plaid and pearls.

Style
Even a year and a half later, working in downtown Chicago is still a little surreal to me. Most days I wake up {snooze at least 4 times}, get ready as fast as I can {due to said snooze-a-palooza}, and make my way on the red line to the closest stop to work. And although I don’t see much of the city with my daily commute, every once in awhile I’ll take a more scenic route to and from work. On those rare days, I’m always floored by how gorgeous this city really is. I’m obsessed with the Chicago River  filled with water taxi’s and boat architectural tours, the view of the lake from my office window, the busy streets full of yellow taxi’s, the iconic skyline that makes the downtown feel like a playground. 
And then you walk a little outside your office, and you see views like this:
Not to shabby, right? I’m a very lucky gal!
As I’ve said before, I take the “casual” part of business causal very seriously. I can usually be spotted in a blazer, t-shirt or button down, paired with my favorite skinny jeans. With downtown Chicago in as my backdrop, I’m ready for work – or as ready for work as I can be – working in social media often packs a lot of surprises…

    I so so love this outfit–too cute! And shots like that of the river and taxi boat always remind me of "My Best Friend's Wedding"–one of my favorites!

    Your pictures of Chicago make me miss living 20 minutes away so much! I'm pretty sure you and I are kindred spirits or something because I either own similar items in my wardrobe or want everything that's in your wardrobe … our style is so similar! You look great, as always. xo

    I LOVE Chicago! Luckily for me my bestie lives outside of Chicago! So I get to visit usually a couple of times a year! That outfit is adorable and perfect for fall! I so wish I could wear cute clothes to work, scrubs get so boring!
