Inspired by Hot Chip's mantra and the slow but sure arrival of Spring I've decided to embrace the lazy, lacy, whimsical look. Let grassy fields and picnics dance in your thoughts when you pull your summer skirts and dresses out from the back of your closet and throw your hair into a messy bun on top of your head. Keep your makeup simple, perhaps a pop of bubble gum pink or lilac polish and some super shiny gloss. The key is to channel summer sunshine while remaining wintery warm. Balance the frothy pastels with waterproof boots, tights (or the handy and tres trendy over the knee socks) and maybe even by throwing a thin sweater under your dress. Otherwise accessorize with unfussy slip on sneakers and a bag to tote easter eggs and dandelion chains in bright white or a sherbet-esque shade.
I'm going to throw on a fresh cotton sun dress and cozy into a oversize winter sweater and count down to the summer solstice as I plan my easter morning brunch with hot cross buns and ruby red grapefruit mimosas.
