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.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...
