This gorgeous periwinkle blue lace dress from BB Dakota is perfection for a dressy spring dinner or brunch. The off the shoulder neckline is a fresh modern take on classic lace, while the sheer sleeves and scalloped hemline add feminine details. We love that an elegant mini dress like this can be dressed up or down depending on your plans, from Easter Sunday to weddings and events, or even simply as a casual sundress with sandals and a floppy hat. The baby blue color is perfect for spring and summertime outings and is stylish and feminine without feeling overdone. The pretty pale blue shade is great for daytime adventures, so even after your Easter family meal you’ll be sure to reach for this frock when weekend girl's brunch or beachside happy hour arise.
It’s also the time of year pretty prints and florals start to take over, and we can’t wait to start wearing some of these floral beauties. For a more casual Easter day approach, wear your favorite jeans with a cute floral top in pretty spring hues, like this halter top by BB Dakota. The coral color is perfect for warm spring days, and a white and blue flowery print embodies springtime romance and mimics the budding flowers blooming in nature this time of year. The halter neckline is beachy and fun, baring the shoulders for a top that can be worn all summer long. For Easter day adventures, including outdoor egg hunts, throw on a light jacket over this salmon pink beauty for added warmth, and wedge booties for cute comfort. All together the outfit is classy and fun for a casual approach to holiday style.
Another top that we love for an Easter outfit is this gorgeous white lace sleeve blouse from Dora Landa that exudes romance and class. With the crossover drape front this top is perfect for dressy occasions like date night and Easter holiday dinner. Sheer lace bell sleeves incorporate recent trends with a touch of bohemian romance that makes this top stand out from other white blouses. To make the bell sleeves really pop, pair this top with classic skinny jeans and sleek booties for passing the holiday weekend in style. The lacey details of this top are timeless and ladylike while the bell sleeve adds a boho touch that is very of the moment keeping your look up to date with the latest trends.
To really kick things into true Spring fashion territory, it’s time to start bringing out the maxi dresses. Something about the weightless flowy length of a maxi just screams for warm weather, and this floral Yumi Kim beauty is the perfect elegant choice to transition into warmer days in a signature floral print dress. A floral silk maxi is a great choice for Easter weekend, since it is dressy and romantic with fresh spring flowers in pretty shades. Add a cropped jacket if the weather requires, and simple heels to round out the look which can take you from day to night. Choosing a navy dress with a pastel floral print in baby pinks and blues blends wintery darks with shamelessly bubble gum pink spring pastels. This dress will also take you into any summer event such as that wedding on the North Fork you are attending with it’s sophisticated wrap around look and beautiful silk fabric which makes it a favorite Yumi Kim style each year.

We’re loving every detail of this simple floral shift from Style Standard, from its girly floral pattern to it’s easy boho vibe. The long sleeves make this a perfect pick for spring weather, and a cut out in the back shows just a pop of skin for a flirtatious touch. The loose fit of the dress means you’ll be comfy all day, while the tapered silhouette still gives you shape. The simplicity of the scattered flowers on a crisp white dress is breathtaking and fresh and the perfect way to transition into summer whites. Since Easter Sunday is all about florals and pretty pale hues, this dress is a perfect pick for a stylish holiday with the simple flower print and dreamy white fabric, all you’ll need to finish the look is a pastel handbag and comfy shoes.
No matter which outfit choice you make, a new bag in a spring shade will help pull the whole look together. We’re crushing on these pretty clutches in shades of pale pink and nude, key neutral hues for spring. Whether a simple envelope style clutch from Rebecca Minkoff is your style, with it’s sleek lines and zipper trim in a pretty blush hue, this bag will go with just about any Easter day outfit. Another way to go is the nude tone laser cut clutch with a trendy tassel detail in a key transitional color. The geometric pattern will compliment any feminine style dress or top for effortless versatility.
