Spring has Sprung! Floral Days Ahead




Well spring has spring at least in my outfit if nowhere else. Yes, we still have snow.  Yes, we still have to wear toques and mitts on occasion. Yes, we are still hovering around the 0 C (32 F) mark.  But, look at this cute dress from Belong Lifestyle.  It's perfect for EASTER, don't you think?   I love the mid-length and had been eyeing it up for months before I bought it.   They also have a maxi version of this dress but being only 5'4" I knew that wasn't going to really work for me.  I love the bold color combo in this dress, the floral print really pops against the navy blue color. I rarely buy anything navy but I love this combo so much that it wasn't difficult to choose, although this dress comes in many, many colors.  


Best part of this dress are the pockets!!!!  I love me some pockets, especially as a mom and teacher.  I am always needing to stash something in them and they are the perfect place to put your tube of lipstick if you don't plan to lug your purse around.  


I haven't been shopping really throughout this quarantine life, but when I do I try my best to support local business at this time of need.  Our small local businesses are the heart of our communities so one of my goals in 2020 was to balance out my spending between local businesses and my big store brands which I still love and am not ready to give up. 


Hope everyone survived another week at home, hunkering down.  We are still going to make Easter come to life this weekend, with an Easter hunt, a gift from our favorite bunny, egg coloring and a special dinner for our little family.  Happy Easter to your family from ours.

  1. I love that color blue - I have the hardest time with what color shoes to wear with it though for me.

    1. I think of navy often a black, except with black 😊. Nope, pockets are just the best bonus!

    1. I know, right? I feel really grumpy about the snow to be honest. I just want some warm weather so that I can at least sit on my deck with a good book. Ah, well. Life is as it's meant to be. Hope you had a lovely Easter.

  6. I have the maxi version of that dress (or at least super similar) and love it, but it did run long. I didn't see the shorter version. It's adorable on you! I absolutely love the adorable pink bag you paired with it!
