Cognac-colored

Oh, yes… This random weather fluctuation situation is the Chicago that I remember oh so well… Though there’s not much more one can ask for than 80 degrees in September.

I originally bought this cognac-colored skirt to transition a few of my other pieces into fall (sweaters, blouses, etc), but I couldn’t help but bust it out despite warmer temps earlier this week. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was so versatile; it even paired with the most randomly wonderful crochet apron top — which we’ll get to.

I swear, finding shit from Tibi on sale is a skill that I need to have on my resume.

You know how you have that one brand that you stalk? Tibi is mine — and Nordstrom came through for me with this top. (Which is also available here in more sizes — it runs TTS.)

Busy week ahead of me — and one which will be spent primarily in spandex and sports bras. (I am teaching a handful of extra classes at SoulCycle this week.) During weeks such as these, I take full advantage of any excuse to dress up when I can…. Why not, right?

  1. This top is so unexpected and you couldn’t have picked a better backdrop to shoot these photos - I love the way they turned out! I’m getting back into a more regular routine this week after a roller coaster of a summer and it feels nice 🙂 Happy Tuesday, Hallie!

  2. I read this as a perfect “how-to” guide for styling apron tops! Such a cute modern silhouette, and I love that the cutouts emphasize the pop of color!
