Monday #ootd definitely looks like a person who would (and did) make this magazine-worthy soup last night.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday #ootd. Still miffed about the cool weather but at least it’s starting to creep up?

There pink bandana really makes the entire outfit today.

Another cold and rainy day in beautiful Chicago. 😑 I opted for resigned comfort for today’s #OOTD. I threw a bag on it to make it a little more interesting even though I’m not going anywhere. 😂

Tuesday’s outfit never set foot outside because it rained all day and fuck that.

I like today’s outfit better in real life than in the photo, it’s just simple and easy. Breakfast featuring the “B” mug I found at the garage sales yesterday.

Today’s outfit was assembled for going to the community garage sale in Ravenswood Manor. Very crowded, but tons to see!

Forgot to post this earlier, but I love this one. A bit funkier than my weekday looks and super comfortable for walking around. Also, if you’re on Instagram, you should follow me there: becky.in.chicago

Today’s #OOTD is taking full advantage of Chicago’s summer temps while we have them.

From today’s walk, before the storms rolled through Chicago.

Today’s #OOTD is ecstatic that we finally have a day that feels like summer, and the kitties just want to stay close.

The whole point of studying literature (English or not) is that it teaches you how to read between the lines, find the subtext, find what’s not being said, call it out and argue with it. In other words, media literacy.

The fog that rolls in off the lake is one of my absolute favorite things about spring in Chicago.

Wednesday outfit plus cat.

Today’s #OOTD is for the cats. I found this shirt in Paris last year. ❤️

Monday’s #OOTD is honestly just comfortable after a lovely but exhausting weekend with my family. The kitties are relieved that I’m home, and I’m relieved that the sun is shining with an expected high of 67°.

I see that the regime is wholly unfamiliar with the story of the Trojan Horse.

Outfit for Mother’s Day lunch. My mom, my sister and I all showed up in denim jackets. 😂

Dammit SNL, it’s Chicago pope week, you had ONE JOB tonight and all we got was a double doink. I was very amused, however, by my mother grumping with exasperation that she’s “never even HEARD of Arcade Fire!” 😂

Today’s #ootd is ready for my niece’s track sectional. Yellow for her school colors, and layers because we expected the day to start off cool before warming up. She qualified for state with one of her relays!

I have gone from knowing next to nothing about fashion to passing a mom on the street and instantly recognizing the brand and style of her trench-coat in a fairly short period of time, and I’ve got to admit, this level of awareness is very weird. (If you’re curious It was Sézane’s Clyde trench.)

How's Donald Trump recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month? By cutting services for our veterans, for students, and for our most vulnerable. Make it make sense.

Friday #OOTD and cats.

Hey, @pbump.com! I made you a chart!

Extending an official invite to Chicago's own Pope Leo the XIV to host a screening of BLUES BROTHERS

We need a live feed of the Wiener's Circle now for when they put up the inevitable sign

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.

DEEP DISH COMMUNION WAFERS

Chicago pope thoughts, as a Chicago Catholic: (thread) Which street will City Council go to war over to give it a ridiculously long renaming?

Thursday’s #OOTD is a giant sigh at Chicago’s unusually cool spring weather. Bonus pic of Daisy “asking permission” to get into my lap.

Lake Michigan was wild today. That mist blowing off the waves! 😱 #Chicago

I’ve got a live feed of the Vatican chimney on in the background as I work this afternoon and there’s a guy chattering away in French somewhere close to the camera and I’m picking up on words I know here and there, which I take as a win. Je connais un peu français! 🥰

Wednesday’s #OOTD plus two cats.

Okay, but have you seen how pretty Chicago is right now?

When I was 4, before I’d even started kindergarten, to the complete shock of the adults in my life, I pulled a book a shelf and started reading it. How? Sesame Street had taught me enough that my 4-year-old brain put it together and BOOM, I was reading. Sesame Street literally taught me to read.

Today’s #OOTD is hopeful that we may see the 70s this afternoon.

Goodnight, skyline.

Prediction: There will be no tariffs on movies (how would you even do that?), but threatening them creates a very desirable chaos and pressures California to give Trump something that he wants. What that is is TBD, but it’s just an old fashioned shakedown, Trump SOP.

How Monday is going so far: #ootd

My take on Trump’s stupid pope trolling is that I’m glad it happened because it’s a good thing for a bunch of cardinals to be thinking “Yeah, that guy can go fuck himself” as they head into this conclave.

Big day for taking pictures of food. I eat pretty damn well.

I was there!

The happiest sound in my house is the kitties thundering through on a chase. 🥰

More Chicago spam. Tulips for days, still fucking cold.

Sunday morning breakfast, #OOTD, and kitties enjoying a taste of Chicago’s cool spring air in a sunny window.

The kitties got a new paper bag today and are having the time of their lives.

Chicago was totally showing off today, but honestly warm TF up already, I’ve had enough of this sub 50° nonsense.
