When I saw these faux leather overalls online, I just had to have them.They are so unique and I have never seen anything like them before. They’re actually pretty warm against this Chicago cold and the material itself is easy to move around in. I’m also happy that this sweater is in my life. It’s seriously the coziest sweater I have ever worn. It makes me sweat – it’s that cozy! If you’re always cold, like me, then you need this sweater in your life too. It’s on super sale now, so get one before they’re gone.

On a side note, can we talk about how pretty Lake Michigan looks?! It’s no Ionian Sea, but it’s beautiful. One reason I love living in Chicago is the lake – it reminds me of Greece and I just feel calm about life when I’m surrounded by water. That’s why I also chose to attend Loyola University for undergrad because the campus was on the lake. I know it sounds silly, but I just need to be close to a large body of water at all times. Even in winter, I appreciate the lake. I think appreciated the lake too much over the weekend because I’ve been battling a cold since. The weekend weather was absolutely beautiful and I went sans coat and I guess I shouldn’t have. Anyway, I’m glad it’s almost the weekend, so I can catch up on some rest!
