If we're going to spend a good chunk of hard-earned money on something, we want to know it's going to someone deserving, right? Enter the masses of talented and local Chicago-based fashion designers, each one to-the-brim with handmade style and determined to make our city--and the world, really--gorgeous on a modest budget.

And now enter stories about wearing an ill-fitting and visually horrific outfit to a trunk show showcasing one of the aforementioned designers, and how my mom almost ripped my arm out of the socket when she first saw a local designer's frocks at a bridal show last year. (My pain was dulled by my similar adoration for the dresses, thanks for asking.)
That's right, kidlets...I've been guest posting about local fashion over at the Sweetchic Events blog! Check out new installments every Wednesday and don't feel guilty about lovin' on every single picture you see. They're handmade and local. And they all have POCKETS. Only the best of the best, baby.
