Do Grownups Get to Wear Easter Dresses?

Do Grownups Get to Wear Easter Dresses?

One-shoulder brocade dress from Tracy Reese PlentyI still remember my first Easter dress. It was yellow with scalloped edges and I had frilly white socks and brand new patent leather shoes. Someone should have known right then that they were creating a fashion addict.

I’ve since grown out of the frilly sock phase and I haven’t had an Easter Dress since I was about 12.

But what exactly is the cut-off age for Easter dresses?

If fully grown fashionistas are allowed an Easter dress, I’ll choose this peachy one-shoulder brocade dress from Tracy Reese Plenty ($198).

The shoulder-baring dress is demure yet sweet and lets you get to show off just a little bit of skin for spring. I think the peachy color works with a lot of different skin types, but the bow is the best part. So flirty!

Pair it with sexy slingback sandals and you’ll be hunting for more than just Easter eggs.

Piperlime has been the go-to spot for great shoes, but now they’ve added handbags to the mix. Just in time for spring, they come through with a mix of exotics, brights, and great bags for everyday.

They have high-end bags from Botkier and Marc Jacobs as well as options for the cost-conscious girl from Jessica Simpson and Chinese Laundry.

These are just a few of the bags they currently have. Personally, I’m craving a cute clutch or envelope bag right now.

I love gooooold!

Charlize Theron looked radiant in a swingin’ fringed Dior dress at the premiere of her new movie Sleepwalking. Pairing the dress with flesh-toned Jimmy Choo platforms made the blonde actress look even more statuesque and is a good trick for making legs look a mile long.

Get Charlize’s leggy look with these flesh-toned pumps.
