My favorite murals
Decided to check out two of my favorite murals today in Wicker Park – I love the art in Chicago! The lower one by our friend Laura Berger is so sweet and summery. Perfect for the bright and warm day we’re having today. I needed to keep my outfit easy to walk around. This tunic top is a great layering piece and these booties are my favorite AND they’re vegan!

It’s all about the Boots
Really there is nothing better than a statement boot this fall. I fell in love with this suede pair from Simply Be – the gorgeous bohemian-inspired embroidery in such bright colors. Perfect height for me – easy enough to walk around in and they just enhance a pair of jeans or leggings. I paired with a simple pair of “boyfriend” jeans, a waxed denim moto, a luxe but simple shirt and my favorite oversized scarf. A great look for any chilly fall day.

Rose Blouse
Took a little stroll around the neighborhood today on the way to brunch. Just so happy that it really feels like fall finally and I can wear long sleeves again. This sheer rose colored shirt from Simply Be is a perfect transitional piece. The little tie details on the bell sleeve give it something special. It fits true to size and really looks luxe. Paired it with an easy faux-leather skirt and my favorite clutch. I hope you all have a perfect weekend!

Easy Sunday Black Midi Dress
I scored this amazing easy midi dress from Old Navy last year. It has become one of my staple garments in my closet – easily dressed up or down and it’s just so comfortable to wear. I’m really bummed they’re not making this dress anymore – I would easily buy another 5 just to always have it in my closet.
also I cut my bangs a bit shorter – I’m loving this style as I’m working on growing out my hair

Striped Sweater
This weekend was spent with friends and there was lots of PLANTS involved. The best being the morning we all spent at the Garfield Park Conservatory.
I haven’t purchased new clothes in so long, but CityChic just had a fantastic little sale and I snagged this super soft oversized striped sweater for casual weekend days. I love it so much and I’m also so happy to have some new items in my wardrobe.
So we’re back in action sort of here at InTheThickOfIt. at least for now. I hope to interact with some more folks. I’m trying to build up my instagram a bit too – so make sure to follow me there – I post lots of day-to-day stuff. It’s not as curated.
Yes my hair is longer. Yes I’m fatter. Yes I am happy.

Holbox
So I went to Mexico. A sweet little island Holbox. I mostly wore bathing suits and hats – but also found this sweet sheer embroidered sun dress that I wore as a coverup.
