Southern Bourbon Mountains: troubadour

Easter 2013. Seersucker suit because it was FREEZING. And a watering can duck because he said so.

With my Mom being in town the past two weeks we did a lot of window shopping and man it has me wishing for warmer weather. (And tanner skinnier legs).

Easter 2012...a gorgeous WARM Easter in Asheville with yard lounging and rose drinking...

I realized Easter is less than a month away and I need to get on it! Easter Dresses were always a big deal around my house as a kid. My Aunt would send me a gorgeous frock from France or England (she had four boys and was desperate to get somebody all dolled up) and let me tell you...these dresses were out of this world!

I cannot find this on the Vineyard Vines site. Help!

My one rule about an Easter Dress is it must be light colors! NO BLACK on Easter! And really no RED. Yuck. Easter is a celebration and also the first time you are officially allowed to bust out your linen/seersucker/straw. (Unless you live in Florida)

Here are some beautiful options for Easter this year! Let's hope it isn't abysmally cold like last year! (I'm talking to you Asheville)

Lilly Pulitzer Piper Shift Dress $328

A few notes: I love Lilly, but this year has underwhelmed me. I love this dress but up close it looks like little daisies (hate daisies on clothes). Also what the hell is up with her hair? Walk of Shame comb-over? I want a huge fucking smile on this chick and some cute earrings.

Abby Peplum Sheath $198

Another Lilly Tip-Do NOT try on the Robyn dress by Lilly this year. It is TERRIBLE! And smile, this is Lilly for Shit's sake!

Anthropologie Emaline Dress $198

This is by far the darkest dress I will post but I just adore the pattern and the cut. I probably wouldn't wear to an Easter Church Service but I couldn't leave it out because it is gorgeous.

Anthropologie Grass Tweed Shift $295
