Happy Friday, everyone! First of, don’t be fooled by these pictures. It looks sunny out, and there’s absolutely no snow on the ground – but let me tell you: It was freezing outside! We took these pictures really quick, and we literally jumped back into the car to get some coffee from Starbucks to warm us up afterwards. I mean, it’s brutal. It seems the cold bites into my bones which leaves my whole body sore – I’m not even kidding. It’s that bad. So, here you have it: The life of a fashion blogger. My husband thinks it’s pretty hilarious even though he’s out with me shooting.

But let’s get back to fashion. This coat is a lifesaver. It keeps you warm without looking like a good old duster. I’ve paired it with some faux leather leggings and my favorite red booties (which are under $40!). They make such a great statement, don’t you agree?

How do you stay warm during winter?

As always, thanks so much for visiting & have a great weekend!

Much love.

Fashion Finds Under $50

Fashion Finds Under $50_What Would V Wear_2

I’m excited to share my “Fashion Finds Under $50” with you all today! From now on you will find every Wednesday fabulous fashions for UNDER $50 on What Would V Wear. Highlighting chic, trendy pieces that won’t break your bank is almost essential, don’t think? I must admit: Online shopping is a critical part of my daily routine especially as a blogger. In fact, a blogger’s day ins’t complete without browsing your favorite online stores, however, I’m always on the lookout for great deals! So, I thought: Why not share them with you as well?

Lucky for you, I scored nine (9) fabulous finds of some of my favorite online places to shop — all $50 or under. Hopefully, you’ll love these goodies as much as I do, and guess what? You can shop them guilt-free! If not, maybe you can add some of the stores your personal online arsenal. And to those who say web shopping isn’t the same as actual brick-and-mortar retail therapy, well, I simply disagree with you. How can you possibly say “No” to these steals?

Happy shopping!

The only thing consistent about denim is that it will always be on trend, and the one thing I’ve learned about denim is that they no two jeans are ever alike.

Collaborating with Red Malt Denim, a local Chicago company who started back in 2011 with a vision to create quality custom-fit jeans was beyond fun. I finally found a local brand that embodies American manufacturing and addresses its customers individual fit. The pair of denim I’m wearing it tailored exactly to my body size, and I must admit: I’m smitten. There’s no better way to show off your favorite heels than with a pair of denim.

And speaking of collaborations: Nothing brings me more joy than supporting other local entrepreneurs. As an entrepreneur myself I can only hope that our community understands the importance of supporting one another. Going after your dreams does not only require confidence, hard work and persistance but frankly a great support system as well.

As always, thanks so much reading & have a wonderful Tuesday!

See you back here on Wednesday with some of my favorite fashions for UNDER $50!

Much love.

Winter Whites

A monochrome white outfit will instantly elongate your look. I’ve been a fan of winter whites for as long as I can remember. Winter whites provide a perfect, fashionable look to get me through Chicago’s blustery winters, always. I honestly believe that even though the temperature has plummeted doesn’t mean you have to let your fashion game drop too. I’m all about experimenting and playing with fashion.

For today’s post I wanted to to create something timeless and classic, and what is more sophisticated and classic then a pair of white pants and a chic white blazer? Some people call this trend, i.e. look somewhat ‘brave’ but I love this sophisticated look. If you want to break up this monochrome look I would recommend adding some bold accessories or luxe gold accessories. White is so versatile, so don’t be afraid to add boldness to your outfit. I will certainly do so as it gets a little warmer! I can totally see me wearing this look with some bright heels and some subtle gold jewelry.

How about you? Let me know by commenting below!

As always, thanks so much for reading and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for a new outfit post! From now on I will be posting every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!

Much love.

Winter Fashion

Winter Fashion_Wool Coat_Blanket Scarf_What Would V Wear

I won’t lie: Winter in Chicago ~~can be~~ is rough. I’ve lived in Chicago for about 10 years and I’m still not accustomed to below zero digits, however, there’s something beautiful seeing the snow fall soundlessly to the ground; it’s almost like our world turns into a snow globe.

We took these pictures at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and as my family and I were strolling through the garden I thought to myself: “How magical the garden looks – being covered in this endless, heavy blanket of snow.” It’s beautiful, and yet it’s very deceiving. As pretty as it looks – we were weren’t able to stay for very long because, simply put, we froze to death.

Shop my look below – to keep you looking cute and staying warm all season long!

PS: Starting next I will officially start posting 4 times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday). So, be sure to come visit for new exiting content!

As always, thanks much for reading and have a fabulous weekend!

Much love.
