I've been neglecting my blazers this year so doing these throwback posts is helping lessen my guilt! I can't believe I've had this Chanel blazer for 3 years already! Time certainly flies. Both the blazer and heels are some of my favorite buys from Roundabout. I've had to limit my trips there to just when they have their end of season sales otherwise I spend far too much money!

Blazer: Chanel (Roundabout Resale), Tee: Cullen (Rue La La), Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Resale), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La)

I wasn't planning on buying anything this month, but one weekend my mom and I went to Lord and Taylor to kill some time. Always a bad idea! I tried on 5 things and fell in love with a pretty blue shirt dress, luckily it was on sale for $60 and I had a $50 gift card!

Here's my second Easter outfit! It was this dress' second birthday over the weekend so it was fitting that I wore it again. Another non-characteristic piece for me, yet it's one of my favorite items of clothing! So glad I kept up my search for it and finally bought it.  It's been worn so many times, even in Paris last April!

Paris Map Dress: Carven (YOOX), Suede Jacket: LAUREN Ralph Lauren (Marshalls), Sandals: Cole Haan 'Minetta' (Amazon)

As usual we had two separate Easter celebrations this year so we didn't have to worry about going two places at once on Sunday! I wore this on Saturday to celebrate with my Dad's side of the family.  The dress is not something I would normally buy but for some reason I was drawn to it and it actually looked good on me when I tried it on. Also helps that I only paid $10 for it!

Wearing black doesn't have to be boring, and it isn't! I may be in all black (except the bit of gray in my sweater) but the details make the look. The zipper detailing on the jeans adds a fun touch and the black and gold necklace is a perfect pop over my black tee. So forget all those people that say wearing black makes you boring! Black is the best!

I hope everyone who celebrates has a Happy Easter this weekend! We will be celebrating on Saturday and Sunday with each side of the family, ha ha. But you know what that means: two Easter outfits! WOO!
