the editrix

I've decided I'm going to walk around Chicago like a femme fatale fashion editrix in a crazy sculpted coat, with a skintight pencil skirt, and 6 inch platform ankle boots like,

"Oh, this old thing? This is just my outfit to go buy toilet paper at Target."

After a record breaking summer, I am so ready for fall. Fall/spring are probably the shortest and most fickle seasons in Chicago but I am ready for it to NOT be 90 degrees.

A roomy but slinky sweater dress in the perfect shade of navy.

feeling 90s part 1

For some reason, I've been feeling really nostalgic about all things 90s. I'm listening to 90s pop music, playing my favorite 90s game (Starcraft, duh), and craving 90s fashion (unwashed hair, light wash denim, excessive layering.
