“Brunch is not a meal. Brunch is a competition. And I’m winning. ” _Matt Bellasai

Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch eaten usually during the late morning to early afternoon, generally served from 11 am up to 3pm. The word is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch Brunch originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.

For me it’s a reason to dress up, eat well and slip champagne with my girls. Dressing well while having the goal of eating and drinking can be a little hard when it’s not a dinner event. Daytime fashion can have you thinking am I overdressed? Am I underdressed?

Well here’s my example of dressed up causal. The top is trending while the distress look. The skirt is encircled with knife pleats, an effortless midi skirt fashioned from blush-colored lamé gleams with molten shine and is available up to size 3x or 24w. In this Rachel Roy Pleat Lamé Skirt I’m wearing a size 2X. I could have gotten a 1X. It’s not to big because of the hidden zipping detailing. I added a patent leather belt, neutral metallic shoe and a fun bag. I’m ready for the required snapchat photoshoot or shopping after brunch.

What’s your favorite place to have brunch? Do you dress up? Do you dress down?
