The Olive Shades

Chicago has been a serious disappointment these days. We’re a few weeks into May and still experiencing winter-esque temperatures. On top of it, we all know how moody Chicagoans are and how much the weather affects us. After a gruesome winter, with lots of summer teases you can imagine how unhappy the bunch is. I already saw how catty the crowd was becoming last weekend and let me tell you, I’m not a fan.

Top: I bought this suede jacket from Zara two summers ago. I actually purchased it in Paris on our trip, and I definitely feel like the overseas Zaras have a much better selection! I love this olive color, it looks great for our skin tone and is the perfect color to pair with neutrals. With Chicago’s chilly spring, I’m still rocking turtlenecks so I decided to layer up as much as I can to stay warm.

Bottoms: These are one of my favorite high waisted distressed jeans from Forever21. I enjoy the style and the comfort, however I wish the structure of Forever 21’s denim was more rigid.  

Jewelry: I’ve layered my Zudo Allah gold medallion necklace with the 4 Quls pendant. They’re a beautiful combo and together they make an elegant statement piece. Use MARIAM15 for $ off your Zudo purchase. A portion of their proceeds are donated to sexual violence victims and survivors.
