When it comes to jewelry, I have my phases. Sometimes I’ll be really into statement necklaces or big rings but right now (and by right now I mean for the past year or so) I’ve been doing the dainty thing — stacking lots of smaller jewelry instead of focusing on one or two larger pieces. I’m all for a statement, don’t get me wrong, but you’d be surprised how practical this kind of jewelry is for this time of year…
To Invest Or Not To Invest…that is the real question, and the answer is not as easy as one might think. Everyone says “splurge on black pumps a nice blazer, save on trendy items” but of course fashion likes to be difficult and you have to read between the lines. If we actually followed the typical investment rule, no one would be spending $700 on wedge sneakers (and yes I will continue to hate on this trend as long as I have to…and I will not apologize).
So what items should we put a decent amount of money towards? Think of me as your fashion financial advisor (except one who is really bad at math and happens to have expensive taste).
Due to my extreme frustration with the recent weather (can anyone in Chicago remember the last day we did NOT have rain? I didn’t think so), I thought I’d channel this into something helpful. When it rains, we all seem to either give up on how we look or just ruin our outfits. Neither one is fun so I’m going to turn something bad (daily storms that occur when you least expect it so you better have an umbrella at ALL times) into something good (an excuse to go shopping).
I mentioned last week I have a lot to say in the summer essentials category…and I wasn’t kidding. Yes, it’s about leather shorts, printed shorts suits, white clutches, crop tops, cut-out oxfords and statement sunglasses, but we can’t forget about…
I started ChiCityFashion for many reasons, but one of them was to discuss fashion-related topics that I like. Today I’m trying something a little more challenging…discussing a category I’m not too fond of (but is anyone really?)
Let’s talk about swimwear…
