On a rainy Friday in June in Chicago, this cool stay-at-home city mom leaned into low-key layered style with black shorts, a soft gray tank tucked under a black checked button-down, her weather-friendly black Birkenstocks, and her signature gold hoops and herringbone necklace—just enough polish to feel pulled together without trying too hard. She spent the morning cozied up at her cowork/daycare space, finally catching up on blog posts and emails that had been politely ignored during her laptop-less lunch the day before. By afternoon, the rain was still falling but her mood had brightened—her husband was finally back after three days away for work, and she was more than ready to tag out for a bit and soak in the simple joy of adult conversation that didn’t involve potty charts or snack negotiations.
