Weekend Update
Being home (instead of constant traveling) for the past few weekends has been such a treat. Even though it is super cold in Chicago right now, we’ve been enjoying the ramp-up to all the holiday festivities. On Thursday my group of friends all had our astrology charts read by The Modern Astrologer, and it was CRAZY how spot-on she was about every one of us. I recorded my session so I could listen to it over and over again.
Friday evening was the first night of Christkindlmarket at the Daly Center, where we managed to snag a perfect seat in the makeshift beer hall. We sipped our gluhwein indoors to the sounds of oompah music. It is one of my favorite things to do in Chicago during the holidays! Can you believe we were in GermanyĀ around this time last year?
Other than that, we drove out to Indiana for my friend and photographer Michelle’s friendsgiving party, and ate ourselves silly. And weĀ FINALLY went out to see Bohemian Rhapsody, which knocked my socks off. I’d say it was overall a fabulous weekend.
Trendy Workwear
Workwear can get boring. I know – because I live it day in and day out. It is so easy to throw on a pair of black pants and a blouse. But that’s honestly uninspiring and makes me feel so blah, like I didn’t even try. Chadwicks of Boston asked me to style a look from their wool collection, and I leapt at the chance.
Chadwicks has all-inclusive sizing, all at the same price. Petites, misses, tall, and plus. That’s perfect for me because I have short arms and legs and often order petite sizes when available. For trendy workwear, fit is SO important because you want to look and feel polished, and how can you do that if your clothes don’t fit correctly?
I picked out these cream wide-legged pants because they have a bit of a retro flair, which you know I love. A fitted ruby-colored crewneck sweater tucked into the flowy pants feels elegant and smooth. And, c’mon, you know I couldn’t pass up a wool coat in a gorgeous rose color. Chadwicks also asked my friends Dani and Amber to style looks, which I am obsessed with. They are both plus with completely different styles, so it is so fun to see what they chose and how they styled it. I love getting outfit inspiration from my friends!

What an amazing power suit! Happy Thanksgiving!
Roxanne, this outfit is so freaking fabulous! I absolutely adore this look on you from head to toe. It is flashing me back to my days when I wore suits every day and needed to keep it interesting. It sure was fun, but now I really do enjoy just styling up my denim! And how fun that your friendsgiving included an astrology reading. I love it!

What a great outfit in an unexpected winter color. It’s definitely a happy boost for a Monday morning at the office! Getting inspiration from friends, and you, is the game of the game! It’s great to have fun holiday traditions to enjoy this time of year and in this cold weather!
You are rocking this wide legged trousers! Love the earrings and how cute are the details! Clothes that fit correctly right off the rack are hard to come by so I can totally agree to that sentiment. Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend and started Thanksgiving (friends giving) early – that’s so cool. I love this time of year because of all the gatherings with friends and family. Happy Monday!
