striped sweater |

Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you’re a little warmer than we are here in Chicago, and the snow just keeps falling.

It’s been a minute since I shopped at Zara, but this sweater is a cozy classic I couldn’t pass up. Name something more timeless than navy and white stripes! It’s a great piece that will transition well into the spring too. I’m picturing the sweater with white jeans and an espadrille or maybe a sneaker, and layer a denim jacket on top if you need it. Of course, things sell out quickly at Zara, but I did find the exact sweater on eBay in many sizes. Snag it while it’s still available. I also purchased this one too!

Thanks for stopping by! XO, MS

Whenever Henry and I go out in Chicago, I feel like my wardrobe is lacking the edge that every other girl is seamlessly pulling off. Let’s be real, I’ll never be edgy, but I can add a piece here and there that will help me fit in. Ha ha! The first thing I added was these faux leather pants that I can dress up and down. I love them casually here with a sweater and sneakers, but I’ve also worn them with a dressier sweater and heels for dinner. Because they are faux leather, I didn’t spend a ton on something I probably wouldn’t wear as much in Dallas. I will say, these are super comfortable if you’re looking to add something like this to your wardrobe!

Thanks for joining me on this ride as we settle into our new city!

XO, MS
