Dr. Jennifer Hobbs is originally from Chicago but has been in Memphis for about two years.
We ran into her at the Brooks on a day when it was blistering cold to native Memphians, like hide-in-a-blanket-in-front-of-a-fire kind of weather, but to a native Chicagoan, it probably felt like, well, spring.
“I get excited when it gets cold because I can wear my boots,” she says.

I liked how she was rocking this lovely eggplant coat with a simple cotton scarf from Banana Republic. Purple isn’t an easy color to wear, but Jennifer is doing it with aplomb.
She says she needed a new winter jacket and recently ordered this one online in a winter coat clearance sale.
“I probably wouldn’t be able to wear it in Chicago right now, but it works fine here,” she says.
