Everyday Weekend Wear: What I Live In

Leggings and v-neck tee outfit on the Chicago River

I love getting dressed up, but what I live in 75% of the time is leggings and a v-neck tee.  On the weekends when I am out running errands I like to be comfortable and this is one of the most comfortable outfits that I own.  I recently bought these leggings and they are the best.  First of all, I love the price.  You can basically get two for the price of one.  Second, they are really great quality.  They wear really nice and wash up great.  You can’t beat it!

These Madewell tee’s are part of my basic wardrobe and they are my favs!  I have them in a few different colors and different sizes.  I wear the size small when I want a more fitted, cleaner look and I wear a medium when I want a billowed, more casual look.  They are easy to throw on with leggings or jeans.  I have to admit I might own three of these tees alone in white (I love a good white tee!).

Kurt and I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago when it was just starting to get warm in Chicago.  You never know what kind of weather you will get here in the Windy City, so when its a nice day-you take full advantage of it!  We took Addie down to the river walk and it was my first time down there.  I was in awe!  You see the city from a completely different perspective and its just beautiful.  And not to mention Addie loved it as well.  But then again she is always up for a long walk, wherever we might be going.  If you live in Chicago or are visiting- its a must see!

    I think your dog might be the cutest accessory possible!

    I’m always looking for an alternative to pricey Lululemon leggings, good to know there are tried and true alternatives that are a little more affordable.

      That’s exactly why I tried these leggings! I was sick of over paying at Lululemon. I actually prefer these more. Thanks for reading!

I have a love/hate with family photos. It always s I have a love/hate with family photos. It always sounds like a great idea when you book them, but they always end up being way more work than you think.  Work always ends up being crazy that day, something always goes wrong with someone’s outfit (this year it was Sloane’s adorable pink shoes that I swear I just bought her. They were too tight 🤨- so she threw on her rain boots). The weather is never quite what you expected when you planned everyone’s outfits. I swear I threw my dress on and had 2 minutes to spare before we were out the door.  The stress and planning that entails for 15 minutes of photos is crazy lol. And then you get them back and they perfectly capture your family 💙  I’m grateful we do these every year even if the process is a little crazy #fallfamilyphotos @tessamerrillphotography

My 3 year old loves all things rainbows and it daw My 3 year old loves all things rainbows and it dawned on me the other day- she’s my rainbow baby after so many losses 🌈 IVF, all the years of surgeries, shots, heartache, repeat.

The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all of his clothes 😀 He wore this @jcrew pink linen shirt to my baby shower and wore it proudly all day 🩷 He was so excited. After that when he would wear it I would remember he wore it to my shower. It represented all the hard times we went through to get Sloane here and it always took me back to that special day. So now I get to wear it proudly 🩷
There is no more special bond than a daughter and There is no more special bond than a daughter and her father and I have to say I was blessed with one of the best 8/18/46-4/20/25 🩷 My dad always told me ‘if you look good, you feel good’ and that’s when my love of fashion and clothes started.  I will always remember him when I hear an oldies song playing, when I see a classic car (especially if it’s a red 1967 Barracuda), when I’m eating a donut, drinking a hot cup of coffee or when I’m ironing my clothes. Yes I still iron haha but I got that from my dad.  He was always put together and his clothes were always crisp. I know he touched so many lives including mine. He will be greatly missed 🩷I will never forget the last words he said to me and the sound of his voice when he said ‘I love you Moo’. “The best things in life aren’t things”- Art Buchwald— 16 candles was the song we danced to at my wedding and my favorite song as a little girl that we used to dance to
