…and just to prove how extra I can be, I paired this ensemble with a houndstooth tote. A bit much? Perhaps. My coat is on super sale so grab it now! I’ve been wanting one for years and this oversized version fit the bill. It’s all about the details. The ruched sleeves, the oversized lapel and the large-scale pattern. I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.

I've been such a stress basket case lately and they reminded me (continuously) that I need to stop and just enjoy life. Amazing food, lotsa belly laughs and genuine, authentic girl talk. My cup runneth over. I've waited for girlfriends like this my whole life.
Read MoreChicago murals are at the height of their game. I tell ya...not a dull wall in sight which also made for the perfect backdrop for today's outfit post. I love when that happens.
Read MoreYou just know when you have a good thing...in off the shoulder dresses + tops. Clearly this is my anthem this summer. So okay...just one more. Everyone needs a version in black, right? It's a staple for Pete's sake!
Read MoreSchool's out...for SUMMER! I used to hate that song but it seemed fitting because this week's weather has been nothing short of amazing. I mean...my kids are wearing sunblock daily. That's a reallllly good sign that summer is here to stay.
