Chicago Bound!

Hello All,

Next week I will be in Chicago for work. I am super excited to see the sights, shop, people watch, and just marinate in the Windy City. Oh and get some work done, too, I suppose.

So gorgeous, right? 

Now I need to pack. In general, Chicago tends to be quite a bit cooler than Saint Louis, so I will need a warm coat. I am excited to wear this amazing men's wear inspired coat I bought a couple weeks ago!

I probably couldn't of worn it here for a few more weeks, so thank you, Chicago, for being windy and frigid! 

But woman cannot dress on coat alone, so here are my other packing essentials:

1. A great white t-shirt (or whale, its your choice!)

2. One pair of fabulous heels. You never know what may come up. Be like a boy scout: always prepared.

3. Comfy jam-jams. My lazy butt plans on putting in some quality hotel time.

4. A cozy cardigan.

5. Distressed skinny jeans

6. Shoes you can walk in. Duh.

7. One easy dress (pack tights, yo, Chi-town's chilly!)

Of course you'll need a few other things, but this should get you through your first couple days. You can either pack more separates or shop for them!
