Well, I’m back in Chicago ”stranded” home for the remainder of the week due to a few feet of snow and a couple of cancelled flights. I have a few days away from the office upon my return (whenever that may be), which I’m thankful for — it could be worse! How’s your end-of-holiday season rounding out?
Awhile back, reader Erica submitted an Instagram request asking about the simplier side of my style. That’s exactly what’s in store for my closet for the remainder of my mini-Christmas vacation. I’ll be keeping it simple, streamlined and sweet — jeans, a cozy tee and an easy pair of wedges/cute flats. And, well, probably a jacket.
Don’t worry; in the meantime, there’s always Twitter and Instagram. Happy New Year, if I don’t “talk” to you before then! Thanks again for reading and for your continuous support. It means the world to me.

Thanks girlfriend! I believe it’s half-off on the site now, just FYI

I wish I could be fearless & take my photos out on the streets like you! Love the lady in the first photo- she is totally checking out your shoes! Have a great new years!

Haha, you can! There are many photos taken in which my face registers awkwardness. i try to keep those to myself though.
Happy New year to you too Katie!

I love these photos! You are adorable!

Love the look and the very first photo is amazing!!!!

Haha I’m so glad you said that, because the first photo makes me laugh. I have developed a “f— it” attitude when it comes to taking photos around other people this year. I should probably start embedding SEO search terms like “girl who takes photos of herself downtown” in my blog.

I love simpler looks. I especially like the gray top paired with the nude wedges. I need your tips on getting over taking pics in public! Plus I want to see your setup (tripod and camera). Haha.
Erica December 27, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Woo hoo!!!! I LOVE how even your casual look is still so chic and put together. Thank you for remebering my request…you have inspired me to ‘up the ante’ on my simpler outfits

PS-I love how fearless you are taking your photos in the middle of the street! You are rocking it!

Such a cute, simple outfit. Love your “f*ck it” attitude in these pictures! So much easier said than done

I must say Miss Hallie…..I love your “simple” style! A great pair of skinnies, some really cute wedges and that great pop of color with that clutch! <3 ! One of my favorite details of this outfit is that top. It seems so simple, but then it has that great zipper detail in the back - a subtle detail that adds so much great interest!
Anyways, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas…Happy New Year…and be safe when you're finally able to get a flight home!
See you next year!
xo, Stephanie

Loving this “simple” outfit, even though it still looks glam to me! I love how you put everything together. The bright orange clutch is the best.
