Today proved to be a surprising day (60 degrees in June), as far as Chicago weather goes, and I wanted to wear something appropriate for the weather and the season. I was off to my son's end of the year assembly and couldn't quite wear the Maxi dress that I picked out the night before. I wanted to be stylish but yet understated since I was going to be in a gymnasium filled with pre-schoolers, proud parents and teachers. So, I chose these great stretched denim straight legged jeans from Old Navy ($19.50) ; because they are comfortable and appropriate just in case I had to bend or get down on the floor with my little Ian. I also went a little trendy and pulled out this leophard printed shirt ($16) (leophard is all the rage this year) because it is loose fitting and allows me to move around freely. I topped the look of with a brown and blue fedora hat ($16) that I picked up at target, A light blue coat from H&M ($34 Sale Price) and these funky black corked heel sandal ($43) that I bought, on sale from Aldo. I bought everything that I am wearing on sale. If I had not, the shirt was originally ($29),The Jeans were $29, The shoes were $80 and the coat was $80. In all, the outfit would have cost $224. I paid $129!
