The Easter Dress
One of my favorite parts of Easter, is the new Easter dress. However, I seem to always make the mistake of either thinking I should look like some sort of pastel marshmallow, or I end up looking like a Senator’s wife, even though I’m only 24. Even worse I end up looking like I’m four years old. The very worst part is that I do this to myself, I pick out the dress every yeas that will make me either look twenty years younger or twenty years older than I actually am. I guess it’s because I have the phrase "Easter dress" stuck in my head, there just aren’t that many dresses to choose from, there is a reason why I usually wear a skirt & shirt for dressy occasions. I guess I just want to be extra sophisticated on Easter, but it always seems to come out wrong. I rarely wear my Easter dress more than once.
For some people, they think of Easter colors as blue & white because their mom’s always dressed them in sailor suits, so that is what they gravitate towards. I try to think of spring colors with lots of frills & lace, & some sort of jacket & skirt. This year, I went a different route & just bought a simple cotton skirt & a great black t-shirt, the entire outfit cost me less than $20. It wasn’t the most Eastery-y look, although I did wear cute earrings with the outfit for one tiny splash of color. However, it was a super comfortable outfit that I could wear all day. I usually end up hating my Easter dress & Easter shoes because of how uncomfortable it is, & how much older I feel. With this outfit though I can break it up into pieces for everyday wear, even if it wasn’t all that "Easter-y". What is your idea of an Easter dress?
