| Jacket: Lou & Grey (on sale + 40% off!) | Sweater: Ann Taylor (very similar) | Necklace: Olive Yew | Earrings: c/o Rocksbox (love these, too!) | Skirt: MinkPink | Clutch: c/o Vera Bradley | Shoes: Ivanka Trump (similar Stuart Weitzman pumps for 35% off!) |

Well, it's another chilly day in Chicago... and since this keeps happening, layers are more important than ever! Especially if you can't wait any longer to bust out some new spring pieces (like me!). For example, I've been dying to wear this skirt ever since I bought it. Even though I have big dreams for a crop top and sandals, I paired it with a cashmere sweater and jean jacket for the Rent the Runway Opening Party a few weeks back. The colors still made me feel springy and festive, despite the temps dipping under 50! Success!

Told ya you'd see this clutch again this week ;)

I also love a good statement earring. They're the perfect way to amp up a normal outfit. I'm currently thinking about adding this pair to my collection - you can wear them multiple ways! How cool is that?!
