On a rainy Friday evening in June in Chicago, this cool stay-at-home city mom swapped her daytime drizzle gear for a little shine and polish—dark wash wide leg jeans, a satin button-down that caught the soft glow of the restaurant lights just right, black mules with a gold buckle, and her signature gold hoops and herringbone necklace, of course. She joined the crew from this spring’s mom’s retreat for a well-earned night out, raising a glass to one friend’s exciting restaurant opening and another’s birthday. The weather may have been dreary, but the vibe was anything but—stories flowed, laughter echoed, and for a few magical hours, motherhood came with cocktails and candlelight.
