Cinco de Mayo Outfits

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and personally I am craving a margarita! Of course, I am going to have to wait until after I have the baby to have one, but a girl can dream! Instead on focusing on the margaritas this Cinco de Mayo, I am focusing on the Cinco de Mayo outfits. Here are a few outfit inspirations for Mexican Independence Day, aka Cinco de Mayo.

Outfit #1 for Cinco de Mayo

This Cinco de Mayo outfit is for those of us blessed with flat tummies. If you’ve got it, I say embrace it! This outfit also features one of the Pantone Spring 2013 colors, linen. This skirt will get a ton of use this spring and beyond. It really is a classic. It would look great on women with hips. I usually wear these skirts to emphasize my waist.

Carrie Diaries Season 1 Outfits

Carrie Bradshaw of the The Carrie Diaries cannot get enough of ModCloth! Carrie Diaries Season 1 Outfits keep coming from ModCloth. She has great style! Carrie recently wore a peplum from Modcloth that I wrote about last week. I also recently created my own version of The Carrie Diaries splatter bag and have been wearing it non-stop! During the season finale of The Carrie Diaries, Carrie not only wears one but three different pieces from one of my fave online shops! The first piece she wore was the Tilt-A-Twirl Dress from ModCloth.

Wedge Sneakers

The wedge sneaker trend is being seen everywhere on celebrities and bloggers alike. I’ve had a pair of red converse style wedge sneakers for roughly 10 years that I bought at Payless so I was well ahead of the curve. 😉 They have held up because I take care of them and don’t wear them that often. When I saw wedge sneakers reappear, I decided to give it another try. Once I put them on my foot, I feel in love! Right now, at 25 weeks pregnant, wearing heels is just not happening for longer than 20 minutes. The wedges sneakers allow me to gain some height in comfort.

5 Easter Outfit Ideas

Easter is my favorite fashion holiday! Spring dress and hats are the most fun things to wear for me. Wearing spring dresses, pearls, and large sunglasses actually helped me get the name April Golightly. In college, my wardrobe mostly consisted of these items. A guy in one of my classes started calling Little Miss April Golightly with the “Asian” accent from the movie. Other students started calling me that and it just stuck. I have come a long way in my taste since then, but I still adore the Holly Golightly look and dressing up for Easter.

A Pea In A Pod Maternity Shopping

I have several events coming up that I need some fancy maternity outfits for. A Pea in a Pod at Boca Town Center has an amazing selection of designer maternity duds. You can definitely find better deals out there, but if you are looking for labels, then A Pea in a Pod is the place to go. I purchased the Nicole Miller dress that I wore to the Boca Museum fashion event and the blue and green sheer top that I brought to the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference in New York. Now, that I am looking at the pictures, I might check back to see if the DVF dress is still there.
