I was getting comfortable being a caretaker and stay at home mom. I almost forgot how stressful these cold months can be. Work ramping up for everyone, schools starting, sicknesses spreading, barely seeing my friends and this weather just taking a toll on us. I know it’s good to take one hour of time to yourself for your wellness. These last few weeks that one hour has been hard to come by. I’m going to try all your recommendations for relaxing, my stress levels have been above and beyond. So thank you for sharing, I’m so excited for a whole new therapeutic experience!
Top: Suede jackets are amazing for the fall. Unfortunately Chicago has skipped straight to winter, but there have been a few nice days where you can pull off a suede jacket. They keep you warm and still light enough to wear with an outfit indoors. I bought this forest green jacket from Zara last year. Forest green is a great color to have in your cardigans for layering. I decided to pair it with a black top just to make it pop more for the winter. White is really cute too!
Bottoms: I’m wearing my favorite pair of high waisted jeans by Forever 21. They’re super comfortable and stretch when you need them to. They shrink once you wash them so you’re back to the super tight fit once they’re out of the dryer. As a mom, high waisted jeans are our savior. They’re perfect to pair with any fitted tops to keep your tummy looking slender!
Shoes: I love these grey suede Blondos from Nordstrom. They’re uber comfortable so I’ve been able to walk around in the city with these babies on. They’re cute to dress up with or trendy casual. Best part is that they’re one of the very few that are water repellent, which is so important for the Chicago climate.
