Classic in Black & White

"Me, I like to make an effort. I like nothing better than concrete reality. I'm a very down-to-earth person, but it is my job to make that earth more pleasant."

Karl Lagerfeld

Wise words of wisdom from a fashion legend! Hello everyone, and thank you for joining us this fine Thursday morning! It's been a tough few weeks dealing with illness and lousy weather, but we're moving forward and believing in the light at the end of the tunnel. Maddy just scored her first job out of college, the Blackhawks are on their way to truly securing a playoff spot, and spring is just around the corner--what more could we ask for!

We spent our three day weekend catching up on some very necessary blog posts, and are pleased to present the first fashion post of 2019. This black and white outfit is a favorite of Taylor's: a cozy, striped sweater paired with a soft vest, both found at Dry Goods USA. The top of the ensemble matches with a pair of black Lucky Brand pants, gold jewelry, leather Tory Burch riding boots, and a tote designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself. It's a comfortable yet very stylish look, and one that can last as a classic for years to come.

Hope everyone finishes the short work-week strong! Stay tuned for more fashion--and maybe wedding!--posts coming soon!
