Brighten Up Your Easter Style

One potential downside to Easter is that some years it comes early enough that the weather is still cold. But, that’s no excuse to wear something dark to church or other functions. Rather, I advocate that you brighten up your Easter Style.

Some of you may not have flowers in bloom to make you think spring. Yet, you can bring both light and color to the room with you.

Now, I normally like to do a mini fashion shoot for my StyleHOP posts each month.  

However, computer woes and a sudden burst of snow the other day here in Alaska had me reconsidering that option.  

Instead, I’m pulling together some ideas from a few of my favorite fashion sites that you can easily integrate into your wardrobe.

Find a New Dress That Says Spring Is Here

When you were a child, did you mom make a trip to the store to buy you a new dress just in time for Easter?  

I know we did and I’ve carried on that tradition in my house when the boys were younger.  Only they got a new ‘suit’ styled outfit instead of a dress.

A new dress is something I love to do for a special occasion like Easter Sunday.  

Then, I can enjoy the same dress throughout the warm weather months whether I am wearing it to church, a wedding, or date night.

If you are a voluptuous lady like I currently am, then definitely check out the Easter Outfits for Plus Size Women over at Kiyonna.

They have dresses as well as cheerful tops that can partner with a skirt or slacks from your closet.

I am really drawn to the Essential Wrap Dress which comes in either solid colors (plum, navy, and black) as well as 3 different prints.

The dress has slimming lines, a flattering tie, and a fluid knee-length skirt. Princess seams run along the front and back of the dress to create a beautiful shape. 

Alternatively,  you could order up the Ciara Cinch Dress in Vintage Peony Print with a statement necklace or a pair of strappy sandals for a girly flare.

For those who enjoy wearing a maxi dress, there is the Vienna Maxi Dress in Apricot Blossom Print.

The Dolman sleeves, an empire waist, and a deep yet narrow V-neck are extremely flattering. And, you’ll find sexy slits for a dramatic flair. 

Easter Style Refresh: New Accessories, Makeup, or Shoes

Maybe you have the perfect outfit you’ve worn in the past and want to just give it a new feel.  

Well, accessories can definitely help you out there!  

It is amazing how a new piece of jewelry, handbag, or the way you wear your hair can make all the difference.

With my long hair, I like to find ways to keep it off my face.  

They say shoes can make the outfit.

While that is true, I also like something that feels comfortable.

The Spanish Sandal Co. is one that has both a lovely style and comfort in its selection of shoes for women.

The Tan Nubuck Cork Wedge Sandals are a great neutral color for the spring and summer months.

Finally, I find that some new nail polish or a palette goes a long way to making everything seem fresh.

So many options in this collection of lip gloss at Julep is awesome.

How do you brighten up your outfit for Easter?
Or do you like to start from scratch each year?
