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.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
