A little late, but here's what I wore for Easter! We got lucky and the flowers were blooming at one of my usual photo locations, ha ha. This whole street is lined with these trees, I love that the homeowners all decided to go along with this town park to add them to their lawns too. Makes it so pretty.
These cherry blossom print pants were perfect for the occasion and paired nicely with my dark pink sweater and light pink blazer. The bag is probably too big but it matched the leaves on my pants perfectly so I used it anyway.

Worn on a slightly chilly day last month. These jeans are definitely a transitional pair for me since they're looser fit. When I wear them with anything other than sandals they make me look a little dumpy. I don't wear this cashmere sweater often since it's pink, but I keep it around because it's so soft! It's also a nice darker shade of pink so it doesn't feel as frilly.
I didn't really get a chance to wear any of my Summer sweaters this year since we've really only been going to the grocery store. We have had a few backyard visits with my parents as well, but those didn't really call for sweaters, ha ha.

I also bought a few things during Roundabout Resale's Summer Clearance. All the items were brand new with tags, how awesome is that?! A Burberry London dress, which is part of my 5 and a pink cashmere sweater that I'm putting under basics. I also bought some crazy Tabitha Simmons boots that should technically be part of my 5, but they're Winter so I'm not counting them. They are in the photos anyway. [Oddly enough, I posted them back in 2011, how funny is that?!]
