My Refinery29 Style Feature: Outfit Details and Behind-The-Scenes Photos
With 2012 in full swing, I had to take time to reflect on one of the best moments in 2011, both personally and for ChiTown Fashionista.
When my Refinery29 feature posted in November, I immediately took to Twitter and Facebook proclaiming my feelings of both gratitude and honor. Throughout the year, I had received a few mentions on the website but this was my first independent feature. AND it involved a photo shoot!
The experience was amazing and certainly unforgettable. Pulling together looks for the photo shoot was a bit nerve wracking. Knowing that the photos would be on Refinery29 (you know, the best online source for the latest style, shopping and fashion trends) meant that I had to properly represent ChiTown Fashionista and ensure that I did not disappoint my readers. But once the outfits were squared away, it was time for the fun part!
Here are a few behind-the-scenes photos just to give you a sneak peek into how the day went...
faux fur scarf - ASOS (similar here) | shirt - JC Penney | skirt - Marshalls | belt - J. Crew | bag - m0851
sweater - ASOS | skirt - Talbots | shoes - TJ Maxx | handbag - Juicy Couture | earrings - DRAPES by Ashley Scott
sunglasses - Labrabbit Optics
blouse - ASOS | skirt - NY&Co | shoes - Marni | necklace - Jessie Adore
fur wrap - TJ Maxx | blazer - ASOS | shirt - Target | button covers - vintage (from my mom) | skinny jeans - Torrid
shoes - Free Press | briefcase - Hester van Eeghen (from Randolph Market) | eyeglasses - Labrabbit Optics
Sidenote: Afterwards, it dawned on me that every outfit had at least one item from ASOS. Clearly, I have somewhat of an obsession with them.

Thanks to Refinery29 Chicago editor Shani Silver for the opportunity, Devin Mays for the amazing photos, and Maya-Camille Broussard for her creative input.
Most of all thanks to YOU, my readers, for being so supportive and helping to make 2011 the best year yet for ChiTown Fashionista! I look forward to an even better 2012..and possibly more outfit posts.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
