Festive Friday: Chic Street Festival Look

Happy Friday all! If you live in Chicago, you know that weekends between May and August mean street festivals!  I'm a huge fan of street festivals because they give you the opportunity to visit neighborhoods you might not otherwise, try new food and listen to some good music, all in the great outdoors (and hopefully, sunshine).
 
This is an outfit I bought over the weekend at the Splendid outlet which also carries Ella Moss.  These fun trousers are perfect for early summer - lightweight, colorful and comfortable.  While I like the blouse on the model, I went with the blue tank on the brunette model to avoid too much white (I am certain to spill something on myself at a street festival!).  I like that the teal-blue tank doesn't perfectly match the royal blue color in the trousers. These Dolce Vita wedges dress up the outfit a bit in my opinion, but the gladiator sandals work too!

I have been coveting this blush Chloe bag - I think it'll be awhile before I can pull the trigger, but for now, I'll just drool over it.

Have a wonderful weekend! Let me know what festivals you're looking forward to this summer.

xo, Jen

Memorial Day Weekend Sale Scores for Work

I know it's the Wednesday after Memorial Day now, but I wanted to share a few of the items I picked up this weekend on a deep discount.  While I'm not normally a fan of button-downs, this classic sleeveless number from Banana Republic Factory fit me perfectly and was great for the weather today (I brought an old cream cardigan with me to work because my office is always freezing, brrrr!).  It also pairs nicely with the Banana Republic Navy Sloan-Fit Ankle Pants which were 50% off.  My nude Cole Haan Wedges I bought at the outlet this time last year (my favorite pumps by far, very comfortable and stylish) rounded out this outfit nicely.

I also scored the kate spade Sawyer Street Alair 75% off ($150!).  It is a very large bag, which is perfect for me.  I can fit my work shoes, lunch bag, wallet, keys, and the kitchen sink (kidding...although it feels that way sometimes).  Everything fits without making the bag bulky, and the leather is super soft.

The jewelry pictured are all pieces I've had for quite some time and wear regularly so I just thought I'd share them with you as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

xo, Jen
