As I stated on my Instagram account on Saturday (which you should follow if you don't already #shamelesspromo), I am starting a #wiw - what I wore series on here! I'm in love with the idea of blending travel and fashion because we all need some inspiration on what to pack or to wear for specific places/events right? I figured there was no better place to start then an outfit for a little holiday day date in Chicago!

This past weekend my family, Caleb and myself ventured downtown to the Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza. SIDE BAR: This holiday event is insane and I'm not quite sure I'd recommend it. Find out who the vendors are and go straight to their websites or stores instead. It was a total madhouse there. We were there for less then an hour and about 40 minutes of that less than an hour was spent trying to walk through the crowds and find each other. #notcool. Anways, it has been oddly warm in Chicago the last couple weeks so I was able to go sans scarf and open jacket this weekend! I still wore my cozy socks and Bean books though because 1. they are so comfortable to walk in and 2. this would be the norm for a December day date in Chicago. I added a little holiday cheer with my favorite green sweater and my favorite pearl necklace! The key to day dates in Chicago in the winter are warmth and comfort. A sweater and boots are always my go to when spending a full day in downtown Chicago!
