When getting dressed, I consider three things: Weather, warmth and destination. Living in Chicago, you never know what the weather will be like, and because the temperature fluxuates every day, that brings me to my next point. I am one of those people who is always cold, so wearing a long-sleeve shirt is also a priority unless it's at least 75 degrees. And lastly, considering where you're going and what will be appropriate is, of course, essential. Nothing makes me feel more uncomfortable than being underdressed, overdressed or just inappropriately dressed. That's why I give ya'll tips in every post, cause I don't want to see any of my readers showing up somewhere looking crazy.
This Free People thermal is one my staples. I have it in this color and one other, and wear them all the time because they fit most of the criteria above. Sometimes they're a little too casual for certain occasions because of their boho, hipster vibe. But for the most part, they fit in well, and are my go-to choice.

This Marc Jacobs hobo is my latest obsession. You might remember my other one that's similar. It holds my everyday belongings while offering a shoulder and cross-body option, making it a practical investment. Some people criticize how big it is, but when I'm running around the city and need my wallet, umbrella, water bottle, etc., it's nice to have the space. So F the haters. They're likely to be caught out in the rain without an umbrella, anyway.
If you're one of those people who thinks loafers are reserved for grannies and lames, then leave my blog now. I love these shoes. And I love them so much that they're my second pair. First of all, they are well-constructed. This a quality shoe that won't break down on you. And more importantly, you don't have to break it down either. Unlike other similar styles from places like Aldo, these shoes are comfy from the day you put them on—no breaking in required. They're completely made of soft, flexible leather.
