Easter Dress














dress-Le Tote, wrap/tights-ModCloth(smiliarish here and here), heels-Nine West(similar here), baby-Well, I don't want to get too graphic, but if you don't know where babies come from then you've got bigger problems than this blog can solve... 

So yep, this was my Easter Dress this past Sunday. I remember, as a kid, having a new, or at least new-to-me dress each Easter. My brother and I would pose for pictures before church with our baskets in hand, usually freezing as it wasn't quite yet warm enough. 

Now, as an adult and new mom I still wanted to celebrate the holiday with a new frock, however with my body in transition and my budget limited I turned to Le Tote to serve my needs. What I love about this overall look is that it reflects the season so well. Here in Pittsburgh, the trees are just staring to bud, and the first flowers of spring are peaking out of their sprouts, just like this black, grey, & white dress has the bit of pink! I kept that pink going with this ombre tights that, again, hint at the bright colors coming our way, while this wrap cardi was the perfect layer for a 50 degree morning.

Don't you just love when an outfit and the holiday/weather line up perfectly? And yes, my hair here is "interesting" I call this a punk-rock top knot and it's becoming a go-to when I don't have time to shampoo. Don't worry my next haircut has been scheduled!

  1. Really like your Easter dress! You look adorable in this. I am going to host an Easter themed party for my son at one of kid’s party venues in Los Angeles. Was looking for Easter dress code inspirations and ideas for kids.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
