As getting dressed every morning has become a real challenge, dressing for a sudden weather change has proven to be even more challenging. While last weekend’s cooler temps were a godsend for me, I realized that I had very little fall-like clothing that I could wiggle myself into. ;) So I fell back on the classics: dark jeans, my favorite military jacket, a black bag, and gold and leopard accessories.
Wasn’t it Jenna Lyons who called leopard a neutral? (She was so right.) And don’t fancy accessories always make a boring outfit more fun?
Recently, I was introduced to Charming Charlie: a retailer that carries a ton of women’s accessories, jewelry and clothing at extremely affordable prices. (There’s one on Michigan Avenue, for all you Chicagoans!) If you’re looking to add that little something extra to your end-of-summer or fall wardrobes, and don’t want to break the bank doing it, Charming Charlie (and the StyleWatch x Charming Charlie Collection) is the place to go.
These photos were snapped at the beach on Saturday, right before Mitch and I visited an amazing New York-style slice place: Dante’s Pizzeria in Logan Square. While we both love deep dish, we’d been hardcore missing NYC-style pizza, but hadn’t yet found an establishment we loved. Well, we found it! SO GOOD. You have to go. But beware: the slices are pretty huge. Don’t be like us and order four slices and garlic bread. We now understand why the waitress gave us such a funny look when we placed our order. ;)
Anyway, I’ve been trying my best to look presentable when we go out, even though it’s hard. But I definitely felt put-together with my black bag (which is deceivingly large and carries everything I need!), leopard bangle, and gold watch. Be sure to check out my other favorites from Charming Charlie below!
