Easter Lunch Outfits: Blue Printed Dresses and Bright Accessories - Rebecca Minkoff Bags

I'm still behind with blogging what I wore. Or as Ellen said when I previously pointed this out, I'm so organised that I'm prepared two weeks in advance, ha! So this is what I wore over the Easter long weekend. We ended up having two Easter lunches -  with my side of the family on Sunday, and with hubby's side of the family on Monday. I kept my outfit simple for both events and took the easy route with printed dresses, and of course they were both blue.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Dress: boohoo.com 'Darcy' paisley print bodycon dress

Boots: Acne pistol boots in "skin"
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow (on sale in black or pink)

Why I wore it:

I wasn't quite sure what to wear for Easter lunch with my family and then I remembered I hadn't worn this dress in a while. Was the perfect time to wear it! Added the boots as it was a little chilly in the morning, although by lunch time it had warmed up enough that I didn't need them. Wearing another layer with my shapewear under this dress again makes it quite warm too.

Thought that the yellow bag would be a lovely choice with this dress, nice and cheerful for Easter. Had Church Online in the evening with my 'church family' as well. I am so lucky to get to work with a bunch of awesome people every week. Our leader has been away for a few week as his wife recently had a baby, but he managed to come along so it was good having everyone together again to celebrate Easter.


Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarer, paisley print bodycon dress, Acne Pistol Boots, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Belt: Asos skinny pale pink belt
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine

Why I wore it:

I wore this dress for Easter last year as well! I was in the third trimester then with my baby belly. I wanted to wear it again for Easter this year, without the baby bump! Just wore it to visit hubby's family instead of mine, as I'd worn it for Easter with my family last year ;)

Decided to add some colour to this blue dress with accessories too, just like the dress I wore the day before (above). I thought my aquamarine mini MAC and my sorbet pink Balenciaga sandals looked nice, even though the hardware on the sandals is gold and it's silver on the bag.
I used to be very careful to only wear all silver or all gold things to match the hardware on the handbag I was using every day, until I got my first Chloe Paddington bag, with its silver zips and gold padlock. Since then I've gotten a lot more confident at mixing metals. When it comes down to it though I think shiny things always look good with other shiny things, no matter what colour or mix of colour they are, ha!


Last worn: wayfarers(see above), blue printed maxi dress, pastel pink belt, Balenciaga studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: blue printed maxi dress with a clutch for Easter, Balenciaga studded sandals with a chambray shift dress, aquamarine bag with green tank.
