Did ya’ll catch Monday’s March favorites recap?  Something tells me, I may be seeing this dress top the April list.  If you are in need of an affordable Easter dress or luncheon, shower dress, I have you covered with this one.  This Easter dress option comes in at only $59!  A few of my favorite things about this dress, the open lace design on the chest and arms.  It’s such a pretty, feminine detail.  The floral print stamped into the white lace design gives me all the Spring feels!  These two details make this gorgeous white lace dress be it’s own statement maker.

I opted to keep most of my accessories neutral with a nude colored clutch and taupe block heels sandals.  I did add in a pair of blush pink statement earrings to help pull out the flower details on the dress. I remember as a kid, we would get to pick out an extra special dress for Easter Sunday.  Nowadays, I usually just grab one of my spring work dresses.  I love the idea of going back to that extra special theme, especially when I can find such a beautiful Easter dress under $100!

What is your Easter Sunday style?  Fancy, Casual, or somewhere in the middle?

Happy April!! Ya’ll I had so much fun with my girlfriends’ this weekend! We surprised our friend that we were visiting with a mini birthday party, complete with balloons, cake, and party hats.   We also learned that if you decide to wear your cute party hats to dinner, everyone who works at the restaurant will stop to chat.  It was so fun! We ended the night with an old fashioned slumber party and an 80s movie. Definitely a weekend that I hope we repeat again!

Since ya’ll liked last month’s reader favorites post, I decided to make it a regular thing.  Your March favorites included a repeat from February, and all items to show that we are very ready for Spring!!  Which item was your favorite?

A reminder on how I figure out which items ya’ll loved –

I use an affiliate program called Rewardstyle. If you click on a link from my blog or social media that takes you to a product page on a retailer’s site, Rewardstyle is able to track that your visit to that site originated from me. The Rewardstyle affiliate program pays me a commission per purchase made. Basically, if you click on one of my links and end up making a purchase, I earn a small commission.

Because I use this service I also have access to certain data analytics. This means I can see and keep track of which items are clicked on and which lead to a purchase.  I do not see who clicked on the link or what items might have been purchased. For example, if you click on my latest pair of heels and then purchase a new red lipstick too, I will only be able to see that a purchase was made and that the heels link is how you arrived to the retailer’s site.  It’s kind of similar to how a salesperson may earn commission in the store.

I’m a numbers gal, so I love diving into all the data every month.  These analytics allow me to keep track of what ya’ll loved and didn’t so much love.  If I see one item is clicked on and/or purchased more, I might consider sharing a restyle over on Instagram.  These commissions are an easy way for you to support my blog without having to do anything extra and a way for me to cover the variety of expenses that come with running a blog.  So if you have ever made a purchase through one of my links know that I am so grateful for you and your support of my blog.

Now on to your March favorites!

Happy Friday!! I’m bringing you the prettiest pleated midi skirt for spring today.  I’m so in love with the colors of this skirt.  The teal and light pink work really well together and the black and white add great contrast.  I am so happy we were able to catch the movement of this skirt because it only gets prettier when you walk.

While this midi skirt is perfect for work, I wanted to share how I would style it for a more casual outfit.  I paired it with a few spring basics my favorite black tank top and denim jacket.  Both pieces help dress the look down a little.  On a warmer day, you could go sans the jacket and just do the tank top.

I went with my black block heel sandals because I felt they worked with my petite height and the length of the skirt.  Add in a few rose gold jewelry pieces and this look is complete.  To make your jacket work for a spring look, roll up the sleeves to 3/4 length.  I usually keep mine rolled like this all spring, occasionally unrolling on cool evenings.

I’m so excited for this weekend.  I am headed to an all girl slumber party at a girlfriends’ new house.  We have a dinner planned at one of her city’s hot new restaurants and then all the girl talk.  I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend!

I have been slowly dusting off my wedge sandals during our warmer days the past few weeks.  I figured it was time to check out the latest sandals of the season.  I branched out of my neutral route for ya’ll and included lots of color and a few animal prints.  One of my favorite shoe trends lately is the blue denim look.  I love this for spring paired with white jeans or sundresses.  I also included red, yellow, and pink because I think these colors can work with an array of other colors and outfits.

Animal print is coming in strong this season.  The two popular prints are leopard and python/snakeskin.  Another trend going strong is the mule style sandal, aka backless. I am a huge fan of this style, so I am happy to see it still sticking around.  I also included a few neutral shades from nude colored to white to black.  I think black and nude colored are two essential pairs to start with because they can be worn with all the things.

Which wedge sandal is your favorite?
