Red, White, and Cute Dress // Polka Dot Trench // Ivory Cropped Cardigan // Pearl Bobby Pins // Red Stud Earrings // Navy Suede Heels // Pan Am Cabin Bag // Heart Polka Dot Battery Charger When Modcloth asked me to participate in their Polyvore Uniquely You Challenge, I said, “Of course!” I love creating mood boards–it’s like getting dressed with cut-out dolls! The clothing item I was given was this cute dress appropriately named the “Red, White, and Cute Dress.” I instantly knew I wanted a cream little sweater to add as a layer for warmth since it is fall and the temperatures are beginning to drop. Rain is also starting to pour, so the polka dot navy trench is a perfect top layer. I wanted to pull out a bit of the red in the dress, so these earrings match perfectly–especially incorporating similar lines to the red bordered white collar. Pearls are so on trend this fall; I would wear a messy bun made neat with all these little pearls haphazardly placed. The blue suede shoes again match perfectly with the shape of the red earrings. The Pan Am bag offers a bit of flight attendant chic. Finally, if I were actually a flight attendant, I’d want a cute and matching battery charger for those long transatlantic flights. All together, the outfit is just as the dress states: red, white, and cute!

I love creating mood boards. When I visit the whole Modcloth dress collection, I feel inspired to style more: like this floral dress is so utterly chic, or this geometric lace dress. I can’t decide which “Story of Citrus Dress” I would choose–probably a the black and white polka dot one. There are so many to choose from! But if I had to have one, I think it would be this Travelin’ Twirl Dress! It’s red and screams Hong Kong!!
