Hello There! Have eye mentioned how much eye love Chicago? Cheesy, but I couldn't help making those puns the whole day while in this outfit.
I've mentioned before how much I love street style, so I wanted to twist the usual boyfriend jeans and extra cool top and extremely adorable sunglasses that I've seen in those famous Tumblr photos and wear...a shift dress. It's comfortable, cute, and I never wanted to take it off (well, except when on a 5 hour airport delay...after I missed my flight...oops. You might already know the story if you follow me on Snapchat @SInsideMyCloset! Let's just say I wasn't back home snuggled in my bed until well into the wee hours of the morning. Yikes.)
This baby blue Eye-Catching Sleeveless Shift Dress from The Shopping Bag gave me some major fashion feels. The high collar makes it look so modern and the print had people all over the city stopping me and asking me where I got this dress! It's the perfect thing to throw on when you don't have the time to piece a full outfit together, but still want to hit the maximum style level. It's the perfect focal point that will have everyone's eyes on you!
I wanted to keep everything very simple and very comfortable with this dress due to the eye catching print (last one!). I've been on the hunt for a good pair of flats for a long time, even though I don't fancy wearing flats on the usual. I was smitten when I found this pair of nude Lucky Brand flats. The insoles are extra padded so it feels like you're walking on a mattress everywhere you go - I was super lucky to find these. Ok, enough with the puns, I know, I'm on a roll!
My go-to traveling purse is this black shoulder / hand bag from Kate Spade New York. The shoulder strap is perfect for when you're roaming city streets or hustling through the airport, and it's spacious interior is definitely a major plus. I'm a sucker for good basic black accessories and clothing - they take up most of my wardrobe. I just find it so much easier to put on the simple things - so when you really get all dolled up, it's extra special.
To sum this look up, it was the perfect outfit to prance around Michigan Ave. and Barney's New York in! Who else is a sucker for a good beauty department? I loved getting my makeup done at the Nars counter (even though I got a little bit too glammed for just a day out - but can you ever really be too glammed up?)
As I shopped around one of my favorite avenues in the world, I definitely had my favorite picks at each store that I stopped at. Hermes? The Hac Birkin 32 in black, obviously. Tory Burch? Junction Riding Boots (perfect for fall)! Jimmy Choo? Myth Suede Ankle Boots. YSL? Leather Biker Jacket...since I already found the perfect YSL lipstick! Chanel? Literally anything. Although, success is measured in whether or not you have a Chanel tweed skirt suit. I mean, at least for me...
