Jumpsuit Yourself

As I've mentioned, I'm currently having a love affair with jumpsuits, and I can't get enough of this new one from Lulu*s! The soft grid pattern and ruffle detail keep it interesting, while the neutral color palette means it'll go with anything! I love the laidback look of the loose, long pant legs, but I MacGyvered them into a cropped version for my second wear, which I liked even more! I'll share that look with you soon. Long live jumpsuits...a lazy, comfortable way to look stylish!

Feels Like Fall

The weather lately has been overcast and mild (even cool at times!), which is a far cry from the Midwestern summers I'm accustomed to. No complaints here, though. I'll take any opportunity to wear jeans, especially my go-to goldenrod pair!

Two of a Kind

Here's the matchy-matchy (down to the suitcase) look I wore on the last day in Chicago. Awhile back I mentioned my plan to create a makeshift two-piece outfit, and I finally got around to sewing the skirt! I'm loving matching outfits and hope to add another to my collection, preferably one that doesn't require my shoddy sewing skills.

Under the Sun

I beat the heat on our first day in Chicago with a breezy knit pinafore over a cropped bustier. So comfy and cute, too! Tomorrow I'll have one last Chicago outfit to share, and then it'll be back to real time -- promise!

Pitchfork

One day of my Chicago getaway was spent at Pitchfork Music Festival, where I got to see one of my all-time favorite artists, Joanna Newsom! I already absolutely adored her, but seeing her live was incredible. Her performance left me weeping...in the best way.
