I attended the first KC/BB (Kansas City Blogger Brunch) with a few of my blogger pals. Ladies-who-brunch sort of screams midi skirts and a cardigan, but it was a chilly morning in KC so I opted for skinny dark denim and tall boots. To bring in the spring, I grabbed a floaty mint tee and layered on some serious statement jewelry.
I layered the super huge Courtney bib from BaubleBar under a neon orange + mint statement necklace. A little over the top, for sure, so I chose a solid-colored tee and didn’t wear competing statement earrings. A quick bracelet stack to add some more color:Â a neon orange leather wrap bracelet from Gorjana + a gold bangle.
It was a lovely event, complete with mimosas (bless!) and super cute gift bags. The Mail Chimp monkey hat was a hit with me, as you can see below.

I met some new friends and we swore an oath to meet up soon for Bloody Mary’s (PS- I’m holding all of you to this). Including my KCFW friend Jess from 26 & Not Counting, I had the pleasure of brunching with Shanley from Eat it Kansas City, Danielle from Framed Frosting, and Jen from Defining My Happy. A great way to spend a bright early spring morning in KC, for sure.
If you follow me on IG, you may have seen a flurry of macaron shots and place setting pics. The decor was too cute not to document.
A massive thank you to Alissa from The Adored Life, Jennifer from Hello Cheeseburger, and Robin from Tulip Boutique for throwing such a killer brunch.

You can make anything work, Ashley! I swear. I would only think to wear bright spring pieces like this with white bottoms like skirts and shorts, but I really like them paired with darker jeans and with what I would call “winter boots.” (Although I know that’s silly.)
You look awesome and are a style inspiration for me!
You are so adorable in the monkey beanie! Loving it!
I absolutely LOVED your outfit at the brunch…but I don’t think I ever got the chance to tell you that! haha. Also, you did a kick-ass job layering those necklaces like a pro.

looks like so much fun, we will definitely have to do another one soon because i want to meet everyone!
