I cannot tell a lie. This post is coming to you from our resident fashion expert, Angie, from Seven Clown Circus. Let her amazing fashion sense help you look your best come Easter Sunday…
Growing up, it was tradition in my family to get a new Easter Dress. As an adult, the tradition still lingers on and each Spring I find myself dying for a new dress or outfit that I can wear on Easter Sunday. This year, I am particularly pleased to see that beautiful, flirty dresses and skirt outfits are on the racks, and they are not in pastels! Pastels are super hard to wear for most of us, so having a color palette available that looks good on the general population makes this mama very, very happy.
Have you picked out your Easter/Spring Outfit yet?
I’ve been busy online doing a little shopping of my own, and thought I’d pass along a few tips (we are all about time saving, here) to help you in your search for the perfect outfit.
When shopping for the perfect Easter outfit, I’d consider a few things:
- Fit. Pay attention to it. If you’ve found the perfect dress, but it’s made to flatter a body type that you don’t have, walk away. Over the years I’ve found that dresses with a defined waist looks best on me. As much as I love the look of sheath dresses, they look terrible on me, and even though I want to be able to wear one, I shouldn’t because they don’t look good.
- Color. Once you’ve found the perfect fit, choose a color that looks good on you. If the color you’ve selected does not go with the hue of your skin tone, don’t buy it. There’s no point in spending money on a dress with a great fit and a terrible color. On you.
- Accessories. An Easter outfit just wouldn’t be complete without accessories, right? I’m thinking that a nice bag and shoes are just the ticket. Choose a bag and shoes to coordinate to your dress or outfit.

I’ve had my Cherubs’ outfits picked out for the past two weeks. What am I wearing? No clue. But now I think I want it to involve yellow.

I just bought some cute summer espadrille wedges for Easter yesterday. New clothes are a tradition in our house too. I’ve bought our son’s new outfit (including shoes for him) but still need to get Hubby’s and mine.

I just give my kids the money to buy a spring outfit for themselves now, since they’ve grown out of my taste and into their own. My hubby usually gets new slacks or a shirt and tie. So I’d say money$$$$. That’s what I’m waiting for so I can buy my own cute outfit for Easter. I wish I could just take yours right off your post. Adorable – every bit of it from the shoes to the purse.

Love the shoes & the yellow top with the skirt. Feels dressed up without being overly dressed, perfect for the day.

I love this post- and it has some fabulous pieces of advice that we all should listen to, but those are some of the ugliest, least-springtime-looking shoes I’ve ever seen. Yikes.

WOW, I am in awe of this layout! How … ? I guess for the moment I’ll stick with what I know. As for my Easter wardrobe, well “fit” is the key there this year I think!

I haven’t picked my Easter outfit out yet, but I’ll definitely stick with the tips you’ve given. There is nothing worse then an outfit you love in the wrong color. How do you know which colors go best with your tone though?
That yellow blouse is amazing! It’s all cute, but that blouse wants to come live with me!

Yellow is a great spring and summer color. I love when I can find something – a top particularly – that is the perfect yellow color.
Don’t neglect your make-up when you’re getting all dressed up!
