Listen, I think we have the whole “let them eat cake thing” wrong. Marie Antoinette was French so surely she meant “let them eat macarons” instead. In any case, that would be my cry because I have finally seen the light about why bloggers lose it when it comes to macarons. I had one last year from Dean and Deluca but it was awful, absolutely awful. One of our sponsors for KC Blogger Brunch was ‘Lette Macarons and not only did they donate a generous amount of macarons for us, they sent me some to inspire an outfit. I chose the flavors: rose, salted caramel and earl gray. However, I also ate the pistachio and chocolate ones from the brunch and those also made their way into my box!

The entire website though inspired me because when the macarons arrived I couldn’t handle the pretty colors that showed up on my doorstep. When I got to try them I decided that I loved rose and salted caramel the best. Unlike the macarons I got previously they weren’t tried and were so rich in taste and texture. I was pleasantly surprised plus the colors were such a welcome into my life. Kansas is still so blah and brown right now so it was fun to get pull this bright and cheery outfit out of my closet!

Such a stunning outfit Alissa, you look so beautiful! I love the print of your skirt and of course, the fact that the macarons match it perfectly! I'm glad you've joined the "I love macarons club" they're so delicious!

I've never had a macaroon but don't really get the blogger obsession with them. This skirt, however, is gorgeous and you look lovely in it!

Love your outfit – and I agree, if Marie Antionette lived now she would have for said "let them eat macaroons."

Can you believe I've never had macarons before….! I don't know why, but I am never anywhere that they have them! Maybe I need to make a special trip for them down to the River Market because I feel like I am seriously missing out on something special! haha

Oooh macaroons! I had them for the first time in Paris last year and then I decided I was obsessed (of course!). My MIL bought me a macaroon cookbook about a month ago and I have yet to try it out. I need to! And I LOVE this skirt. The colors are gorgeous!
Kristina
I just saw the light about macaroons recently too, there's a Parisian cafe down the street from where I work and their dollar macaroon day is my new obsession. I love this look on you, your skirt is so pretty!!

I love that you've managed to make posing with a cookie totally adorable. You should be their new spokesgirl for sure. The only ones I've ever had were ones I helped make, and they were pretty darn tasty.

I absolutely LOVE this skirt on you! By pairing it with a white top, the floral really stands out on it's own – love that!
Also, the macarons at the brunch were SO yummy! Q and I both enjoyed the Salted Caramel ones! Thanks again for hosting a fabulous morning 🙂

You look so chic and girly in this. I need to keep this in mind to pair that same skirt I also own, with a white button-down. And I love macarons anytime, every time. It is a delightful cookie.

Lovely lovely outfit. I've been looking for a white shirt like this. I've never had macarons and have always wondered what the big deal is with them. Not even sure where to find them
