Happy Easter everyone! This is what I will be wearing for church and dinner with family/friends tomorrow. I purchased everything but the shoes this week, not intending to wear them together but ultimately I couldn't resist this girlie mix of pastels and bows. I won't be posting tomorrow in observance of the holiday, so I hope you have a great weekend and I will see you Monday! Which version do you prefer - tucked or untucked? What are you wearing on Easter?

Second line #3 = divine! I think I prefer top out as opposed to tucked in, either way it's a cute outfit! HaPPY Easter.

nice outfit....isn't the top a little too tight?
ReplyDeleteThe wrinkle you are seeing is because the seam on the shirt is slightly higher than the top of my skirt, so there is some fabric falling out of the skirt. I like it tucked in better, but it's going to be hard to keep it tucked in for that reason, so I'll probably wear it out!
ReplyDeleteUntucked! Such a cute Easter outfit! :)

I like it untucked, the peplum is so cute - of course you look divine either way - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteToo tight for what church? I don't think so at all.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the top tucked in
Top out! And I absolutely love it- I saw one similar on Modcloth but this one from Express is less expensive. Is it still available?
ReplyDeleteI like it better tucked in. the skirt has too much volume to add a peplum to the look. It's adorable though! Have a happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteUntucked, for sure! Peplum!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteUntucked for sure, work the peplum while it's still in style!
ReplyDeleteLooks cute both way. Seems like untucked would be more comfortable! And I love the necklace. Enjoy your Easter Sunday! He is risen!!
ReplyDeleteI like both, but the untucked gives a peplum look that is so in right now!
ReplyDeletepeplum untucked for sure! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you can wear ANYTHING. It's kind of annoying. :) I actually don't really care for the outfit (no offense, personal preference only), BUT it looks adorable on you. I think you could throw on a burlap sack, a cute belt, wedges...and we'd all be like, "oh, super cute." Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!!! Love your observance of Easter and that you posted verses! Also, untucked is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe peplum too is way for flattering! The skirt sits up high and with the tucked in shirt makes you appear wide.
ReplyDeleteI meant peplum is more flattering not for! Lol
DeleteUntucked :) And yes, He is risen indeed!!
ReplyDeleteEliminate the belt! The outfit is completely adorable but I think the belt makes the outfit look cheap. The statement necklace is just enough.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the peplum out! Very Easter appropriate. :-)

I like the top both ways, but I think I prefer it tucked in due to the volume of the skirt. I like either the belt or the necklace though. It's a little too busy for me with both. Otherwise, I love the colors and the skirt is divine. It looks very expensive.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you!!

I think the top looks best tucked in, I'm planning on wearing a lilac simple short dress!

This is the perfect Easter outfit! I love the pastel palette and i'd go untucked!brenna
ReplyDeleteNice color combination! I like the peplum worm out with the belt. Very sweet. I like the skirt on you! I was going to wear the buttercup yellow linen pencil skirt from BR (no longer online) and the same color top! However, when my pencil skirt arrived it was too tight across the thighs. It looked fabulous standing...but i gotta sit! Lol. Had to return it today to the store and feel sick about it cause they didn't have the next size up. :( I really don't want to stand all day!
ReplyDeleteI will now be wearing the Charter Club Slim Skirt from Macy's in the color Wet Grass with a purple blouse and a mint green bubble necklace with mint green plastic shoes (I bought them 15 years ago downtown LA and they just now fit...lol).
I love it tucked - you have such a lovely figure and makes it look sleek but girly.
ReplyDeleteHe is risen, indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteThe outfit looks perfect untucked! Happy Easter! xx Pip

Untucked! And I'm wearing the same color combo. Teal/green dress, neon yellow belt, pearls, light coral shoes. Love it! Have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeletei like the peplum untucked!

I LOVE your Easter outfit! I think the top looks adorable both ways, but for some reason untucked is standing out to me more!
ReplyDeleteTucked is actually cute, but I prefer untucked. You get to see the cute flare of the top!
ReplyDeleteUntucked! Btw I love your bible verse :)

cute!! :) untucked looks best!!
ReplyDeletePeplum untucked is so flattering!
ReplyDeleteIt honestly looks really cute both ways... I think I'd go with untucked though!!

