Easter is almost here! That means it is time to think about the perfect outfit to go from morning mass (or service) to Easter festivities! I always love looking for the right ensemble for Easter. I love to have a nice outfit to celebrate the holiday as well as take me through the days’ celebrations.
I originally bought this dress for fashion week in New York and then quickly realized it would not keep me warm; despite the long sleeves. The eyelet fabric on the sleeves is open and acts like natural air conditioning. This makes it ideal for spring weather. The neckline is modest and the eyelet fabric on the body has a light tan liner underneath, keeping the fabric modest and appropriate for church. Perfect!
This will be my Easter dress! I also plan to wear it to meetings; or anytime this spring I need to look professional. Love that!
What types of outfits do you enjoy wearing on Easter?
February and March are always confusing months for a wardrobe. One day it will be eighty degrees and perfect weather, the next next day it can drop down to sixty degrees and start to rain. Of course, since we have a drought in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are seeing more of those eighty degree, pool days rather than the cooler, rainy days. Oh how we wish for rain! But I digress. . .
Since the weather is transitioning from winter into spring, our wardrobe needs to be able to transition too. This is why I love skirts in thick fabrics which can easily be worn with tights on cool days, and bare legs on warmer days. This Milly skirt fits the transitional bill. It has a black band at the top, covered by my shirt-sorry about that, which allows it to be worn with black tights, and a black wool coat for cool days. On warmer days, the bright colors and the festive pattern work well for a spring look. Love that!
I wore this skirt at fashion week in early February when temperatures dropped below ten degrees. I have never been so cold in my life! Thankfully, this skirt is easy to layer and added a little bright color to the dreary days in New York. My friend Jenna snapped a few pictures of me inside the tents between shows because it was way too cold to take pictures outside. Plus, I wanted to have one last photo opp with the Mercedes Benz display. This was the last fashion week in New York they would be sponsoring so I needed a little souvenir. 😉
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, and it is officially spring, I look forward to wearing this skirt with less layers; and eventually short sleeves as we head towards summer!
Skirts are my favorite transitional pieces from winter into spring, what is your favorite way to transition between seasons?
I originally purchased this dress to wear in New York for fashion week. When it was time to pack, I realized this dress was way too thin for the freezing temperatures I would encounter back east. This led me to leave the dress hanging in my closet, and my suitcase to hold thicker garments.
Now that it is March, the weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area has been hovering in the 70’s, and even low 80’s! This means I can pull out all my favorite spring clothing; as well as this dress! The fabric is thin and cool; despite the long sleeves. This makes the dress ideal for meetings, church, or any gathering where you need to look polished. Love that!
I also love how the pattern breaks up the stripes, so they do not make me look wider. Always a good thing 😉 Do you have a favorite dress for spring which is fast becoming your go-to item? Please share in the comments below!
