Sew Cute: OOTD: Shopping in Chicago

The day after my birthday Cassidy and I went downtown Chicago to go shopping. I was very disappointed though because Vineyard Vines on Michigan Ave close, which was the store I wanted to go to the most. However, we still had a very good shopping day. I got a few things at Topshop that were pretty good deals then I scored a lot of good stuff at J Crew for 50% off. J Crew at 50% off is my favorite kind of J Crew. I mean who passes up $10 chino shorts? No one.

Here we are with all of our bags after we ate dinner!

Our two main stops on our shopping trip.

Here is my super yummy dessert I ate at Volare. Volare is an Italian restaurant a little bit off Michigan Avenue. If you are ever in the city you NEED to try it! It is way better then any place you will find near all of the tourist attractions!

For my outfit I kept things pretty casual and comfortable because I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. I first wore a fun pair of striped shorts. They are super light and give off a nautical vibe. My shirt is just a plain white pocket tee with a fun sequin pineapple on the pocket. I kept my necklace simple because I didn't want to distract from the embellished pocket. So I wore my tortoise shell monogram necklace. For other jewelry I wore big rhinestone earrings (a birthday gift), Alex and Ani bangles, a Kate Spade bracelet, and my signature watch. My shoes are probably the most exciting part of the outfit because I have been wanting them for so long! They are a pair of gold Jack Rogers and I am obsessed. Then I am carrying a black small Longchamp tote (also a birthday gift).
