bar III dress, alloy cropped cardigan, avenue shorts & chinese laundry flats (not pictured).
I absolutely had to have this dress when I tried it on at Macy's about two months ago. I'm very curvy, but I have a small waist, so I love anything that accentuates that feature of mine! Unfortunately, I don't have a tripod so I don't have any non-photobooth photos of myself in it, but I swear it looked better than the photos! The only thing with this dress is that it is pretty short, and I had planned on wearing tights but -- shock -- I don't have any! I couldn't believe it! I found these shorts in the back of my drawer.. I'm guessing they are supposed to be similar to bicycle shorts or spanx but they are way too big on me for that (which always makes me feel good, haha!) but I figured they looked decent enough for an Easter dinner at my house. If I was going somewhere fancier, I definitely would have worn tights! I also planned on wearing a pair of heels, but my legs are sore from working out the past few days so I took them off after about five minutes and switched for my go-to flats of the moment!

Normally, my family goes out for brunch rather than stay in like we did this year. I love brunch because I can wear a mix of classy and casual -- I never have to be too dressed up, but I usually over do it by wearing heels that are probably too high for a holy holiday (oops!). When I spotted this skirt on Polyvore, I knew that this would have been the ultimate skirt for today. I'm obsessed with the high/low trend going on right now! I also really love shirts with any kind of ties or bows or collars, so the shirt from Topshop is another on my most wanted list. I try to keep everything I look for on Polyvore under $100 to be realistic for my price range, but I felt that these accessories would be classy without screaming THIS WAS CHEAP! I especially love the clutch and the hints of lace! I wish I could find out who made it.
