It’s kind of funny, as I was thinking about writing this post I got a text from Roxanne, who is Jewish, asking if I grew up shopping for Easter dresses, since this is obviously not something she’s experienced. And WOW that takes me back- shopping for Easter dresses used to be such. a. big. deal. And for whatever reason (maybe it was just cute) Candace and I had to agree on dresses so we would match. For many years, there was a little hat involved in the situation too. We would go out to Tyson’s Corner or Montgomery Mall (usually not Lakeforest- BLECH!) and hit up all the department stores and it was always, at least from what I remember, a fun girls’ day with Mama D.
Now that I’m older, there isn’t such fanfare around the actual shopping for the dresses, but I always dress up extra nice for Easter, usually in something I get for my birthday. Since Rox asked, this year I’m wearing the Camilla Shirtdress from Cabi- probably with nude mules and a cardigan.
Sidebar: I actually always dress up for church in general. I know it’s more important that you be there at all, but I will never be there in jeans. No sir no how.
Anyway, I guess I’m just saying that it’s fun to dress up for what’s really the most important holiday (at least to me) in the Christian church. But that’s not to say you have to break the bank doing it. I tend to have a lot of luck at Charming Charlie, and as I’m actually home in the ‘burbs this weekend and doing some shopping with Mama, I might take a little looky-loo.
If you’re not familar, Charming Charlie is also a one-stop shop. Think Forever 21 prices, slightly better quality, and organized by color. That’s right. COLOR. So you can run in and find your coordinating pieces ASAP. Since you have barely a week to figure out your Easter outfit situation, this could be helpful. And no, this post wasn’t sponsored, I just love how their stores are set up, the price point, and the endless collection of their cute little pieces to complete an outfit. This is just one outfit I’ve put together, but the options are infinite!
Medallion Lace Fit & Flare Dress||Karli Wedge Sandals||Diamond Confetti Ruana||Lemon Dot Bar Clutch||Color Garden Statement Necklace||Bryndis Earring Set
Don’t forget that you can earn cash back from Charming Charlie when shopping through ebates!
