What I Wore: Fruit and Flowers

When I saw this CityChic Open Rose dress in “Fruit Salad” I just had to try it.  Summer is the time of the year to wear all the fun prints, and a dress covered in fruit and flowers is just that. Made from cotton poplin, it feels good in the warmth and doesn't cling to the body. While this print may be a bit too wacky for my workplace, I can't wait to wear it to a cookout or date night.

And what makes this dress so great?  I'm wearing my everyday bra with it!  The straps are a hair wider to keep them covered, the back is elasticized/smocked and high enough to cover everything.   Oh yeah, and it has pockets!

Because the dress is such a bold statement and I have my pop of color with my shoes, I decided to go with a pretty subtle bag. This one is from Rebecca Minkoff and it's a great size and I appreciate it's cute as a crossbody as well as on my shoulders.

Ellos recently sent me some pieces and this jacket is one of them.  Not knowing the brand well, I decided to go large with sizes and got this denim jacket in 16.  I should have gotten a 14; while it fits really well in the arms and shoulders, the body is a bit too boxy for me.

I love these platform heels from Naturalizer; I cannot believe how incredibly comfortable they are! I can wear them dancing all night and not be in pain the next morning. You can't say that about many shoes that are also this cute!

I decided to add some fun with these yellow tassel beaded earrings from Baublebar. I loved how it picked up the lemons in the print of the dress. This entire outfit is bold, happy, and so fun for summer!

  6. I bought those shoes and I’m sitting in a hotel room realizing I SHOULD HAVE PACKED THEM. Sigh. Boyfriend jeans and a linen tshirt. They would have just added something.

    Love the entire outfit.

  7. So cute! Fun and flirty.
    I recently bought some things from Ellos and every single one was huge. Some nice things, but hard to tell how they’ll fit since everything was sized so very much bigger than I expected. I would have to size down maybe twice? It was kind of weird.

    1. I had a mixed bag… literally. They were kind enough to send me a good selection of pieces and some I LOVED, some were a bit off in sizing. The cool thing is they really wanted this kind of feedback, they’re working on mastering the fit so hearing this kind of stuff will help them get better.

  11. I’ve always loved the blue jean jacket paired with a dress and this look is perfect.The print on your dress says spring is here and summer’s not far away. You’ve reminded me that I should bring my denim jacket out and wear it with my sleeveless dresses after Memorial Day when we dress casual at work. In the meantime, I am so looking forward to seeing you in person tonight at Gwynnie Bees in NYC!
