SHADES OF GREY

First outfit post in the new year!  Whee!  Hello 2013!  It's been bonkers cold in Chicago lately but minus any real snowfall.  I guess it's good because my shoes are safe without the gross black slush and salt combo that's usually all over the streets.  Usually the killer around here is the wind chill but luckily this day the wind was calm so I was able to handle the mid thirty degree temps... of course with the help of my CFAN Adele beanie and Helena Quinn Carolyn coat.  It's kinda bonkers that I haven't done a legit shoot with this coat since I wore it a ton in the fall and early winter months.  #bloggerfauxpas  No joke, this coat instantly makes your outfit amazing.  It doesn't even really matter what you wear underneath it.  

And I am totes smitten kitten with this new Wilfred dress I snaggie snagged from Aritzia's big sale.  It's so soft and helloooooooo... side leg slit action... haaayyyyyy giiiirrrllllll...  I friggin' love Aritzia!  Shout out to Angie and Nikki!  Every year after Christmas, my sisteer and I go and rampage the store in Water Tower Place.  We wait to get the big daddy fitting room and just play dress up.  We tell each other how cute we are, edit our picks, and just have sister bonding time.  Definitely one of my all time favorite traditions.  (Thanks to Papa DOS)  Now that Aritzia has an online store, I was able to put together a plan of attack before I got there.  I sent my girl Nikki the items I wanted to try and they had them pulled for me.  Now that is some amazeypants service.  Nam sayin'?

Busted out my thigh highs again.  You know what that means.  Yep, didn't shave mah legs.  Woot!
