#winterfashionstaples #lemon8challenge Winter outfit at Lýra in Chicago’s Fulton Market ❄️✨

You already know I’m gonna mix affordable pieces and still give luxe.

My whole fit is from Discovery, and this long black coat?

A second-hand store find that turned into my favorite winter staple.

Cozy joggers on the bottom, heels to elevate it, and a faux-fur wrap for texture.

Quiet luxury… but on a budget 😌🖤

And since we’re here — let’s talk about Lýra.

It’s a modern Greek restaurant inspired by the Greek islands, known for wood + charcoal flavors and a super warm vibe.

We had the lamb and it was outstanding — a real 10/10.

Definitely recommend if you’re in the West Loop area.

Perfect date night or girls’ night spot.

Would you rock this cozy-dressy winter look? And have you been to Lýra yet?
