Easter outfits

Hello everyone and happy Easter and holi to you. I hope you have a fantastic and blessed day. I just thought I would share my two Easter outfits with you today, and look forward to some extra blogs this week!

I went to church this morning and I am about to leave to go for Easter lunch at my aunt. I may post photos tomorrow!

bows are the best gift in life!

Yay! I'm back! Sorry for not posting, but I had end of term exams. I won't be home for my holidays, but I should get up at least one post a week for you.

Now can we please take a moment to love and admire bows? They are adorable, and I am sure not one girl is without a bow somewhere in her cupboard. Bows can be on anything, and just as they finish off the wrapping of a present, they can pull your entire outfit together.

Without a doubt, J.Crew makes the BEST bow tops. Bow tank tops are an essential to any girls wardrobe. Whenever I  don't know what to wear with a skirt or pair of shorts, I just say "I guess I'll wear my bow top!" I have mine in the preppy girl's staple colours: white, navy and hot pink.
Meggyums got me this long sleeve bow top on sale and I love it! J.crew long sleeve tops are the comfiest. Basically the same rules apply to this top as the tank. This is a tad bit dressier and is an essential in all colours for anyone living in a cold place.

Bow belts and high waisted skirts go hand in hand. If you own one waist belt it should have a bow on it. I wear this nude one with ANYTHING. Forever 21 has a wide variety of the cutest bow belts, all under $5. I wish someone would buy all for me.
The first two bow hair-clips were homemade my me. Aren't they the most adorable things ever? Comment if you want me to show you how to make them. If you aren't that crafty, my sequin bow is from Forever 21. I don't usually wear black but I got this one because it bends my school uniform. (Shhhhh!)

Finally, Meggyums got me my ultra-cute tea-time bow earrings on etsy. I love how mismatched they are! My pearl and bow bracelet is super adorable and not to mention cheap.I got it from Forever 21. 

OOTD: Eyelet and polka dots

from left to right:
home-made, China Town ($10), home-made

Top: Justice $15
Skirt: Land's End (mine does not have the smocked waist) $30
Cardigan: New York & Co. $30
Sandals: Lands' End $10
Purse: J.Crew (gifted but similar ones can be found at Target)

I'm just glad I got through an entire outfit without pink (except the bracelet but that doesn't matter)
The point of this post was to show you that preppy fashion does not have to be expensive and CAN be bought at Target.

Comment if you want to see how to make the bracelets.

Fix your boxy dresses

Sometimes (mostly when shopping online) you see the cutest dress ever, buy it and when you try it on you realise it fits like a box. Sucks right? the solutions to your woes are easier than you think. Just head over to Forever 21 and pick up some skinny waist belts! Honestly, they have the best belts at the best prices. Three belts for $10, not on sale? 

Here are two examples of a box-turned-not dress

had this dress for a couple of years but never wore it. Love it now and just itching for an opportunity to wear it!

 Belt: J.Crew (paid about $5 for it during a sale, but if you're not as lucky, forever 21 has a similar one)
Dress: Roxy (love their dresses by the way)

 

 

Could only wear this with a cardigan, the bow belt dressed it up!

Belt: Forever 21

Dress: Lands' End (similar)