Shouldn't peplum tops be worn with a more fitted bottom? I would wear the top with a pencil skirt and the skirt with a tucked in white button down shirt....no belt and shoes, too matchy-matchy. I wore an eyelet dress with cardi.....
ReplyDeleteI meant the belt and shoes with the bows are too matchy-matchy....
ReplyDeleteHi J! I like it untucked. Great color combo. :)
ReplyDeleteThe dresses are so cute and make me long for arm & leg baring weather here in Colorado (almost, but not quite)! I love the cut of the 'skater' dresses. I feel as though they would flatter most figures. Happy Easter!
Love #6!! So fun and whimsical.
ReplyDeleteLove it! J-how did you score that gorgeous statement necklace for $20!!
ReplyDeletenice dress!!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit - untucked for sure. What church do you go to here in Orlando? My husband and I visited Northland today for Easter Service and it was AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteYour minty-blue pastel top............ with your skirt of shimmery-tan, *lurex polka dots* on a lemon-yellow background............ (plus your lovely, feminine necklace; and bow-motif belt & heels)............ are all just *b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.* together!!
ReplyDelete"To tuck or not to tuck?"............ (i.e., like Hamlet's "To be or not to be?," haha!!)............ is something I simply can't answer, because I honestly like BOTH versions of your outfit!! With your peplum top tucked i.n., the TAN contrast waistband of your skirt is then, of course, very visible; and changes the whole "feel" of your outfit............ i.e., from an untucked, very soft, "Feminine Vibe"............ TO............ a tucked-in, somewhat colorblocked, "Preppy Vibe"!! Additionally, with your "tucked-in" version............ the colors of your waistband and skirt, tan and lemon-yellow, are among the "Warmer Colors" (on the Color-Wheel)............ and I can see, then, how you might also be able to style "WARMER-colored" tops, J., with your skirt, too............ e.g., natural linen; cream, pale pink; rose-gold----(like the soft rose-gold-finished studs on your heels!!)----fuchsia; red; coral; peach; etc.!!
i love the color combo but would opt for the less is more approach by tucking in the top and no belt. i love how the waistband matches your shoes and offers the bow detail at the same time. these really are lovely pieces!
ReplyDeletei love both looks on you! I am a little hesitant to try the peplum style bc i have an hour glass shape and fear it will not flatter me.
ReplyDeleteI love your looks, so beautiful! I am totally a fashion newbie and have some probably ridiculous questions -- can you wear wool without tights? And, I have some lighter wool skirts from J Crew and I'm wondering what the season is on those. I live in Minneapolis, so it's just now getting into the 50s. Also, what are your thoughts on nude tights for the summer? I'm so pale!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHeather, not ridiculous at all! I have a wool mini skirt from J.Crew that I have worn with bare legs and flat boots in the winter. I have also worn the same skirt with pumps or flats and a light blouse in the spring and fall, so I think you can get a lot of use out of those skirts. As for hose, I'm personally not a fan of anything that is trying to look like "fake skin" and prefer tights that are obviously not trying to come off as skin. That's just one person's opinion though so do what works for you!! :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I want to say that I appreciate you posting scripture related to our risen Savior. I'm a Christian too and that is one of the reasons I love your blog. I prefer the 1st look.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Saturday when you posted it and fell in love with the outfit. It is so gorgeous. However, I'm plus sized and I thought it would be hard to find some similar items. I was able to score similar items on Lane Bryant. I found a bright chartreuse daisy sateen pencil skirt. I'm thrilled. I can't wait for it to arrive with the tops. I went with the chartreuse theme on top. I saw it on the model and it is not too matchy matchy. With coupons, I scored the whole outfit at a great price. When I get it all put together I will post it. I'm excited.
Thanks so much Mina! Happy (late) Easter! I would love to see the outfit you put together - please be sure to post a link here, or tweet me, or post the picture on my Facebook page so everyone can enjoy it!! :-)
ReplyDeletehow did you get the skirt for $40!? I saw it for $70 today :( By the way - love your blog; literally reference it every chance I get and base my own wardrobe around it!!! I especially love when you post other options for us to buy rather than the one pictured. Love your site so much.
ReplyDeleteLast note: personally, I like it tucked in better - I think it looked more polished and put together, however the untucked peplum looks more trendy. I work at Francescas Boutique and would totally wear the tucked in version of the ensemble.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly! I got the skirt during a 40% off promo they were running in the store!
ReplyDeleteHello J!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and LOVE your site. Soooo I bought this skirt after seeing on you, and now that it's in my possession I have NO idea what to wear it with. Please help!!! Thank you!!!!
I FINALLY found me a yellow bow belt! All the ones for plus size that I found were from China. Seriously! I could live with that but I did not want to wait 4-6 weeks. I found it on elloquii. I hate they are closing but I'm getting some serious deals! I will post my picture. BTW, my real name is Vicky but I have a sort of alias because I'm a teacher and don't want my students stalking me. Sometimes I want a low profile!
ReplyDeleteCaity, there is a link to the Express top in the caption! Let me know if you can't see it for some reason?
ReplyDeleteThat was the in-store price! I never saw it drop below $99 online, but in store prices are almost always WAY cheaper!! I share more saving money tips in this post: http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2011/04/todays-everyday-fashion-secrets-of.html
