Statement Sleeves + Eyelet Shorts

Summer-like weather has surprised us in Chicago this week and I couldn’t be happier! It’s making me so very excited for the next few months… Summertime Chi is seriously the best. Next week will be back to temps that are more typical for spring, but I’m soaking up these 85 degree days while they’re here and it’s doing wonders for my state of mind. It’s also making it a bit of a challenge to get work done because I just want to be outside sipping rosé!

I’ve been making it a point to wear shorts and/or sleeveless tops and dresses as much as possible to get some sunshine on these pasty limbs of mine. (I had remnants of a spray tan in these photos so I don’t look *that* ghostly, but trust, I do right now.)

This outfit is kind of a hodge podge of a lot of my favorite summer things, but I think it works! Statement sleeves, eyelet, espadrille sneakers, fun earrings, eye-catching sunnies, straw totes, and pom-poms, too.

I’m beyond obsessed with this bracelet I got a few weeks ago! I’ve been wearing it non-stop and have gotten so many compliments on it! (From both males and females, so you know it’s good. 👌🏼)
