Every woman needs a dress that you can throw on and you instantly feel beautiful. During the fall and winter little black dresses do the trick, but in the spring and summer something bright and airy is what I gravitate toward.

Rebecca Taylor always makes me feel so pretty. She designs feminine and fashionable clothes that always fit me well. Neiman Marcus carries her designs, and anytime I'm in that store I will run straight to the CUSP section and shop her clothes.

I'm still in my post-partum body phase, so loose dresses are best for me. I like designs that cut in at the shoulders because it balances my chest and mid-section. The midi length is great for my mom lifestyle where I'm always playing on the floor.

I also love that I can wear a fancy dress like this one and then pair it with some simple Old Navy sandals. I've never been one to wear head to toe designer, but I do love having special pieces in my closet that are quality and feel special.

Today not only marks the first official day of spring (Happy Spring Equinox!!) but it's also just a week until Easter. What a lovely time of year it is. This Easter I'm looking forward to lots of family time and some artsy Easter eggs (maybe these ?). Since I was young I always got a kick out of dressing up for Easter as it meant being able to wear my new sundress, or at least something fun and frilly. This year I'm rounding up my favorite spring Easter dresses so you can spend your time searching for hidden eggs, not the perfect dress... They all have a very modern vibe to them while still remaining feminine. The dresses below would look great paired with a pair of white single soled stilettos, or a chic pink block heel.
