Jumping for joy...

because I'm the modcloth's blogger of the moment!!
That's what I've been dying to tell you! I was making grilled cheese and checking my email on my phone when I got the news. I immediately called my mom since Kevin was at work. I said "Mom, I know you don't know what this means but Modcloth wants me to be blogger of the moment!!!" and she responds "Oh, Kaylah, that's so awesome! I'm so happy so you" there's a brief pause and she says "Modcloth is that girl that makes those hoodies you like, right?" Hahaha. She was mistaking Modcloth for Mungo Crafts. (She's so cute, I could tell you funny mom stories for days!)
The details:
hat - thrifted
belt - thrifted
shoes - c/o of ModCloth

I couldn't be more in love with my (errr, Squid's) namesake dress. The perfectly obnoxious buttons, red trim and peter pan collar are so charming. Plus 3/4 length sleeves are totally my favorite, I think they're so much more flattering than any other cut. The dress also comes with a sash to be used as a belt but I took it off and tied it around my hat instead.
You can find my interview with modcloth, as well as some other ways to style the dress (ps. it comes in two colorways) and my top picks from modcloth here.
