5 Easter Outfit Ideas

Easter is my favorite fashion holiday! Spring dress and hats are the most fun things to wear for me. Wearing spring dresses, pearls, and large sunglasses actually helped me get the name April Golightly. In college, my wardrobe mostly consisted of these items. A guy in one of my classes started calling Little Miss April Golightly with the “Asian” accent from the movie. Other students started calling me that and it just stuck. I have come a long way in my taste since then, but I still adore the Holly Golightly look and dressing up for Easter.

The Carrie Diaries Inspired DIY

I have been watching the Carrie Diaries since it came out.  It has filled the hole in my teen drama TV schedule  that the end of Gossip Girl created.  Naturally, it’s also spurred me on to re-watch Sex and the City.  I had forgotten how much I loved those 4 girls! The Carrie Diaries is not much like SATC, but it has lust-worthy fashion of the 80s that I miss. I could never imagine missing the 80s, but as with all fashion, there will always be a recycle of trends. Of course, there have been modifications of the 80s look. Carrie wears updated 80s clothing, but her co-stars wardrobe is straight out of the decade of indulgence.

Bermuda Shorts Outfit

Bermuda Shorts Outfit

The Spring Runways were filled with Bermuda shorts and nautical tops. It is a such an easy look to find in your closet already. Also, who wants to wear short shorts? Considering I have thighs and a serious tuckus, it is extremely difficult for me to find shorts that look good on me. Bermuda shorts are the way to go this spring and summer. You will be comfortable and on trend! Rare, I know!

Spring Trends

Maria is wearing a tone of spring trends in this outfit. My favorite trend is eyelet. Luckily, the Spring 2013 runways were filled with eyelets. Heavy hitters like Valentino, Giambattista Valli, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, and Victoria Beckham all showed the delicate white eyelet fabric in modern ways. I have been a huge fan of eyelet since I had eyelet pillows on my childhood bed. My mother always said that eyelet reminded her of her mother. I was young when she died so there are very few things that remind me of her. Eyelet is one of them.
