2020 has been a constant state of questioning my existence. With all this remnant time, I’ve been pondering my unique value proposition, what my personal brand identity is about which, in turn, takes me down an entirely new rabbit hole: owning my flaws. I’ve come to the conclusion that you cannot possibly bring value to the table if you aren’t accepting the parts of yourself that need work and owning all your flaws. We’ve got to find a way to stop beating ourselves up and instead, start celebrating what makes us unique.

Thursday loves.

Mmmmmm Fall. So delicious and layered and vibrant. I may have a case of the FOMOs from Fashion Week but I am ready to embrace a new season. Not to be confused with pumpkin spice anything because that stuff is gross. Just gimme all the honey crisp apples, sweaters and bonfires and I am a happy camper...a stylish camper but happy!

What's the #1 thing on your Fall shopping wish list? Dying to know!

Trench layers.

This weekend was gorgeous topped with birthday parties, family time and some light errand running. Still a ways away from shorts and sandals weather but getting close. I've had this trench for some time and I am always happy to break it out again. It's one of my favorite basics. It's funny when you purchase something that you aren't ultra excited to wear but then find it's one of your most trusted pieces a decade later. I suppose that's a testament to our personal style evolution.

Wednesday loves. (the Spring style edit)

Spring is the yin and yang of fashion. It you live in Chicago, you might actually turn both the AC and the heat on within the same day. It's what inspired today's post -- 20 pieces to take you through transition weather. Blouses, denim, dresses and strappy heels. Some of my favorite items and ones that you should stock up on because they never go out of style. I find myself layering a lot during the season because you can always shed the layers = smart dressing!

Just one shoulder.

I think we are programmed to wear dressy separates with other dressy separates. I stopped subscribing to that once I had children. I realized I might be dressing up a hair less hence I decided to dress up the ordinary. Why shouldn't you wear what you love...everyday? So that become my mantra and today is no exception.

Tribal trim.

Well...Monday we meet again. I spent the better part of yesterday green juicing to rid myself of the all the toxins I've consumed in the last week. Hello Spring Break. You only live once...so they say.

On the brink.

You guys! I've been having one hell of a time getting style posts up. For whatever reason, I am completely blocked from Reward Style which is frustrating to say the least and I literally have had no time to take pictures. Ahhhh...kill me now.

Denim that you need right now! <9 pairs!>

Fun fact: I fell in love with SPIN classes starting in January. It's a welcome change up to my at-home workouts. Another fun fact: my calves have grown and all my jeans are tight in the calf. Who does this happen to? Me…of course.

Bell.

This is the time of year where I completely struggle with fashion. I am not invigorated to wear brights and I am totally tired of wearing denim. All things considered, Chicago has seen a great winter...we've suffered much more in the past. Still...those grey days can really get a girl down and I've found myself resorting to black....a lot!
