Shirt-dressin
Dress: c/o Akira | Coat: DKNY (very similar version) | Sunglasses: Burberry c/o Endless Eyewear | Bow: Forever 21 | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Shoes: Vince via Nordstrom Rack

Like everyone else in Chicago, I’ve been loving this super mild fall. Even when it isn’t 70 degrees, we haven’t dipped much below 50 yet – I mean, best Fall EVER?
My favorite part about this weather? You can mix bare legs with wool coats, and open toed sandals with your new fall outfits! I found the Vince sandals in this post on a random trip to Nordstrom Rack. I mean… when Vince shoes are marked down to over 75% off, you have to buy them, riiiight?!
I also love shirt dresses– especially they’re super affordable, like this one from Akira. This one happens to be pretty short (which is good for me because I’m a shrimp) but if you’re taller, this dress would still work with opaque tights or leggings. I already know that I’ll be wearing it with tights and boots all winter!
Oh! And you can score 15% off your purchase at Akira with code LAKESHORELADY until November 30th! Oh yea, stock up, ladies!
Big thanks to Arin from Heart of Chic for these photos!

You look so great, Lauren! I love that you're busting out the bows already, too! I'm hoping I can still pull mine off this season since my hair is significantly shorter.
