Everyone told me Chicago would be cold. I just kept saying, “I know, I know. I can bare it.” Ummm. No. I realized Chicago is a type of cold I don’t understand. The wind rips right through you and you are left feeling like a delirious lost little puppy. One morning I thought this outfit above would be warm enough. After-all it was a few layers with a scarf and a hat. How much more warmth do you need? Apparently in Chi town, A LOT. I was freezing my Texas butt off! However, one thing that wasn’t in pain; my feet. I wore the daylights out of my Nike Free Run’s! Leather pants, dresses, jeans, you name it, I wore it! Seriously one of the best purchases I have made in a while!
