A simple all white look needs a few subtle details to make it a bit more interesting. A scarf and shoes can always do the trick! I decided on a smaller scarf since my shirt is oversized, and tied it as a loose neckerchief. Effortless, polished and ready for Spring!

I’m really enjoying these slip-on sneakers, they’re comfortable for wearing around the city and ideal for Spring. The perfect accessory to this sporty-chic look is a black backpack. I’m looking forward to using this bag for upcoming travel and as a nice change from my usual shoulder bags. Have a great Monday!

The transition from Winter to Spring clothing is always the most challenging for me. I want so badly to wear all the lightweight fabrics and fresh colors, but it’s still too cold! This Spring has been especially difficult since the temperatures are still around 30° most days. So, I opted for a lighter jacket and beanie. I found this tee at Zara a while back and decided to keep it simple and stick to a cooler palette. But how fun will this tee look with a pair of jean shorts and slip-on sneakers?! Someday, right?

Ok, so overalls are back!  They seem to come and go out of style every few years; glad they’re back! As I mentioned here, this pair has been on my Spring/Summer must-have list. They are a great alternative to a pair of jeans and have a relaxed fit. I also love the tapered legs, it’s perfect for cuffing and wearing with a sandal or sneaker.

Layering scarves together is a great way to keep warm and add texture to a look. I like draping two scarves together around my neck and shoulders once or twice, depending on the length or size of the scarves. And it’s an easy way to jazz up a look or add a pop of color. What are some of your favorite ways to wear scarves or tie them?

Leather, jeans and a sweater. So simple, yet so great! The perfect combination of comfort and cool. A pink lip adds a touch of softness and compliments my subtle gold accessories. And you can never go wrong with a leather jacket, as long as it’s warm enough!

The weather is finally warming up in Chicago. The snow is melting and I believe this is the first shoot since November that doesn’t include piles (and piles) of snow! All-white is so refreshing and simple. A gray sweater coat and simple gold accessories add just the right amount of color. Black oxfords and a black bag are classic and effortless. Have a great week!

I love the graphic-knit pattern on this cozy sweater. It’s the perfect amount of warmth for these cold wintery days we’ve been having in the teens. I decided on a skinny jean, neutral bag, and pointy boots for a feminine finish. An oversized pair of sunnies are ideal for diffusing the bright glare of the white snow, and a dark lip add just the right amount of color.
