Weekend Style

Here at PLSR we naturally gravitate towards a lighter colored wardrobe so this post might come as a surprise. However once we saw this blouse we knew we had to have it. It’s incredibly well made & absolutely gorgeous in person. It’s made by one of our favorite brands, Stone Cold Fox, right here in the USA. […]

Pink & Plaid

Winters in Chicago are pretty grey & somehow my wardrobe seems to mimic that during cooler seasons. So earlier this month when I escaped the in-between temps in Chicago for New Orleans (full recap coming soon!) I decided I needed to add some color to my typical uniform. The sweater dress (also seen here) is one I’ve practically lived in […]

Spring

With the warmer temperatures slowly but surely approaching it’s time to break out those spring pieces you’ve been itching to wear. By opting for a layered look you’re guaranteed comfort despite any weather mishaps that may spontaneously occur (& boy do they occur here in Chicago!). This t-shirt from T by Alexander Wang is beyond comfortable & the perfect piece […]

Oversized

Some of my favorite pieces I own don’t come from the standard woman’s department. I’m a sucker for anything oversized (comfort is key!) so I often turn towards the men’s department for cozy knits or the larger sizes as I did with this outfit. I had been searching near & far for a cute sweater […]

Light Layers

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but neutrals are my go-to lately. I’ve been living in them as well as these pink Hunter boots which add a little something to the otherwise colorless outfit. People have constantly been asking about which boots are best for winter & I strongly recommend Hunter rain boots. They’re weatherproof which is essential this time […]

Currently Craving

Lately I’ve found myself gravitating towards everything neutral. Maybe it’s as I’m getting older I’m starting to actually build a wardrobe instead of just buying in the moment. Or maybe it’s this more so than usual confusing weather that’s throwing me off. Either way, I don’t hate it. This cozy sweater from H&M immediately caught my eye as […]

Winter Whites

I’ve never been one to follow the whole, “no white after Labor Day” thing. I guess when 3/4 of your closet is white clothing you really don’t have a choice but to break that rule. By pairing my white jeans with cooler tones (grey, blue, & beige) they can easily transitions from a summertime staple to a year-round essential. […]

Christmas Pajamas

It’s been a tradition for as long as I can remember for my family to all wear Christmas jammies & have a sleepover on Christmas Eve. Believe it or not, the tradition has gotten better & better each year, regardless of our age. We eat an incredible dinner, get in pajamas, turn on a movie, […]
