Last week’s weather was literally so insanely cold we barely knew what to do with ourselves. Taking Oliver out three times a day was painful, but he’s new booties from Furry Footwear definitely eased the pain. This week is still cold, but feels like a heat wave compared to last!

When the weather is like this, dressing up kind of gets tossed out the window. I hate to admit it, but there were two days where I actually wore fleece-lined leggings with sweatpants over them — I’m not joking about these subzero temperatures. Now that things are back to normal (well, as normal as Chicago winter can be), I’m back to wearing things I actually want to go out of the house in. I love this knitted floppy hat that I got at Anthropologie last year, but I have to admit, the wind doesn’t help!

I might still be bundled, but I’m thinking very warm thoughts and even browsing swimsuits for a trip to Mexico in late May. Anything to get me through this!

    I moved from Chicago to New York a couple of years ago. I never thought there was that much of a difference between temps in the two places. But, alas, there is. Chicago is a beast in the winter (especially the wind as you noted). However, we all forget it in the summer! Anyway, you look super cute in this outfit!

    It’s in the 20s here this week, and I’ve been so happy about it. It’s crazy to think that 20 degrees feel good compared to what we’ve been dealing with. Stay warm, and cute ;)
