Chicago

Monday, November 2, 2020






Exactly 5 years ago on a second day of November, I moved to Chicago. It was a warm, sunny day, and all the way from Michigan to Chicago my future husband and I ate leftover Halloween candy. Our cats were meowing anxiously from the back seat of the car out of their pet carriers. It was exciting, our new life in a big American city was ahead of us.

Our first apartment was in Lincoln Park right across from the LP Zoo. It was unusual and fun to wake up to the lions' roar, and fall asleep to the howling of the wolves.

I'm still enjoying Chicago, the golden coast, the parks and the zoo. Pandemic makes it harder, but we're trying to soak in as much of the city as possible. 

For this casual monochromatic outfit, I shopped my closet yet again, and I borrowed this Chicago sweatshirt from my husband's! 

I've been a fan of total gray outfits for a while now (wearing same coat here, and a different one here).

Leather leggings have been an essential part of my wardrobe since maybe 2009!
