While getting ready for my first brunch date of this spring with a few of my blogger boos in fashion I got to thinking.  What’s the foundation for a great spring brunch look?  What does it take to look fashionable yet comfortable?  How many steps does it take to look Instagram ready?

I believe anyone can look amazing at brunch in 8 or less steps.  A few springtime wardrobe staples are a feminine dress, straw bag and Keds like tennis shoes.  Those items are a most.  These can be interchanged to fit your liking.  Add a few accessories and wala MAGIC!!!!
