lots of naughty things went on around here. If you are in Chicago and need something to do and want to learn some interesting history, definitely look up
Weird Chicago. They have a few different tours you can try out. The tour also stops at a bar so you can have a midday cocktail. =) I always find it so fun to do tours of your own city. I've lived here for years and know nothing about Chicago history. I had no idea that Chicago was so crazy back in the day. It totally made me want to be a gangster and have a cool name like "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn. Maybe I could be "Deadly Daggers DOS" also known as "Triple D" and my weapons of choice are my daggers of death. Admit it, you'd be scared of me. I wonder if the Mafia is hiring. LOL! "Hell on Heels" would be another one I could roll with. And the last thing you would hear before your gruesome death would be the click clack of my stilettos. MUAHAHA! Pray you never cross me. RAWR!
As always, thanks for reading and leave me comments to read during the week! Are you diggin' the neons as much as I am right now? Hehehe...
