Forever In A Day

This weekend was my birthday, and my wonderful wonderful mom came to Chicago to visit and take us out on the town. I didn't get pictures everyday, but I'll post the ones I do have...and fill you all in on my birthday festivities!

Outfit details:
Red w/black pattern shirt: Urban Outfitters
Black & white scarf: Urban Outfitters
Bootcut jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Baker's

Where:
Art Institute, Magnificent Mile, Gold Coast, home to cook delicious dinner

My mom got in a couple of days before my birthday, so on Thursday we decided to "do up" the city. We walked a ton, but had a blast looking at great art, sipping delicious coffee, tasting scrumptious ice cream, and cooking a delightful dinner. (If you can't tell, my favorite moments are based around food.)

I also loved my outfit on Thursday...basically just a glorified jeans & t-shirt ensemble, but I felt comfortable, cute, and chic...a perfect outfit for a day in the city. Plus, the boots look just a little bit cowboy, so I felt like I was returning to my Wyoming roots.

Outfit details:
Blue tank: Target, very old
White cotton tunic: Sears
Denim miniskirt: Old Navy
Black/white/blue flats: gift, Madden Girl
Black/silver necklace: gift
Blue sweater bracelet: Old Navy
Silver ring: from Mom, originally from Crete, remixed
Blue sunglasses: Target

Where:
Outside!!!! Chicago in the sun in all its glory!

I got sooo lucky with the weather, and on Friday (my actual birthday) it was 85* and sunny...beautiful! We went to the beach, had a picnic, strolled through Old Town and sipped champagne on a patio. What luck! My favorite sushi restaurant downtown topped off the day.

My outfit on my birthday was just comfortable and casz. Perfect for a day in the sun.
