Fun Florals & Easter Eggs

Such a fun dress for Easter! (Thanks, Gwynnie Bee!)  I saw this and I knew it was the perfect dress to bring in the spirit of Easter (the Reese's PB eggs helped a lot, too!) Although, the cold and rainy day did not really oblige.  I'm not really breaking any ground here by saying that I am super obsessed with mint green lately.  From my bubble necklace, to my new purse, and now this dress!  I cannot get enough!! I think that mint green is even in the talks for my sister's bridesmaid's dresses. 

Cue the Hallelujah chorus.

Ozzy even dressed up for the occasion... that little prince.

{bowtie: actually a hair bow c\o the shop of worldly delights, but I let him borrow it}

Happy Monday! Oh, and a brand new giveaway was posted earlier today! Check it out, my little chickens.

More weekend biz: Wore this dress here, but decided it made the perfect Easter Sunday dress so very excited to wear it again! We went to church downtown for a special Easter service at the Cannon Center, and then to a family brunch at The Majestic Grille.  Rode the trolley, met some tourists and laughed a lot.  Baby sister gave me the rock ring for Easter and I am in love with it.

And of course, no brunch is complete with out eight some mimosas.

easter eggs & coconut

I can't believe I spent my groundbreaking, milestone of my 100th post on Saturdaytalking on and on about bicycles and basketball.What a bummer.I will make up for it now... second thought... Don't hold me to that.

This is my Easter themed outfit, I didn't try too hard, but I admit I spotted this cardigan at Old Navy during their clearance extravaganza and it makes me sooooo happy.

So I did combine ruffles, florals, and pleats.

THE TRIFECTA!

Remember how I was raving about pleats and then ended up owning some?

This was a skirt I have owned since before I started college... thank you Isaac Mizrahi for your acclamation for elastic waistbands, you come in handy on holidays that center on deviled eggs and sugary treats. 

Also, to be honest... This cardigan was peeled off after these pictures because it is out of control hot and humid here, and I was melllllttttinnnngggg. It's going to be a rough summer.

Did you guys have the most wonderful Easter ever? 

We kinda mixed traditions today with margaritas (!!!!) for lunch, family dinner, 

and coconut cake.  

I hate coconut. 

 Does your family ever repeatedly ignore you when it comes to desserts? 

Oh, they knoooooow I don't like it.  That never stops them.

Meanie-heads.

Enjoy your Easter Monday, well I will... I don't have work or school today.

I'll be lounging and studying for Exam #1.

The countdowns are on:

graduation: 12 days!

royal wedding: FOUR DAYS!

my birthday: 44 days (okay, I'm a BIT ahead of myself here... but just so you know-- it's coming!)

the rainy day special

Today, I totally wanted to wear some of my new thrifted items.

(You can check those items out in my vlog, found here.)

BUT... Mother Nature did not want me to have any fun, so it's my rainy day special of jeans, boyfriend tee, and turban.

Speaking of that red head adornment, I love it.

You can see the different ways I have styled it 

HERE & HERE.

I can honestly tell you that three of the numerous items I am wearing today were assumably lost.I forget when I hang things up to dry in the laundry room and they get hidden by other items.I thought these jeans ran away... but alas, we are reunited.(and it FEELS SO GOOD)Same for the two necklaces, they were hiding under newer items.I think I need a new organizational system, folks.

Check out those nails! 

What do you think?

 It was harder than I thought, but I'm pleased with the outcome.  You can see Kara's DIY post on the striped nails HERE.

Get some fun colors and have an Easter themed manicure day.

Happy Easter weekend, and Good Friday, and Easter Monday...

Working at a Catholic school has many perks, including this glorious four-day weekend I start at six pm this evening. Hollllerrrr.

Talk to you later, my little chickens.
