FRIDAY!!!! That means it’s time for another fun Fit & Fashionable Friday Link Up! Woo!
Can you believe it’s already Memorial Day weekend? My my does the time fly (<—said in my best Jewish Grandma voice). Seriously, though, this holiday snuck up on me, but you won’t hear me complaining. Memorial Day means SUMMER, and summer means BBQS! Wondering what to wear to summer BBQs? Why not whip out that good ol’ Red, White & Blue!
Lucky me, I already have the red covered (#redheadedperks), so all I gotsta add is a little white and blue and I’m good to go for any summer shindig.
This dress gives me everything I need. White, blue, cute, comfy – boom. One and done. Add some cute yet super adorable sneakers (thank you Payless) and you’ve got one perfect BBQ/picnic/rendevous-in-the-park outfit.
Oh, and the back of this dress. Hello there, Mr. Exposed Zipper! Idk what it is, but I love exposed zippers! They make this outfit all like, “Look I’m an adorable dress, but I have an exposed zipper. So I’m kinda baller, too.”
I’ll give you the rundown on where I got everything, but first… lemme take a selfie:
Dress from Modcloth
Shoes from Payless
Bracelets: Motivate Wrap, Erica Sara, Go Sport ID
Necklace: from my mama
Sunglasses: Prada from Sunglass Hut
Iphone Case: Custom made on Zazzle (because bulldogs in bowties make everything better)
Before I head out, I just want to tease you a bit by saying you will not want to miss next week’s Fit & Fashionable Friday post. Seriously. It is going to be EPIC and there will be even more epic prizes involved. Soooo come on back now, ya hear?! (<— said in my best Southern Grandma voice… I have lots of grandma voices apparently).

Thank you! I am pleasantly surprised by how comfy they are. I bought them because they were only $12, but their one of my favorite pairs!
Wait, you are supposed to wear clothes to a summer party? But I’ve been wearing my bathing suit 24/7 just to prepare!

Thanks, Amy!
This is such a cute look! I always want to order from Modcloth, but I wonder if the dresses look as good in-person as they do online. Now I see they do!
Jerusha @CitrusSwirl.com recently posted…Pez Hedz – Finally, I Can Eat Candy Again!
I have a few dresses from there and they all fit great. The reviews are very helpful to see if most people think it’s true to size.
Love that outfit girl super cute & great for summer bbqs. I miss you girls already from Blend lol ;-). Have an awesome Memorial Day weekend!
Thanks, love! I miss all my Blend girls already, too! Let’s go back!
I love that dress! I am obsessed with maxi dresses and skirts in the summer 🙂
Stephanie recently posted…Why I Compete
Maxis are my fave!
So cute. Especially those shoes! Love. We are doing a ‘Murica theme for our wedding reception after party – so LOTS of red, white, and blue in the next two weeks! Hah.

So cute. I spend the summer in maxi dress and skirts. There’s just something about them I love.

I love maxis! They’re so comfy!
Cute! LOVE the arm candy. I’ve been loading up my wrists lately…even at the gym!
Tara @ A Daily Dose of Fit recently posted…#fitnfashionable Running Shoes: @PUMA Ignite with #PWRcool (A Shoe Review)
Love arm candy! It’s just so feminine and pretty 🙂
I could do the outfit but not the shoes from Payless. I’ve got those high maintenance feet!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home recently posted…My other love
haha I’ll come shoe shopping with you at all the fancy stores!
I love your dress! I haven’t tried ModCloth yet but always love looking at their clothes! Such a great summer bbq dress!

Thanks, Sandra! Modcloth has some good gems. They have a killer Black Friday sale. Just sayin’!
I love the dress! I need to invest in a new summer dress!
Julie recently posted…My New(er) Blends (Blend Retreat)
I need to do some summer shopping too. Let’s go!
I tend to either wear red and white or blue and white but never get all three together. Unless I’m rocking my Red Sox shirt with cutoffs 😉
My kiddo’s birthday is just before the 4th of July and she adores wearing red/white/blue outfits all year.
Kristen recently posted…Fitness Friday: Starting Superheroine Training
Hahah nice! At least your kiddo is all American 🙂
The back of the dress is great! I like dresses and tops that allow me to showcase my arms and back! And I love that your pieces are realisticall priced for the average shopper!
Angie recently posted…Eating out with Flexible Dieting
Thanks, Angie! I can’t bring myself to spend too much money on clothing I know I can get for less and that’s just as good quality.
Really cute dress!!! I always love being comfortable so flats for sure and something like this dress or a maxi will work fine for me!
Artney @ My Pretty Brown recently posted…Super Shred Week 3: Shape It Up!
Love maxi’s, too! They’re feminine but still so comfy, like you said!
Love the dress especially the back. Nicole, you look great!

You are just so cute! Love this outfit – I’m always struggling to find something to wear – it can often be a moment of melt down for me 🙂
Sam @ PancakeWarriors recently posted…Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Thanks Sam!
SuPER cute!!! Love the dress and I’ve been noticing more and more the exposed zippers, while shopping for my daughters. Would totally rock it! I’m always on the fence about summer…I love open toe shoe season but hate training in the heat! Oh well…ready or not…here it comes!!
Safari @ Tri-ing To Run Boston recently posted…Smarter Kitchen – Healthier Eating
haha I hear you on training in the heat! It’s not easy – but at least we have cute dresses and open toed shoes to reward ourselves with after, right?!
The only thing better than exposed zippers is pockets on a dress. Love this outfit 😀
