Easter Greetings

 Hello, welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Happy Easter season

 to all of those who celebrate this holiday!

🐣 

Does anyone else vote for Easter falling later in the year 

when warmer weather prevails?

I guess it depends on where you live

A little Easter holiday reminiscence follows

 I wonder if anyone else

 shares a similar experience from their childhood

that they would like to share!

When I was a little girl,  

 I remember my grandmother taking me shopping each year,

 for my special Easter Sunday outfit

 Back then, all of the retailers

 put their Easter finery out around the same time,

a few weeks before the holiday

There was always so much anticipation for the day

when we road the bus downtown,

 and I got to pick out my fancy new Easter dress

What a special treat it was!

I wonder if this is possibly the sweet memory

 that fuels my love of dressing up today? 👗👒👛

 The new dress would also be worn

 throughout the spring and summer

 to any special event that came up,

especially coveted birthday party invitations

But alas, the same vexing problem

 occurred every year

 Easter Sunday came, and the weather

 was too cool for my chosen frilly frock

I wore my new dress most Easter Sundays 

covered up by a cardigan or coat   

Today, I am more wise to the weather

 and plan on the cardigan

 Even though I'm not wearing a frilly new dress

 purchased just for Easter,

 a sweater is still in order

This Easter, I am wearing a wrap dress

 in a psychedelic paisley and floral print,

in shades of aqua, blue and violet

All the blues are trending this spring,

although the dress is several years old

I layered the wildly printed dress

 under a nubby textured blue cardigan

 I chose this cardigan for the outfit, 

because it is sort of a throwback style,

 reminiscent of the ones worn way back when

 It is a classic take on the lady cardigan or lady jacket

currently popular once more today!

A stance my grandma might have taken 

while waiting for me to get all my buttons and bows in order

 so as not to be late for church-lol!

Carrying an embossed taupe small satchel handle bag,

 with gold tone horse bit detail

I chose three pieces of bright gold tone jewelry

 A necklace of rounded square reticulated links,

a bold hinged bracelet and loop design hoop earrings

Accessorizing this outfit up

 with a navy blue polkadot bow headband

 and navy blue belt

Taupe suede cross strap block heels

 to finish my Easter look 

A flashback to Easter time, 2020

Layered up back then, too

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago,

these beautiful cherry blossoms

are a pink carpet on the ground, now 

Some Easter holiday treats-

the bunny cupcakes are (almost) too cute to eat!

I will be back next week,  

with another outfit and another item

 purged from my wardrobe

Hope everyone is having a lovely

 Easter holiday season!
