the perfect easter dress

i've always been a girly girl, even during that awkward time between 10 and 12 when i experienced a very regrettable 'tomboy' phase.  i've always enjoyed dressing up and acting feminine.  it's probably one of the many reasons i have such fond memories of the easter holiday.




as a little girl i always had an 'easter dress', in fact it was the dress that excited me more than the basket of goodies the bunny left behind or the thrill of going to grandma's to see my cousins.  the simplicity of showing it off at sunday school on that special day made me grin from ear to ear.  maybe it's because i didn't get an abundance of dresses or maybe it was because it was an entire outfit but, it made me so happy.  from my frilly socks to the gloves on my arms i wore each perfectly coordinated ensemble with pride. 

at some point, probably between 10 and 12, i quit getting excited about dresses.  period.  not until recently have i really embraced their liberating allure. when i saw this slouchy dress on Forever21’s website, for only $22.80,  i knew i had to have it for the upcoming weekend.  with it’s floral print and long flowy sleeves it seemed the perfect 'easter dress'.
