I’ve been living in Portland, Oregon for almost 9 months now and it’s finally starting to feel familiar and a little more like home. I drove to the mall recently and I didn’t even need to use Google Maps to get there! This was a pretty big milestone for me. If you’ve ever moved to a new city you know what I mean.

There’s always something fun going on in Portland and everyone is out and about even on rainy days (and there are a lot of those lol). I was out doing some shopping last week when I stumbled across this ModCloth Pop-Up! I didn’t have my camera with me so please excuse the iPhone photos!

ModCloth is calling this the ModCloth IRL tour and here’s how it works. They give you a clip board and you write down the name, size and product code of whatever item you want to try on. A staff member brings all the items to a fitting room for you to try on and whatever you decide to buy is shipped to you (for FREE!) within 3 business days. Pretty cool eh?

They had a nice selection of tops, pants, bathing suits and dresses. Being that I am 3 months postpartum and still have about 15 pounds to lose I am trying not to buy new clothes right now. Partly because I am planning on getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight in the next few months but also because it makes me sad when I pick up a size small (my normal size) and it’s still waaaay to tight. I’m human and I get insecure sometimes when it comes to my body and those extra pounds that are hanging on to mah belly.

I have a polka-dot one piece bathing suit from ModCloth and I love it. ModCloth is my go-to shop for buying swimwear! They have the cutest vintage-style swimsuits that are flattering on all body types. There were only about 5 in the store but they have a lot more available online.

There were sooo many cute dresses. There were even a few that could totally work as wedding dresses! I decided to try on a few items and ended up ordering two of them. Again, sorry for the poor quality of the photos but my iPhone was all I had with me 🙂

I ended up buying the grey Portland tee and the black pants. The pants have elastic on the sides so they are basically maternity pants and you know I am all about that life. They are also high waisted so they help suck everything in if ya know what I mean!

I liked the dress but the sleeves were just a little too much for me. I was hoping the chambray top would work as a nursing top since it wraps around but the fit was a little weird. I’m really happy with the two things I ordered though!

They had a few home decor sections which I was seriously tempted by. They had so many cute little things that I totally don’t need but definitely wanted. I almost bought both of those mugs but considering I have approximately 19308 mugs already at home (I neeeed them all I swear!) I decided to exercise some restraint.

This location is here until July 31st so if you are in the Portland area you still have a few weeks to stop by. The August city stop is yet to be determined but they are heading to Pittsburgh in September!

Summer is the season of Pop-Up stores with everything from ice cream to makeup to clothing and more! What has been your favourite pop-up this summer? Food counts by the way. Food definitely counts 🙂
