Beautiful Easter Dresses

Yesterday was the first weekend of Spring and it was, surprisingly, probably one of the coldest we’ve had in a while. Go figure! Still, despite the chill in the air, I know that hot days are just around the corner… Who knows, probably tomorrow! No matter the weather, I can always find an excuse to wear bright and cheerful florals. Now that Spring is fully here, I can wear them all with abandon. With Easter, just around the corner, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite floral dresses for whether you celebrate with church, brunch, or family dinner.
Tiered Midi Dress in Fairy Floral
Let’s start with the dress that I’m wearing and my number one pick! So officially, this dress is actually a swimsuit coverup, but I thought it was too beautiful to save for the pool. The floral print is a virtual rainbow of pastels. Honestly, I don’t know what could say, “Spring” more! The material is extremely light and flowing, which is perfect for warm Florida days. After you wear it for Easter, then it can switch back to a coverup. It’s the kind of dress you can wear straight from the beach to dinner and back again.
Faux Wrap Midi Dress in Rainbow Gingham
This dress was a very close second and one I couldn’t pass on. I already have a penchant for gingham, but I’ve never seen the print in such a rainbow of colors. I always find a wrap dress to be one of the most flattering styles, but that may not be your preference. Instead, you can find this same gorgeous gingham in a tunic, pencil skirt, button-down shirt, and even heels. Wear one favorite or, if you’re feeling bold, style an entire rainbow outfit.

Pink Tweed Shift Dress with Rick Rack Detail
While I now lean more towards light and airy midi dresses, there was a time where my go-to style was a prim shift dress. When I see a really great shift, my knee jerk reaction is YES I need these. But in reality, I know I probably won’t wear it as often as I would like since I work remotely. If you love a good shift, then you’re going to melt over this pink tweed number. What really gets me is the rick-rack detail. I’m partial to the bright pink, but the emerald green is equally stunning.
Light Blue Midi Dress with Swiss Dot
This dress is an absolute dream! I think if Cinderella lived in the 21st century, she would wear something similar to her big night out. There’s something so romantic about a Swiss-dot fabric. The vintage inspired silhouette will so flattering no matter your body type. I think my favorite detail is the deep v-back. You can make a subtle statement when you enter the room and when you leave.

Royal Blue Gingham Midi Dress
Easter and Spring style doesn’t have to be all things pastel and floral. Think of it as an excuse to begin wearing your favorite warm-weather silhouettes again. There’s no better example of that than this royal blue gingham midi dress. The dress style was a fan favorite last year with J. Crew and I’m so happy that they brought it back for a second round! The ‘neutral’ color guarantees that you can wear it throughout Spring and Summer. I particularly see this dress being a hit for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.
Pink Gingham Drop Waist Tunic Dress
This is another dress that J. Crew classifies as a “beach cover-up”. I have much bigger plans for this stunning pink gingham and drop-waist style. It’s hard to tell, but the fabric isn’t as sheer as you would probably think and can be work independently. For even more ‘coverage’ you can simply add a nude slip for peace of mind. Although it has a pretty casual feel, I think it’s instantly elevated with the bow detail at the neckline.

Aqua Puff-Sleeved Eyelet Dress
Is there any fabric more approbate for Spring than eyelet? This sea green/aqua is starting to become one of my signature colors. It always looks good with a tan on a sunny day. Better still, I’m really loving the silhouette of this dress. Seriously, I’m kind of a sucker for puffed sleeves, even if they draw more attention to my very broad shoulders. As everything in eyelet should be, this dress is lined for your comfort.
Yellow Rose Print Smocked Midi Dress
To quote Miranda Priestly, “Florals in Spring, groundbreaking.” Still, I needed to add one more floral dress for good measure. This dress, for me, evokes a feeling of quintessential 50’s housewife, ala Mrs. Cleaver. It’s brought into this decade with a dash of waist-slimming smocked detailing. If you happen to be a reader from Texas, this dress also has me singing “Yellow Rose of Texas” to myself too.

Again, these Spring approved dresses aren’t just for those who celebrate Easter. Take advantage of the new season, the warm weather, and the optimism for the future by having a wardrobe that matches. Make plans with friends and family to look forward and always find the positive throughout the day!
