Frozen

It's absolutely FREEZING in Chicago and I had no business wearing the below outfit to dinner (even with the winter coat I had to wear over this). My boyfriend snapped one photo before we were dying and had to run to the car. Photobucket
Leather Jacket-ASOS (here)/Tee-Forever21/Skirt-c/o Lane Bryant (here)/Jewelry-c/o Gorjana Griffin (necklace here, earrings here) /Shoes-Louboutin

Between the Chicago weather and being busy decorating my new apartment, I really haven't been going out much, which explains my lack of recent outfit posts. Usually I'm inside cuddled under the covers in my PJs... I don't know, I've always felt weird about bloggers who get dressed for the sole purpose of taking outfit pictures. Though I'm guilty of having done it a few times, I don't want to make it a regular thing...but then my blog doesn't get updated for awhile. I don't think you guys want to see me in sweat pants in a messy house, you know?

I'm wearing 'Flamenco' lipstick from Radiant Cosmetics, a company dedicated to raising awareness about Human Trafficking. They donate 20% of each sale to anti-trafficking organizations. Read more at their site.

  6. Your skirt is gorgeous! It's freezing where I am too (windy with ice on the ground) so I can sympathize - but I'm glad you got that photo so we could see your outfit! I love Lane Bryant. Your hair looks lovely. I like the earrings and necklace in the other photo. Sweat pants aren't that bad of a look. I'm wearing some now in my messy house in front of a heater :)

  7. It's cold over here in the N-Y-C too. I'm with you on the dressing just to pose for pics. I love that your pics are of what you actually wear out (gives credence to the outfit...i.e. "she is Michael Jackson BAD, rocking those shoes ALL day and still looking hot)! :)

  9. I'm getting cold just looking at you here. Still, I promise you it's colder where I am, otherwise I can promise you that outfit wouldn't have made it out the door.

  14. I live in Chicago as well and I just shivered looking at this knowing exactly what you are feeling. I have to dress up for work everyday, (sales associate at Nordstrom) and tights aren't getting the job so I know your bare legs are DYING. Adorable outfit though.

  16. You wont believe it, but i just found out your blog written in a brazilian fashion magazine, where you wore that stripped bikinis. And I thought to myself "Man, this girl's got the style!".
    Just stopping by to say I loved your blog and your outfits!
    Be glad, you've just got an international fan, lol.
    Xo,

  17. You are CRAZY! I don't know how anyone could have enough guts to wear a skirt this week in Chicago! My fingers have been getting tingly just walking the two blocks home from the train and I have been wearing jeans, leggings under my jeans, a tank top, sweatshirt, hoodie, gloves, hat, and my hood up on my coat AND hoodie (for those counting, that is two layers on my legs, three layers on my head, and four layers on my torso).

    On a completely unrelated note, have you ever been to a Brazilian steakhouse? There are three in Chicago. It is a yummy, fun experience.

  18. I love those tiny yet so cute jewelleries!
    I do not know how you managed to wear a skirt with no tights in such temperatures :-)))

    you look very beautiful and happy

    Love, Ylenia from Longuette

  21. Love the look - especially the skirt and the shoes!! I'm a blogger who DOES get dressed for the sole purpose of taking blog photos. My reasoning for this being that I work full-time during the day and by the time I'm done work, its already dark outside. So essentially, the weekends are my only chance (when its not pouring rain) to take advantage of the day light needed to take outfit shots. I also find that with my line of work, the outfits I care to share on my blog are not ones permitted for me to wear to work.

    You helped inspire me to start posting outfit posts of myself on my blog. Prior to that, I was sharing images of things that I liked, but avoided sharing images of myself like the plague! Thank you for helping to give me that confidence that I needed.

  22. Going through a similar "drought" right now. Although my blog traffic or follower count doesn't nearly match yours' magnitude, the cold had absolutely stifled most of my outfit post.

    Stay Warm Gabi

  24. Gabi,

    What do you think of that ASOS leather jacket? I thought the leather was incredibly cheap, though I loved the cut/fit.

    I too give a side-eye to the dressing up just for blog photos, but life gets chaotic at times...

  25. I love the whole look Gabi, amazing :)
