happy monday y’all! i’m kinda of excited to finally be wearing these black pearl earrings & new red bag so it’s making monday a little more tolerable. this past week was a bit chilly but i’m excited that we are back to the 70’s this week and i will be holding onto this amazing chicago weather for as long as possible.

i do have to be honest though – i’m so sad halloween weekend is over. i seriously love dressing up and we had so much fun at kelly & mitch’s house with jess & neil handing out candy to kids and relaxing. it was the perfect chill halloween i wanted – am i getting old?! either way i not only did my dia de los muertos costume i was dead set on being a deer – blame pinterest! i’m not sure what my obsession with face painting is this year but i loved it.

i’m back to my favorite – monochromatic. i love grey’s and blacks and thought it was the perfect compliment to these new gorgeous black pearl earrings and stunning red bag. it was an easy look to throw on after a long day at work in the car – yea i always change out of scrubs in the car – add a lip gloss and you are ready to go.

this bag has a cross body strap which is life changing and i love how ladylike it looks. i normally hate not having a strap on purses but i think the handle suits this style so well and the texture is divine. i also love the black twist on a pearl earrings it’s a bit more funky and easy to wear with almost anything. they are the perfect holiday gift for family and will be on my list this year for sure.

so, here’s to being refreshed and tackling this week. it’s easy to get bogged down by your never ending to do list but i’m feeling excited for this week and hope you are too!
