BOYS ENTRANCE with my Leather satchel
Even if you’re not in school - a roomy bag is a really good accessory to have. This white leather rucksack by Grafea England is perfect for carrying around on the daily.
I used it for shopping this weekend. S and I walked around on the icy/snowy streets running errands - record shopping and target and the usual stuff. My shoes (despite being suede) were a good choice for walking on ice - I didn’t slip at all. I love this outfit for casual saturday shopping. This chambray shirt is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe right now. I can’t recommend it enough. Or just chambray in general - there’s a lot out there right now. Great for that transition from winter to spring.

Winter Outerwear and Creepers
What a surprise, another freezing day in Chicago in the winter. There’s only so many days of boots and a puffy coat that I can handle, so I try to mix it up when I can.
I wanted to share some plus size outerwear looks with you. This jacket is one of my favorites - it has such great lines and fits me well. There’s something about a tailored-looking jacket that just makes you feel confident - even when it’s 4 below.
These shoes are new and are great for winter walking. My partner S has been wearing creepers since high school. I love the look of creepers, but never found a pair that felt really me. When S showed me these great single-buckle gray TUKs, I totally fell in love and bought them immediately. They’re super comfortable and good for navigating streets covered in ice.
