What I Wore | Minimal Mod

WhatIWore: This is normally the time of year when I unpack my vintage or retro style dresses with natural waists and full skirts. Unfortunately those aren’t going to cut it this spring and summer for me, so I’ve turned my eyes to straight shift dresses like this one. If I think of it as a little bit mid 60s mod, I can wrap my head around it better. Truth be told, I immediately belted this dress this morning and only took if off when my husband said “it looks sort of mod 60s without it” (go Adam with your fashion history knowledge!!). So no belt and a straight minimal mod shift shape it is…

What I Wore | Peppermint Patty

WhatIWore: Over the weekend I took on a huge task - switching out all of my winter clothes in favor of springy things in my wardrobe. Lucky… I had a few green things including this mint colored sweater. Don’t pinch me! My last name is Irish!

Where: Studio, Lunch at the Irish Lion

Why: St. Patrick’s Day has always been one of my favorite days of the year. Our college town empties out for Spring Break and in past years it’s been warm enough for a Guinness on the patio of the Irish Lion, a local favorite pub.  No beer for me this year, but I am looking forward to some Irish stew on this extra chilly day.

Did you know Quirk is an Irish surname? It comes from a Gaelic word for 'heart’ which is rather fitting for mid March because it was five years ago this week (we were so head over heels we don’t remember the exact day) that Adam and I met and fell in love.
