I could also title this post “That Cargo Jacket I Wear Nonstop.”  Yes, another outfit with another cargo jacket. I have been reaching for it all.the.time because it works so well as an extra layer with these semi-chilly temperatures around Chicago lately. Plus, it matches with nearly everything. So there’s that.

And prior to having a baby? I loved wearing heels and wedges–shoes with some height. But nowadays? Comfort and functionality are king, coming in the form of flats and sneakers. But that’s not to say that fashion is thrown out the window…

Case in point- these sweet new kicks I scored on eBay. LOVE them. In fact, I’m working on transitioning out my work heels and “going out” shoes for flats and sneakers, and these are a nice neutral with a fun pop of color, great for spring and high on the comfort scale. (Is it wrong to plan an outfit around your shoes? Because I’ve got some ideas…)

So yes, these days I prefer sneakers over heels. And along those lines, working out over going out.  I’ll take happy hour at the barre over a bar, although a cocktail after wouldn’t be bad either.  Who’s with me?!
