Blue and White Maxi Dress

Happy Belated Easter!  I hope everyone had a wonderful day.  Ours was very uneventful.  We just went to church and then came home.  I made an Easter ham for my husband and I.  We were blessed with beautiful weather this year, which is rare in Wisconsin to have beautiful weather on Easter Sunday.  I didn't get to enjoy it much, as I was cooking all day, but I did sit on our porch briefly, and it was a joy to have the windows open and feel the warm breeze and hear the birds singing.

Because we had such nice weather, I was actually for the first time in many years able to wear a Easter dress to church.  I chose an old maxi dress that I previously showed you in a "Grandma & Me" post HERE.

You are also getting a sneak peek at my new living room in this post.  I am so sorry I haven't done a big reveal post yet, but would you believe this room is still not done?  This room has been such a disaster remodel, I don't want to say too much yet, as I will wait for the big reveal post, but let's just say NOTHING has gone as planned.  It is almost complete, I have a few more finishing touches, and I should be able to show you the room and explain everything that happened soon.

In my "Grandma & Me" post I styled this maxi dress alone, with different jewelry and shoes.  This time I styled it with a denim jacket, a pair of white wedges, and teal jewelry.

The maxi has a short white slip underneath. The floral printed portion is sheer and there is a slit in front.  It's a unique feature in a maxi dress that I like, because my legs are covered, yet you can still see them.  

Shoes are from JCPenney (old).

Bag - DSW (old).

The teal jewelry is all from my stash (unknown and old),  and the ring is vintage.

Denim Jacket - Kohl's (old).

 

Have A Great Day!  Amy

Blue & White Florals For Spring

I am back with my third piece from my March Stitch Fix box:  this pretty blue and white floral top.  On Monday I shared a pair of printed pants and a white denim jacket that I got in that box.   I was really happy to see all spring items in my latest Fix as I am so over winter (although you wouldn't know it by all the snow we still have! ).

The top is by Vince Camuto.  It is sheer and it did not come with a lining or a shell to go with it, which was a negative for me.  I wore one of my own tanks underneath, but even after spraying my tank heavily with Static Cling, I still had major issues with the top clinging to my tank.

I styled the top with white jeans and white sandals to complete my spring look.  I can't wait till I can wear this stuff for real.  It's starting to warm up, but with all the snow and rain it's a real mess out there!

The sleeves have a pretty ruffle detail.

The flowers are a petite white.  There's also a row of tiny white buttons up the neckline.  I skipped a necklace since there was already so much going on in this top and opted for a silver bracelet and rings instead.

My white sandals were purchased last year.  Forgive the unpainted toes, I do not paint my toe nails until it's officially open-toe shoe season. 

Overall, I thought it was pretty top but I didn't think it was that flattering on me.  I was also bothered by the static cling and the fact that the top was not lined.

On Monday I will show you one more piece I received from this Fix and then on Friday I'll review the entire box and let you know the results of my Instagram Poll.  I'll also tell you what I kept and what I sent back.  You will be very surprised!
