On the topic of formal wear and red carpets, we might as well include this look that Kate Middleton wore the other night to a Thirty Club event where William was speaking. We think it's hilarious how everyone is calling it a "daring dress." Why? Because of the slit up the middle. How interesting, that she's all covered up and people call it "daring." In any case, we love the overall look and are glad she threw on the sassy Jimmy Choo shoes. They're definitely a change from her usual prim look. By the way, what do you all think of the term "daring"? Fitting or not? (Eh hem...we must give you all of the evidence....)

Here are the more modest looks from the Met Costume Institute Gala Monday night. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the event, some have come to title it the "night of a 1,000 dresses". It's an evening wear who's who in film, TV, runway and print take their favorite designers to one of the glitziest balls of the year. So really it's just a night of crazy designer fashion and celebrity. And again, we were pretty excited to see so many sleeved looks this year. Now it's your turn for some input... do you guys have any favorites?

COLORED ACCESSORIES
On the subject of J. Crew, here is another look of ours that we just shot that reminded us of the "looks we love" stylings. Again, although they are slightly different, you can kind of see how the elements are pretty similar. We both chose to keep the outfit really basic and then accessorize with color. Although our color is more faint, feel free to do what J. Crew has done and go more bold. We have another look coming where we are showcasing colored shoes (similar to J. Crew's pictured above), so keep a look out!

THREAD ETHIC vs. J. CREW
It's always nice to see something styled on a site like J. Crew and realize that it looks very similar to an outfit you have also styled. These looks are from J. Crew's "looks we love" for this summer. Our looks are from Spring and summer of last year. The floral skirt and denim shirt we posted about here, and the denim with stripes we posted here. Although the looks are not exactly the same, we liked to see that the elements are similar. We also have two more looks coming that are pretty similar to J. Crew's which were conceived of separately. We'll definitely fill you in on them as they come!

VERO MODA SPRING 2012 - Alexa Chung
We thought this was a lovely photo shoot that Alexa Chung did for the clothing company Vero Moda. We love their sense of style over there. It's cool, yet somehow simple and understated. But then again, put Alexa Chung in anything and that's what it would be. That must be why they chose her to be the face of their company...which is pretty dang smart if you ask us. If you're unfamiliar with the model Alexa Chung's style, you can see it here, here, here and here. Let's just say we kinda like her....

It's always fun to see what everyone wears at the White House Correspondents dinner. Here are this year's more modest looks. It seems like longer sleeves are the thing at the moment. What do you all think of the looks?
