Elizabeth McKay Blouse (Nearly sold out, but loving this elephant-print EMcK blouse! And everything else Elizabeth McKay ever, haha.) / J.Crew Skirt (Sold out, but loving this scalloped tweed skirt–which isn’t going to happen–and this scalloped dress. Sigh.) and Earrings / Tory Burch Tote / Brooks Brothers Kitten Heels (Old, similar here) / C.Wonder Bracelet (Old, similar here. It’s okay to dream.) / Joyiia Necklace (c/o)
Right before we left for the East Coast for Thanksgiving, Mitch and I went on a “staycation” to the W Hotel on Lakeshore in downtown Chicago.
Best. Night. Ever.
Okay, maybe not ever. It’s definitely at the top of my list right now, though! I’ll be sharing my experience at the gorgeous hotel in the next couple of days, but in the meantime, here’s what I wore for our night out on the town. A little proper, yes, but we were staying at the W! And when a preppy girl gets her chance to go all-out prep, she takes it. ;)
In other news, I’d like to welcome my beautiful niece, Carson Carolynn, into the world! Carson, you are absolutely perfect, and I can’t wait to meet you. John, Sarah, Parker and Cameron–I’m so happy for you! Family complete! ;)
I absolutely love that skirt! I hope your Thanksgiving went well :)

Thank you, Kate! I might own this skirt in three different colors, haha!! xx

Yet another great outfit. Thanks for the inspiration! By the way, do you mind if I ask what brand hose you appear to be wearing? If indeed you’re wearing any, it’s so sheer and light that I can barely tell…and that’s exactly what I’m looking for! TU!
Hi Fullon! Thank you so much. :) You’re such a sweetheart!
The hose are from Hanes! My girlfriends make fun of me for wearing them all the time, but I’m SO much warmer in them. I feel like they allow me to wear skirts for a whole month longer than if I were to go bare-legged!
Hope this helps! xoxo!
Thank you so much, Kelly! Uh, it’s FREEEZING outside, so of course you’re gonna cover your legs. Smart gal on top of fashionable! :-)
