Passing Slowly Through Winter

January 14, 2016
December was a fairly mild month for winter weather in Chicago, but January has been chilling me back to reality. It's certainly time to bundle up, which is why I've been regularly wearing this suede Michael Kors coat. I got an extremely good deal on it at T.J. Maxx, paying only $150 for what was originally a $300 coat. Don't underestimate that place, people!

Street Level Totes are some of the trendiest handbags on the market right now. This particular one doesn't belong to me. I borrowed it from Natalie in the City for this shoot, but I later bought my own and it's easily become one of my favorite bags.

This wool sweater has served as a winer staple for me. Manufactured by Anthropologie, this neutral piece is sophisticated and practical. It can be paired with many different kinds of pieces, like jeans and skirts.
