In less than a week I'll be 24 (on Thursday the 9th to be exact), and for a while now, holidays like Easter aren't really celebrated with as much gusto as when I was younger (anyone else miss Easter baskets and egg hunts?); but I still like getting dressed up for Easter dinner with my family (it's now basically a second Thanksgiving, and I'm totally okay to celebrate any holiday by stuffing my face!).
This year I went for something simple and easy. A while back I shared a
post about the Old Navy eyelet dress that I had just got for spring/summer. I put it on for the first time today, and I was in love as soon as I put the dress on! It fits like a dream, and it's lined so it's not see-through.
If you haven't seen it or purchased one yet, I highly recommend
this dress! And right now it's on sale at Old Navy for $35 (plus, today and tomorrow you can get an extra 20% off your order when you order online!). It's nice and light, but isn't flimsy. And, for tall girls like me (I'm 5'7"), it's not too short at all--perfect length!
Jacket: BCBGeneration from Marshalls
Earrings: old from Forever21 (slightly similar
here)
Belt: thrifted Ralph Lauren
Shoes: 2 months ago from Marshalls
Necklaces: old sale find from J.Crew (slightly similar
here)
I mention in
this weekend recap post, the tutorial I used to wand my hair, and it's been a really big help! I used to end up with these weird, really tight curls that make me look like Shirley Temple (I don't know how I even did it, but it was horrid lol). Now when I curl my hair it looks a
million times better, thanks to my friend Sam. And the best part is that she shows you how to do it in like 10 minutes! So if I can learn how to curl my hair with this tutorial, every one of you can too! :)
Happy Easter! And happy curling! :*
