Not the best of what the city has to offer – because there were certainly highlights not included below – but this is the best of my four days in the Windy City. However, it is only the people shots. I have gorgeous photos from our bike tour along the lakefront Trial as well as our architectural boat tour – which you can see on Instagram here and here – but those are not for today.
As you may recall I have been to Chicago before but my two previous trips were in Winter 2013 where I barely saw anything as I was curled up hiding from the wind and freezing tempeartures. Thankfully this timw e had near perfect weather. But enough about that, today’s post is not about the city but instead features pictures with my friends and family, with brief captions underneath, and then at the bottom all of the things that I packed and wore on this charming Chicago trip:
He’s my forever wedding date (at the Lincoln Park Zoo)
Travel Style for the 9-hour flights to and from Chicago
Drinks on the Navy Pier with our best-man and my brother
Getting ready for the shot on the 103rd floor of the former Sears Tower hanging out in the clear observation box.
A stop at the famous Travel Blogger at Chicago Landmark Buckingham Fountain during our very long bike tour

As I mentioned, see below for a carousel of what I wore. It is all click to shop but my favorites are this Blooming Jelly Asymmetrical Floral Maxi Dress I wore to the sky deck roof and this floral print playsuit from brunch on Sunday (you can see the shorts in the shot above).
Thank you everyone for making that such a charming Chicago weekend!

As usual you pack a lot of fun things into your quick weekend getaways. I really like you and that pink dress. Stunning.

Welcome back home to the USA. Glad to see you had a great time in Chicago. Navy pier and the Sears Tower is a must. Boyfriend wants to go to Chicago next March if there is a St Patrick’s Day parade. He want to see the Chicago River Dyed Green. Love the picture of you at the top of the Sears Tower.
