I would love to wear an outfit like this on a day trip to Chicago. I'm only 55 minutes from the city and I should make the effort to get up there soon. Layers are a necessity, so I would layer a couple pairs of socks, tights and wear a warm base layer. I would choose a cape (as long as the temp is greater than 30) as outerwear because they are very comfortable and unrestrictive. I would probably carry and extra wrap scarf in my bag.
Ooh! The cape is absolutely gorgeous! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and were able to relax and enjoy the family :)
ReplyDeleteI did have a relaxing holiday....did you? :)
DeleteHow stylish and cute! You should definitely make the effort to go; you'll enjoy it more than you expect. That happens to me every time I visit NYC.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely want to go...its just a matter of finding the time as I gear up for the next semester.
DeleteThe cape is fabulous! I went to check it out...gosh I can picture myself in it already:) Just wish it was cheaper:)) You've got great taste.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, its way out of my budget too...but a girl can dream right? Now the mission is to find and affordable one.
DeleteWow there are a lot of layers there. Ilove the black and white colour scheme. Very timeless.
ReplyDeleteYes...lots of warm layers; Chicago is really bitter cold at this time of year.
DeleteI love black and white/black and cream color scheme too. I could do my entire wardrobe in those two colors.
That is a very smarty and stylish selection.. I especially love those Dr Martens-like boots. Polyvore IS heaps of fun, isn't it?
ReplyDeletePolyvore is naughty fun....because it makes me want to do some naughty shopping!
DeleteYou would look great in this classic outfit! Love the white piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you.....I wish it was in my budget!
DeleteOooh, I love everything in the picture! I don't own a cape right now but I've been wanting one. Nice choices!
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky your oldest son was so thoughtful at Christmas time.
Hope you have a great New Year!!
Hope you have a great New Year too. I don't own a cape either, but I've been on the lookout for a long time. Hoping I will chance upon one in the thrift shops.
DeleteGORGEOUS cape you picked out!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays Lisa!
xo, sam

I love it too, Sam. Its out of my budget, but I'm on the lookout for one that's more affordable.
DeleteHappy Holidays to you too Samantha (that is also my daughter-in-law's name :))
I wish I lived that close to Chicago...I would probably go at least once a month. Your outfit here is very chic. I would probably add some sort of splash of color--red bag, colorful scarf or something--for moi.
ReplyDeleteI would love to own this outfit, but I'm missing the cape. I think a splash of color would be beautiful too. I see hot pink!
DeleteI love black and white looks - though I would need to be really, really warm to consider spending a day out walking around a city right now when it's literally freezing out!
ReplyDeleteAnd in response to your comment, no fashion degree, just lots of hours spent blogging, I think!!
Glad I was able to provide some inspiration, do let me know when you wear it!
Chic on the Cheap
I agree; I would need to be super warm too and I don't know if that outfit would be warm enough. I think I would need more of a barrier from the gusty Chicago wind and the lakefront cold!
DeleteLove all those pieces. Creme and black is one of my favorite color combinations
ReplyDeleteBlack and cream is my all time favorite combination. I would wear it every day if I could. They are great pieces aren't they? Most of them are way out of my budget!
