Chicago has not had a winter like this since I was in college, which was definitely over 6 years ago. Every winter Chicago secretly hopes and expects another mild winter and prepares for the standard. This year, we were blindly hit with an Artic blast. Yes that’s what the news weather reports refer to it as. To my knowledge, only Chicago is experiencing this miserable weather. Not only are we hit with layers and layers of snow on almost a daily basis, but as well as unbearable temperatures. For example, this coming Wednesday our high is -17 Fahrenheit. Yikes, so while we are trying to make the most of what we can indoors—I can’t help, but notice the restlessness amongst social media. Everyone is jumping on each other, and attacking each other for the most petty things. We all attempt to live by women empowerment, but to be honest some people don’t and we shouldn’t try to force that upon them. Yes it’s extremely unfortunate, personally I let an individual know that I did not appreciate the way she spoke to me as well as her lack of genuine support. I think that’s the best we can do. If it bothers you that much, feel free to politely let them know in private. There is no need to expose them, because you would be stooping down to their level.
Top: I ordered this extremely cozy co-ord from The Boutique Liverpool. I’ve ordered from her before and have always enjoyed the quality and fitting of her clothing line. This year I bought this ultra warm co-ord. By ultra-warm, I believe this is the only outfit that actually kept me warm through Chiberia temperatures without layering. Yes, you heard me correctly— without layering. So this is what the folks in the UK have access to, the quality and winter fabrics necessary to survive outdoors. I’ll be investing in more wool outfits especially for this crazy Chiberia winter.
Bottoms: This skirt by The Boutique Liverpool is amazing with the co-ord or without it you’ve seen me wear it before as I decided to wear it separately here. It’s figure fitting and super thick, so you can pair it with any top and you’ll find your legs super warm as long as they are covered by the skirt. I enjoy wearing the co-ord separately since most of the time I’m indoors and I don’t want to overheat.
Jewelry: I love these beautiful druzy earrings by Enayah’s Jewelry. They’re super quaint and remain elegant. Gold is a beautiful color to wear especially when you pair it with whites in the winter.
