Weekend Casual

Just a quick post with an outfit I wore this weekend to the movies and brunch for my friend Jennesis Of Chic's birthday. We went to see Me Before You, which I though was pretty good, but a total tear jerker! I loved the way they used fashion as a defining characteristic for Louise, and that my all-time favorite Irregular Choice shoes were her signature look! I read somewhere that once they decided on Irregular Choice shoes that the rest of her quirky style just came together around that. I've been a fan of the brand since I was in high school and I own one pair of fun gingham wedges with a metallic snakeskin wedge (that somehow still haven't made an appearance on the blog! Need to change that!) so it was exciting to see them featured in a main-stream movie like that. They even had some cool shots of her shoes throughout the movie which I loved!  

This time though, I kept my own outfit pretty simple, re-wearing this pale chambray dress last seen here with lace up shoes and pink accessories. I added a few details like a gold choker necklace and vintage leaf earrings to complete an easy and modern feel. It was an absolutely beautiful day out so I walked up the East Side on my way home to catch a little sun. These shoes are pretty comfy I have to say, but I was dying by the time I'd walked about 30 blocks up the park! 

Dress: Gap (similar 1/2). Bag: French Connection. Shoes: Steve Madden via DSW. Sunglasses: AJ Morgan. Bracelets: J Crew and H&M. Bar necklace: similar. Choker necklace: similar.

My Top Picks: ModCloth

"Take a Standout Dress"

Polkadots and orange…what's not to love?! 

When I discovered ModCloth about four years ago I became an avid fan and I used to visit their site almost every day… I had a running "love list" of over 100 items at a time, and I loved to browse through their new arrivals. For some reason in the past year or so I have let my ModCloth habits slide a bit, so today I decided to spruce up my love list, since it was looking pretty empty. In the matter of one hour I managed to add about 45 stellar items to my list, and I thought I would share some of my favorites. Since ModCloth now carries so much inventory it can take a bit of picking and choosing to find the right pieces for your style. The items I am sharing with you today are all great for spring now that it's warming up and dresses are making their yearly come-back (notice how I picked so many dresses! I guess I'm a little bit excited that I can start wearing them now).

"Free and Cheer Dress"

The nautical feel of this dress combined with the lacy floral skirt is enough to make me want to click the Add to Cart button right now… With a few dainty accessories (I'm picturing light blue jewels and a cross-body bag) this dress would be so cute for lunch by the lake.

"Triple the Charm Bag"

The neutral color-blocking on this structured tote has me charmed, for any season.

"Sunny Side Up Heel"

Lemonade yellow wedges are so fun for spring and summer! And they're by one of my favorite fun shoe designers, Poetic License. These would be so cute with a swingy skirt and a glass of lemonade!

"Sunroom Soiree Dress"

Add a matching blue belt, and this dress is heavenly on a hot afternoon. I love the combination of the robin's egg blues with the coral colors in this print.

"Rockin' and Floral-in' Dress"

Isn't this dress fun!! I just love the bright oversize floral. Something abut this dress is just energizing--with a light cardigan and neutral sandals it could really brighten up a breezy spring day.

"Pop, Skip, and a Jump Flat"

This pastel blue is such a great spring color. I love wearing flats this time of year with dresses or with jeans.

I couldn't resist putting together an Easter inspired outfit with these adorable and whimsical Irregular Choice bunny shoes. I went with a whimsical pastel theme, combining a pearl embellished periwinkle top and a polkadotted chambray skirt with these Spring holiday-appropriate wedges. Add a light sweater or jacket to top it all off!
