This weekend was so humid that I figured this flimsy silk dress would be comfortable a the hot, sticky day. It didn’t really help much and we ducked back into the air conditioning shortly after snapping these photos, but at least I had the chance to break out my new shoes for a little bit! I’m such a fan of flats that a pair of heels has to be really good for me to stray from my sartorial comfort zone (quite literally in this case). These are fabulous. I had to go up a half size in them as I do with any Rebecca Minkoff shoe, despite the fact that I’m a solid size 7 in everything else, and the three-inch block heel is incredibly comfortable.
Oh! And completely unrelated, I learned to kayak this weekend at Dave’s parents’ cabin in central Wisconsin. I took to it quickly, which is a surprise given that I’m not athletic in the least!

It was 60 degrees in Madison yesterday, which is unheard of for the middle of November. It was likely the last time I could go sans tights this year and I fully embraced it with a windowpane-print mini. (I wasn’t kidding when I admitted to being obsessed with windowpane this year. You can find another outfit with the print here and here.)
We’re heading to Chicago later this week for the opening weekend of the Christkindlmarket. It’s becoming our annual tradition to overspend on Christmas ornaments and mulled wine in the Windy City before the holiday season is fully underway. Honestly, I take trips to Chicago for granted. It only takes about three hours to get there from Madison, so I don’t always consider it a special getaway. That’s changing this time with a full itinerary, which includes the Lincoln Park Zoo to see the baby red pandas (squee!), the Willis Tower Skydeck (I haven’t been to the building since it was named the Sears Tower and there weren’t glass-bottom observation decks), the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, and plenty of beer-related stops at bars and breweries. Dave also came across a jewelry exhibit at The Driehaus Museum that I’m obviously very excited to visit. I’ll be Snapchatting my way through the city at bedknobsbaubles.
In other news, there’s only one week left to enter to win a sterling silver necklace from the Maps by A.Jaffe collection. A meaningful location personalizes the piece and a tiny diamond marks the sentimental spot.
