Happy Monday Y’all!
How was your weekend? We did a tour of our new condo, but the entire place was covered in an inch of white dust from the drywall going up. So unfortunately, I didn’t get any Instastories. Hopefully next time!
We also ended up not going to the Patriots/Bears game at Soldier Field since ticket prices were still pretty high. But we did end up getting dinner with Chris’s cousin and his cousin’s girlfriend who were driving through Chicago. We haven’t seen them for over a year, so it was nice to catch up!
This weekend was pretty chilly – apparently it even snowed for a few minutes??! I used the opportunity to break out this cozy turtleneck sweater poncho (here). The front pocket is perfect for keeping your hands warm, and the turtleneck is adjustable. Since I wore it out to get deep dish pizza, I rolled the neck down an extra time so I wouldn’t get pizza sauce all over it.
This sweater works as a layering piece – you can wear a tee (short or long sleeves) underneath, or throw a vest on top. Even keep it at your desk to stay warm in a chilly office! But I’m wearing it alone, and that totally works too.
Funny side story – in college, I was at a fall football game with my friend Christina. It was actually getting really warm in the sun, and she was complaining she was hot. So our friends were like…”why don’t you take your sweatshirt off?” (She was wearing a Northwestern Wildcats hoodie). And Christina looked at us like we were really weird, and replied “Because I’m not wearing anything underneath besides my bra, duh.” Hahaha, apparently she didn’t know that most people wear a tank/or shirt underneath their sweatshirts, and had gone through her entire life wearing her sweatshirts with nothing underneath.
Christina ended up buying a Northwestern t-shirt in the stadium, and changed in the bathroom…problem solved. Haha.
Have a great rest of the day!
