Easter finery

This Easter week, It's all about florals!

I have had this classic fit and flare dress, with it's large and colorful

watercolor floral print for several years.

This Easter week, I decided to add a peach split sleeve blouse underneath

to change it up.

For accessories I choose a 40's polka dot fabric box bag

and dainty feminine jewelry.

I saw this outfit as an opportunity for some subtle pattern mixing,

so I wore a pair of much neglected black with bronze and gold striped ankle straps.

Next, flowers with ruffles! Easter and the coming of spring is a good time

to pull out all the frills.

Pink, peach and coral floral dress with asymmetrical rows of ruffled tiers.

Accessorized with a silver tone link bracelet, blingy rhinestone earrings

and a white beaded 50's vintage clutch.

Soft pink tie heels and an ivory bow belt to finish. Super girlie!

I didn't notice how similar this last outfit is to the first one,

until I was putting together this post.

It's funny how it takes a photograph to drive point home-

I do love the fit and flare style!

Another dress that has been loved for several years,

this one in a blue and green floral and foliage print.

An ivory 3/4 sleeve blouse underneath.

Worn with simple acsessories

and my well loved strappy heels with a bold striped handle bag.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday!

Linking up with Visible Monday
