I hate to make another one of those “beauty obsessions” posts (I’m sure you see plenty) but I’ve been trying a lot of new products lately and I haven’t done a beauty post in a while, so I thought I’d give it a go. This isn’t necessarily a summer beauty feature (these products are great now as well as year round) but because it’s July which means summer is in full swing (although that’s questionable in Chicago) it’s time to get your July beautified.
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).
When it comes to menswear, the east coast gets preppy and the west coast is very laid back (and a little more colorful) so then what about the midwest? Well we have Seth Putnam.
Remember that trivia thing I wouldn’t stop talking about? Well it happened last night…and if you weren’t there, you missed out on a really fantastic game of trivia (FOMO kicking in yet?) and if you were there, you helped raise over $2,100 for Lurie Children’s Hospital soooo that’s pretty awesome.
Anyway, I wanted to try something a little different today. This isn’t a typical event recap. This will decrease your FOMO because you can now [kind of] participate in Trivia at the Dec, or today we’re calling it Chi City Trivia.
