Easter has never had a specific dress code, but it does involve fun spring colors and pastels. It had been raining off and on all week, but thankfully the sun was out shining all day on Sunday. The perfect weather allowed myself to pick out a fun spring outfit. My dress is by Lilly Pulitzer. I love the subtle hints of sparkles, and the subtle hint of detailing with the stripes. This style of dress is under the category of special occasion dress for Lilly. Although the brand’s merchandise assortment has varying beautiful floral patterns across most dresses, I felt as if those were too busy for this occasion. The floral combinations also do not scream Minnesota (snow in April!). As for accessories, I paired the dress with a hat that is actually a beach hat. This floppy hat is from Target and originally I purchased it to be a sun hat. But, I was going for a derby feel, and felt that it was still fitting with the stripes. The heels then go on to coordinate with the hat with the mutual navy tones. If you are ever looking for a new pair of heels or wedges, I highly recommend the lace-up style. The thicker wedge and support of the shoe on the sides and the laces creates comfort. These shoes do not instill that terrible pain after wearing them for over an hour. Lastly, I paired the look with some diamond studs from Francesca's, and an array of Alex & Ani bracelets. As for Pat, he is wearing a bright orange Nautica button up. Most people shy away from orange, especially individuals with lighter skin complexions. Although he does not have a tan skin tone to contrast against the orange, the color is very fitting for this holiday. Because my outfit is so neutral, he brings out the bright and fun colors in the easter basket. Due to the boldness of the shirt, pairing the ensemble with Calvin Klein khaki pants creates the right amount of contrasting colors. This spring, bring in some color! Whether it is into your wardrobe or a friends, try something new. Do not be afraid to pop in something that may have a more southern feel with the bright colors and patterns, because the sun is here to stay now… hopefully.
