Wardrobe Wednesday- Easter Sunday
I'm going to feel a wee bit blasphemous admitting this, but I have been so looking forward to Easter for the past four months just so I could finally wear this dress! I found it last November at one of my favorite vintage shops in the Akron area, Secret Past. Saving dresses for special occasion is the worst! It required some serious self control. Of which I have very little.
As a child, finding an Easter dress was a special mother-daughter activity. And each Easter Sunday, I usually found on my little feet a pair of black or white patent mary janes and lace trimmed bobby socks. On my head would be a wide brimmed hat adorned with a ribbon and silk flowers, often held tight on a windy day with chubby gloved fingers. This year was meant to be an ode to my childhood Easters, but I decided on a top knot rather than a hat and in place of the bobby socks, my old prep school knee-high socks folded down.
I wasn't sure how I would feel about the socks, but really, I loved the way they looked with this dress, and I don't think they left my short legs looking too stumpy. So, I'm taking the sock trend and keeping it in my back pocket for the time being. We'll see if I decide to try it again sometime this Spring…

I would have a hard time keeping that dress tucked away too! Very cute.
