Easter Sunday

Hope you all had a nice Easter and/or a nice Sunday! I spent the majority of the day in my pajamas, relaxing and catching up on some blog reading. I would say that's a pretty decent way to spend a day, don't you think? I joined my family at 5pm to get a bite to eat at one of my favorite restaurants in Royal Oak (Michigan), Pronto. We celebrated Easter last weekend upnorth at my grandpa's house so this was an easy-going casual get together. Still, I felt it necessary to wear a spring worthy dress...


Dress: Talbots (vintage?), Thrift: Oak Park Value World, $2.25
Belt: Random piece of black ribbon
Sweater: Kersh, TJMaxx, ? (old)
Heels: Metro 7, Walmart, ? (old)
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
I bought this dress the other weekend while thrift shopping with Suze. It's 100% polyester but feels like silk. It's so thin, it basically feels like you're wearing nothing which is nice and weird all at the same time. :) Actually, let me correct that - it will be nice when some warmer temps get to Michigan. Today it was just plain cold.

I initially planned to style the dress with a jean jacket and flower pin... but it ended up looking way too Blossom - which wasn't the look I was going for. Instead I paired it with this fresh green long cardigan and it was perfect. I love this shade of pink and green together.


Here's a better view of my shoes. I bought these years ago at Walmart and they've been a favorite ever since. I, of course, like the fact that they look vintage. I typically wear a size 9 in most shoes, so it can be hard to find decent actual vintage shoes in my size.

Like this dress that I picked up with Suze? Stay tuned this week for a post about the rest of my purchases! I found lots of bright, vibrant colored pieces - perfect for spring!

BIRTHDAY GIRL

No, it's not my birthday today... but this is my birthday dress!

Dress: Thrifted. Vintage.
Belt: Black/Braided/Thrifted
Shrug: Bright green, soft & comfortable. Bought on clearance at Old Navy years ago.
Shoes: Clearance Walmart special.
Glasses: Cat eye perfection from SEE Eyewear
I bought this dress last year to wear on my birthday. Do you ever buy a special outfit to wear on a special day? I do this for pretty much any holiday: Christmas, Easter, my birthday, my boyfriend's birthday, etc. I blame this on my mom. She always bought my sister and I new outfits for each holiday - and I'm talkin' down to gloves (not the winter variety) and hats. I've always been quite the girly girl.

I actually bought an amazing chunky vintage necklace to go with it but left that lady out today considering I was wearing the bright green shrug with this. The necklace has a lot of red in it and I didn't want the outfit to end up looking over the top.

Can you believe these shoes came from Walmart? I bought them a few years ago when I found them on their shoe clearance rack. I want to say I paid $7 for them but I'm not 100% sure on that.

And with that I bid adieu to summer! I figured that wearing one of my favorite vintage sleeveless dressed would be appropriate for one of the last few days of summer. Are you sad to see summer go? Personally, I'm not. Fall is my favorite season - I say bring on the sweaters and the boots! Bring em on!
