For the longest time I have wanted to buy a blazer dress. I remember falling in love with the look when seeing Julia Roberts wear something similar in Pretty Woman. When it is done right, it is so chic. However, finding the right dress has been way harder than I thought. I have taken my time and have been really picky when it comes to purchasing this dress (try three years). The problem: they are either too short, too cheap (looking), or the buttons are in am awkward location. I had all but given up the search until I found this Megan Pleated Him Jacket dress from Modern Citizen. It isn’t your typical blazer dress but that makes me love it even more.

The cut is super flatter, especially for a mummy tummy. The pleat on the bottom not only adds length but also makes it very unique. I absolutely love this dress and am excited to wear it to a dinner I have this week, as well as, an event I have  next week!

The perfect travel outfit can be difficult. You want to be comfortable without looking like you crawled out of bed. You want to have pieces that are easy to get on and off. And you want layers without feeling like you are juggling too many items. Would you believe me if I said I found the perfect items to accomplish this?

Let me start with the Modern Citizen Brooke Pant. OH MY GOSH!! I posted these on my Instastory the other week and you all went nuts! These pants are like a legging but thicker so they actually look like a pant. When I wore mine my friend asked where my super cute “pants” were from? Little did she know, I was wearing a stretch type legging and in 100% comfort. They are also high waisted which makes them really comfortable for travel and also PREGNANCY! Yes, these were my favorite pants before getting pregnant and now after getting pregnant.

My next piece is this Modern Citizen Suede Moto jacket. It is a recent acquisition that has not been taken off since I unwrapped it. I was actually nervous when it arrived that it would be too stiff, too heavy, and too uncomfortable. I could not have been more wrong on all of those fronts. The jacket is super soft, very light-weight, and the most comfortable jacket I own. Oh, and it looks good with EVERYTHING! I have worn it with denim, black pants, and dresses! When I say that I have worn it 29 of the 30 days since it arrived I am not lying. I am also excited because I think it will be perfect for spring and then transition into fall when I need it to! It is so timeless and I know it will be in my closet for years to come. Worth every penny (which for a suede jacket of this quality is not very many).

This season is full of bright colors and great patterns! I have been a fan of this dress since I bought it in high school and wear it everywhere from church to the market. I love the silky, light-weight fabric as well as the classic silhouette. With mad-men making everything old, new again, finding a great vintage shift dress this summer will insure a closet staple for years to come! 
When shopping vintage find a dress with a pattern or color you love. Remember you can always have it tailored or shortened to fit your desired look so always go for the fabric. 
On another note I am typing this from London! I am staying with my boyfriends sister who is a gem for putting me up! From here I go to Stockholm and Amsterdam. I hope to be posting outfits from across the pond soon! 🙂
