[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]I[/dropcap]’m officially in the holiday spirit after spending a weekend in Chicago with Dave. I spent too much money on ornaments at the Christkindlmarket (apparently that gluhwein went to my head and my pocketbook), gawked at the city’s holiday decorations, and found this gorgeous shirt to wear throughout the season. Not a bad way to kick off the holidays, even if the weather was frustrating to pack for. I needed my winter coat for the freezing temperatures on Friday and, by the time Sunday rolled around, I barely needed a jacket to keep warm. I stuck with a suitcase full of black and grey, punctuated by these beautiful pieces from Gerard Yosca’s latest collections. The smaller scale makes them ultra wearable (the earrings are even light enough to don all day) and I suspect they’ll transition nicely to Christmas cocktail attire.

Stuff I Love
Sounds like an amazing time! I have a small addiction to purchasing ornaments as well, and always seem to think they are fabulous gifts, though I have a small suspicion that my Mom is the only recipient who actually likes them.
Love your new jewels, they are exactly something I would wear, and your commitment to cropped pants, even in freezing cold weather.
Chic on the Cheap
Love those earrings!!! I’m dying to go to Chicago sometime!
