What I Wore To Chicago

 Two weeks ago I spent a week in Illinois visiting my children.  One of those days we went shopping on "The Magnificent Mile":  one of my favorite places on earth to shop!  It was a beautiful seventy degree day (very unseasonably warm for a February day in Chicago) and this is what I wore.


 I wore an comfy old shift dress I've shown you twice before HERE and HERE.  This time I styled my dress with a long burgundy cardigan from Worthington and tall cognac boots.


The cardigan is a little longer than the dress, so it provided nice coverage in the back.


Because I was traveling I carried a cross body bag.  I wore the same gold statement earrings I've worn with this dress before because they just go so well with it!



Have a Great Day!  Amy

      I think we did mostly window shopping, although I did buy a few trinkets. My daughter found a lot at the HUGE Forever 21. They had a 60% clearance sale and she ended up with a bagful of clothes for $16.00. Unbelievable!

    Chicago has been on my bucket list forever!! I love this look, and of course that bag is so cute too! Perfect color for spring. Oh, and to answer your question you left on my blog...I actually didn't see La La Land...just snapped some pics in front of the theatre :) But I heard it is good!

      Oh, you have to get to Chicago! I've been to most of America's major cities and I think Chicago is one of the best! So pretty, and so much to do there!

    I like that it was warm enough for this dress. I need to visit Chicago again some day. Haven't been since high school years.

    Perfect for walking around Chicago! It can get windy there even when it's warmer so the cardigan was a great idea! Love the burgundy colors in your outfit!

    Hi Amy, so cool your children live in Chicago - one of my absolute favorite US cities. Love this printed dress and how it is styled. Monochromatic yet with a lot of details. =) I purchased a similar dress from Wal Mart of all places, lol.
