School started for the boys and things have been so busy. Much too busy to even think about trying to get photographed.... sheesh! It's been way too long since I've last posted. I've been wanting to share my photos of what I wore on our trip to Chicago at the end of August. We decided to visit Chicago to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I couldn't get us a non-stop flight out of Orange County using miles for the week of our official anniversary, so I made the sacrifice of not being there on our actual anniversary and booked for the following week. It actually worked out very well. We celebrated on our real anniversary the previous week by staying at a hotel for a night locally, and then we had the following week to look forward for our eight day trip to Chicago. Here are some of the outfits I wore.
Hotel Lobby Outfit:
ECI 'Paper Lace' blouse, Lavender - Nordstrom
MICHAEL Michael Kors 'City Shorts', White - Nordstrom Rack
Lauren Jeans Co. 'Tamara Classic' denim jacket, Nolita Wash - Macys.com
Tory Burch 'Reva' flat, Metallic Silver - Nordstrom
Alfani two-toned cuff bracelet, hematite & silver - Macy's
Enjoying a "Cheezborger, Cheezborger! No fries, Chips! No Pepsi, Coke!" at the Billy Goat Tavern. The classic SNL sketch was based on this restaurant.
I wish I would have remembered to get a better shot of me in this navy draped dress I wore on the first of our two nights out without the kids. We went to dinner at a very old school Chicago steakhouse with my husband's clients who live in Chicago during the summers. Below is the stock photo of the dress. I wore it with
clear & silver chandelier earrings and copper croc pumps. A lot of booze here at this table! I was the wimpy one here and wanted the Baileys.
Anrthropologie 'Whirligig' Dress, Navy - Anthropologie
Me and my boys in front of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House in Hyde Park.

Second date night out, again I didn't get properly photographed. I wore this dress the previous week for
our official tenth anniversary night out.
Shockingly, my husband agreed to go with me to Harpo just so I could stand in front of the studio and have myself photographed in front of the building.
No Oprah Winfrey Show for me. I was three months too late. The last show taped in May, I showed up in August.
No Oprah Winfrey Show Outfit, Our Last Day in Chicago:
Filtre tee w/ navy & gray twist embroidery, Lavender - Nordstrom
Shimera tank, White - nordstrom.com
7 For All Mankind Mid Rise Bootcut jeans, Rinse Wash - Macy's
Land's End rain jacket, yellow - Land's End @Sears

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Looks like a wonderful trip! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteTHE-LOUDMOUTH, thanks for stopping by here! It was such fun getting the family in our robes. We never wanted to take them off.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, Thanks! We had an awesome time. Can't wait to get back to Chicago some day again.
Pear, Thanks again dear. I keep talking about our anniversary, don't I?
Yay, you're posting again! I love the outfits you've showcased here, especially the lavender top with the yellow jacket. That's such an unexpected color combination, and it looks fabulous! Also, the blue dress is very Kate Middleton, which I love. :D
ReplyDeleteThe family bathrobe picture is too cute! You guys are adorable.
