Time to bring out the Easter finery.......choose
a hat to wear if the sun shines and the showers, and
for some of you snow, stay away.
I love straw hats and have a small collection.

I love straw hats and have a small collection.
These were made for me by a friend many years ago.
I've shared these hat boxes here before. Formerly
flowery patterned boxes from Tuesday Morning, I covered
them in scrap wrapping paper, adding a piece from a very
old French magazine.......that hat looks a lot like mine.
I have this pale green, hand-painted, linen dress to wear,
made by the same talented friend who created the hats.
Sort of timeless in style and perfect with either of
these hats.................
a bit vintage looking, mid-calf
comfy, effortless, and hanging in my closet
for several years. Out it comes again.
It will work just fine if we have a warm, dry day.

Do you dress up at Easter? What will you wear this
year......and are you expecting warm weather?
I love these vintage items and the photograpy is superb ! Lovely.....
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty hats. It will be too cold this year for me to be wearing an Easter bonnet..unless it's a woolen one that covers my ears.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, Easter was always a time for new clothes and pretty shoes. It will be a working day around here so I'll be wearing my work clothes. :) That dress looks comfy. Have a wonderful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteYou will look lovely on Easter wearing a hat and that beautiful dress. I love straw hats, too, and have a few. But you know what? I've got out of the habit of wearing them. I'll have to reinstate them in my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in this week, my friend.

How lovely! Your outfit is going to be both Easter Parade-traditional and completely modern. Fantastic straw hats!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very talented friend! The hats and dress are lovely. I have a hard time finding a hat small enough for my head. With my thin hair, I don't have much to support a hat.
ReplyDeleteYour hats are lovely, Mary. As are the boxes. I rarely wear hats, as I think most do not suit me. I have a wide-brimmed straw hat for summer that I love and feel good in, but that's about it. I won't be wearing a hat for Easter, but I do like to dress up a little.
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather cooperates so you can wear your outfit!
I love your hats and the dress. I hope it is a lovely day so you can wear them both (one hat at a time!). It will no doubt be cool with rain or even snow here. I'll wear something spring coloured and hopefully shoes and not boots! But, no doubt a coat will be in order. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI need to take style lessons from you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look for Easter - timeless.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so charming! How fun to have a friend who makes such lovely things!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you!
The hats are so pretty! Love that dress also. Hope the sun is shining!
ReplyDeleteLove those hat boxes!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I'd wear that dress in a minute! But here in Ontario, I do not expect warm weather at all... at least for Easter. I live on a farm and seldom wear fancy finery. I probably should. Like a good haircut, dressing up is a morale booster!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love your painted linen dress! I'm wondering if it will be warm enough to wear a dress on Sunday. We still have snow on the ground.
ReplyDeleteA lovely outfit, Mary! I share your love of straw hats and comfortable timeless dresses. I like clothes that are a little Out of Africa, a little Merchant Ivory, and a little Urban Outfitters thrown in for good measure. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteNow an Easter bonnet is just so perfect. I hadn't given it a thought, but I guess I should.
ReplyDeleteI have a hat very similar to the hat on top of the hat box. It is tucked away and maybe should come out.
