What I Wore, Cozy Edition, 3/17

What I Wore Cozy Edition

 Cotton Herringbone Sweater / Demi-Boot Jeans (Also try these.) / Shearling-lined Mules (Everyday mule version, and more affordable Madewell shearling-lined version.) / Mirror / Black Glass Cabinet / Keystick Wall Sconce / Flushmount Lights / Newer Chandelier

I need to come clean: I’ve largely been living in jeans and comfy sweaters for the last couple of months. And while it hasn’t seemed document-worthy, it’s been really nice. I really don’t think when I get out of the shower; I just throw on my favorite denim and whichever sweater looks like a warm hug in that moment. (Like the one I’m wearing above.) I obviously can’t wait to break out the spring and summer dresses, but for now, I’m reveling in hygge coziness—and fine, the minimal effort I put in 😉—during winter in Chicago. Here are some of my very real looks as of late!

Alice Walk Sweater Review

Alice Walk Sweater Review

Alice Walk Sweater / J.Crew Demi-Boot Jeans / Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Jack Rogers Padded Slides / Faux Diamond Tennis Bracelet / Comfiest Headband

My striped cotton Alice Walk mock neck sweater is one of the most-worn knits in my closet. It’s also a piece that nearly always gets packed in my suitcase! (Honestly what I brought to Rosemary is the stuff I pack for most trips. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 😆)

3 Spring Break Outfit Ideas

3 Spring Break Outfit Ideas

I’m still reminiscing about our trip to Rosemary Beach. It was a much needed pause, and we had such a wonderful time with my parents. I made a note of the pieces I wore the most on our trip, so if you have any upcoming travel plans for spring break or a warm-weather vacation, you might take inspiration from these three spring break outfits for what to pack.

Choosing Slowness

Choosing Slowness

Girls’ Tiered Dresses (Newer) / Kids’ Jack Rogers (The slides are back!) / Mom’s Dress (Newer. And this one is so cute, too!), Tote and Sandals / My Striped Travel Dress, Jacks and Dragon Diffusion Large Nantucket Tote (Tuckernuck has a bunch, too.) / Lucy’s Scooter / The Girls’ Swimsuits / Emma’s Wedge Jack Rogers Sandals

I’ve been trying to carry my camera with me more often. (I shoot with this mirrorless camera and this super lightweight lens, btw!)

I know some people think it detracts from the moment, but for me, it’s my phone that does that. The camera instead helps me appreciate the moments and realize I’m in them, if that makes sense. Sometimes it even makes them.

Since our trip to Rosemary beach, I’ve been patiently waiting for the weather in Chicago to warm up, so I can finally start to wear spring dresses again. There are so many beautiful new spring dresses, from casual ones to more dressy ones. Here are a few spring dresses under $200 that I have had my eye on recently.
