This dress is one of my favorite buys from Roundabout but I think it's only been on the blog once or twice! For shame! The story of how this dress entered my closet is quite long. Here's the readers digest version: June 2011 it is featured in a Closet-Worthy post. In May 2014 I spotted the dress in one of Roundabout's New York locations but left it since it was still $500. In August of 2014 the dress made it's way to my local Roundabout in Wesport and was part of their Summer blowout sale so I spent $136 on a dress that retailed for $1,995. And it was brand new with tags. SCORE!

I wore this for the first of our two Easter celebrations. My family splits the holiday so we aren't rushing to two houses in one day. I wore this to celebrate with my dad's side of the family.

I still remember the day I wore this outfit. It was from when I used to work in New York City and two work friends and I went to a shopping event at a Madewell store. I didn't buy anything, but we did get some tasty froyo! I wore this for a less exciting occasion - to the bank to order some Euros for my upcoming trip to Italy. (WOO!)

The Original:

Almost every year since I got this dress I've found myself wearing it on Easter. It's the perfect piece to celebrate the day and Spring. This Easter felt like Summer with temperatures in the 80s! We actually had to turn on the air conditioning at my Grandmother's and couldn't sit outside for too long because of the heat.

Normally when I wear cardigans I keep them unbuttoned but this cardigan is on the shorter side so I decided to button it all the way up and wear it as a top. I think I like it better this way. I wore this when the temperatures were still pretty mild but warm enough to wear sandals. The pom poms on these went with the sweater so well so I couldn't resist pairing them together. I'm still HORRIBLE at tying these and am always stepping on the tassels.

This is what I wore to celebrate my Dad's best friend's birthday over the weekend. It was a pretty dive-y place so I figured why not wear my crazy printed top to blend in with the mismatched decor. It was still a liiiiittle chilly so I threw on a fuzzy sweater to keep warm.

I hope everyone who celebrates has a Happy Easter this weekend! We're having one of our family celebrations today and a second on Sunday. I enjoy spreading out the celebrations between 2 days instead of having to rush over to another house on the actual holiday. Plus I get to wear two outfits!
