Earth Tones for Easter Weekend and Earth Day

Is it just me, or does Easter weekend call for pastel hues, nude heels, and that warm, spring weather?  

That’s what I was thinking when I pictured my looks for our double date night on Saturday and church on Sunday, the perfect Easter weekend outfits. But when it’s a freezing 59 degrees and overcast, after an entire week of that sunny and 75, you’re sort of forced to break out your winter coat.

So, I did what any cool, laid back southern Cali girl would do.  I looked way back in my closet, at clothes I’ve had for a while, threw on my skinny jeans, hand-me-down jacket, and faux patent leather boots… slightly disappointed that it’s too cold for ruffles, florals, and dainty, strappy stilettos. 

One of my favorite things about living in California is the level of casual that’s acceptable in style. My southern roots often resist the idea that jeans and tees can be dressed up. I’m slowly but surely adopting the lifestyle, and kinda loving the chic, effortlessness of classic cool.  

Instead of buying something new to wear for Easter this year, and in honor of celebrating our overheated planet, I opted to save a little heat and do my small part to contribute to our Earth by rewearing some of my faves!

I couldn’t resist incorporating one pastel.  My lip color is Mary Kay’s NouriShine Plus lipgloss in Pink Parfait, and the Gel Semi-Shine lipstick in Naturally Buff.👄 💄
