I wore this outfit for (Orthodox) Easter Sunday, which was also coincidentally the first day of May. And a beautiful day at that, so it felt appropriate to bust out my thrifted Nanette Lepore floral eyelet dress. The details are very pretty, especially for a $7 score:

I paired it with my lightweight J. Crew Liberty print blazer, and my thrifted Stuart Weitzman peep toes. I always forget that brown goes well with navy, and then have an “a ha” moment when I realize it all over again. It’s a good option while the Hunt For Navy Shoes continues. I won’t lie though — part way through the day (which involved two separate family get-togethers, a bunch of running around, and even a thrifting trip), I switched to flats. I’m all about the illusion of mile long legs — thanks, platform heels — but I’m also a big fan of comfort. Hashtag: no shame in my flats game.

  1. I love this outfit so much that I might have to recreate it! I recently found that blazer, and I also have a navy cotton eyelet dress (albeit from J.Crew Factory).
