Casual Winter Nights

Since we live in Chicago and there is nothing to do besides eating with your loved ones, we’re all about the quality food scene. Unfortunately our date nights have been rare recently, but this hasn’t stopped us from taking our two year old with us. We take our cheat meals very seriously and pick out a restaurant for the week to release our hunger on. As I’ve grown older, my tastebuds have a stronger appreciation for quality. I no longer enjoy super fatty foods that fill my mouth with oil and dough, I just can’t do it and there’s no reason to go through with it. When you start cooking fresh and clean, you’ll see what a difference it makes in your taste palette and you can spend your money more wisely then on the “junk” that’s out there. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Arby’s now and then (yes I’m aware that’s not a popular fast food spot) but if you’re going to be cheating you deserve to cheat with the best quality. Why waste your calories on oil?

Top: I just bought this oversized polo shirt from the Zara Black Friday sale. I love oversized shirts and the best way to wear them is by tucking them into your pants. I bought this in teal because the color looks amazing on our olive skin tone and my wardrobe lacks it. 

Bottoms: I’m wearing my mom jeans by Express. They’re actually ankle jeans, but since I’m short these do perfectly. Mom jeans are perfect for that high waisted snug fit to hide your battles. They do make your hips look wider, so just be conscious with what top you’ll be pairing it with in order to achieve the figure you want.  

Shoes: I bought these red suede chuck boots by Steve Madden almost six years ago. They’re comfortable and always fun to add as a pop of color in this season.
