And You Say Chi-City

One of the perks of my job is that I fly to Chicago relatively often (about once a month). I love the city - the fact that they have actual seasons, the El, the expensable cab fare, hotel & food...just about everything.

Since I travel often to much colder states (Chicago for work & Columbus for home), I often look ridiculous layering so much while in LAX, but the moment I get off the plane in Chicago (where it is high 20's), I'm sure glad I did:

express blazer, gap cardigan, martin + osa long-sleeved, citizen jeans

Dressing for the advertising industry is tricky: you want to dress nice, but not overly formal (or else you look out of place & God forbid...uncool).

martin + osa long-sleeved shirt, skirt from francesca's, f21 accessories & belt, nine west nude wedge

You'll notice that is the same shirt I wore the day before. I was going to wear a grey short-sleeved shirt until my mom advised me that a long-sleeved shirt would help me avoid being cold in an AC room or too hot if wore my jacket. Why are moms so smart?

I ended up changing into jeans for dinner because I didn't want to be that girl...you know, the douchette who didn't wear clothes appropriate for the weather. Shivering in the snow & slipping on ice is not cute.
