Easter-ish

To be perfectly honest, this is not what I am wearing today for Easter, but it would be perfect for the occasion. I wore this mix of stripes and dots last week for work and many people commented that it was the perfect ensemble for spring. No doubt that my pastel colored statement necklace was really what brought out the spring in the outfit, not to mention helped to tie everything together. This outfit was actually a result of blindly groping around my closet at six in the morning. Sometimes I think I do my best work that way!

Well, even if this is not what I am wearing today, I'll be posting the real McCoy later on in the week. For now I have to focus on decorating some eggs, making the mashed potatoes, and preparing for our family's epic Easter egg hunt. (I win it every year!) Whatever you have planned, have a Happy Easter!










Shirt: Target/Merona here

  2. Mix those patterns girl!! I LOVE this outfit. The print mixing is just perfection. Also we're kind of shoe twinsies in our posts. Metallic pumps just make you feel a bit more sassy - don't they?
    Found you via the linkup! :)

  5. I'm so afraid of pattern mixing, I should try this as an easy way in! Spots and stripes, what's not to love?! x

    1. In regards to pattern mixing, I am never quite sure if what I think works actually does work...but that's the fun of it! Blogging has made me more adventurous with mixing it up. But as you said, you can't go wrong with dots and stripes!

  6. Love this! You may have just inspired another outfit for me. I have a similar top and just bought a polka dot skirt with flowers but was about to send it back. It may be a keeper now, just have to see if it will really work with the flowers in the skirt.

    1. Thanks! This outfit sort of just put itself together and wasn't really planned. I think dots and stripes look cute if they are the right proportions. You should definitely give it a try!
