It’s a sunny Monday in August, and the city mom is keeping it casual yet chic in a short-sleeve green sweater paired with blue linen shorts, the perfect combination of cozy and cool for a day in Chicago. Her brown sandals ground the outfit with laid-back style, while her go-to gold hoops and graduated rope necklace add a touch of elegance to the relaxed vibe. Her new stack of permanent bracelets sparkles with every movement, a small reminder of the simple joys. Today’s a big day—she’s dropped her son off for his first week of full-time daycare, and while she had grand plans to tackle her to-do list with all this newfound free time, somehow it feels like the list is growing faster than she can cross things off. She spent the day writing blog posts, completing author interviews, and planning for a new venture that she’ll be sharing on Instagram tomorrow\... so stay tuned! From the chaos of the day to the thrill of new projects, she’s tackling it all in style. LTKWorkwear LTKShoeCrush LTKSeasonal
