In my Easter bonnet...

Ok, so I may not be wearing a bonnet, or head gear of any sort, but you know I'll use any reason/excuse/holiday to dress up in something pretty!

Besides a few rain showers throughout the day, we had a beautiful Easter Sunday here in NJ. Easter is one of my favorite holidays because all of my extended family and close family friends come over for a delicious meal in the Greek tradition - that means roasted lamb! Though we didn't go all out with the whole lamb roasting on the outdoor skewer this year (because my grandfather passed back in November, holidays are a bit more subdued than usual) my dad still roasted up the lamb in the oven with potatoes, as well as a traditional youvetsi (ours was made with goat), spanakopita, tzatziki, and tons of different sides, salads, wine (of course) and appetizers to go around. Thank goodness this dress is flowy because I was stuffed by the day's end!

Pretty sure I'm wearing all the gold bangles I own and then some!

I'll be the first to say that the Forever21+ line can sometime put out truly garish creations (like this one), but when they do it right, they do it right. I fell in love when I saw this dress on their site and I snapped it up immediately. I wasn't the only one, because it sold out in just a few days! This dress is a 2x and fits comfortably and loosely. If I had sized down I could have gotten away with wearing it sans the turquoise tank underneath, but I don't mind the loose flowy fit the 2x gives me, so it's a win either way. 

This necklace was a fun little creation - It's a long strand doubled up, and I hooked this removeable pendant through a loop and over the second strand to make a short necklace. Cute right! I like that this pendant can be removed because different chains and lengths will lend it to many different looks!
