I was saving Janet’s photo, which I took in mid-March, for a post about how much I love warm weather. Unfortunately, it’s still freezing here in Chicago. I know I always say I like cold weather but like most of you I’m sick of it by now. I want it to be warm, and to see people walking around Chicago in cute little sundresses and the like! That’s why I decided to throw this photo up just to get everyone excited about the impending summer months. Despite the cold temperatures outside today, sunny days are just around the corner.

As I said on Twitter yesterday (@ChiStreetStyle) my inspiration for the TopShop party I co-hosted last night on behalf of CS Chicago Social Magazine was a candy raver circa 1994. I love making obscure or out-of-place references with my looks, because I want to have fun with fashion. I hate it when people are stuffy about how they look. Obnoxious amounts of neon clothes and jewelry were all it took, and everything but the earrings (Tom Binns) and shoes (Louboutins) are from TopShop! I adore the silhouette of the pink dress juxtaposed with the easygoing vibe of the open-weave sweater. I felt like myself in this outfit, which is strange because there are few things I despise more than wearing heels. Although my friend Alli playfully teased me last night that not only do they have super-comfortable foot petals I put in them, they’re less than 3 inches tall. I know I’m pathetic. I don’t have heel walking endurance, ok!? Even when I dress up I try to keep things down to earth, but sometimes a girl’s just gotta wear heels.
So I better see your beautiful faces there! To confirm your attendance, shoot an email to rsvpchicago@modernluxury.com.
