Easter Outfit Ideas for Any Budget

[blockquote]We all know that Spring is the time of the year to dress up in bright colors and floral prints, and what better day to do it than on Easter? [/blockquote] Easter is a holiday of celebration of Jesus' life and resurrection and one way we can express ourselves and rejoice is through the way that we dress. Aside from the obvious approach of having our wardrobe reflect our beliefs by dressing in modest attire, we can also intentionally dress in brights to celebrate the spirit behind Easter.

Top Buttons has compiled three Easter outfit ideas that fall in various price ranges and meet the aforementioned description of Spring fashion. We hope this inspires your outfit choice.

All three of these looks are very in touch with the current fashion trends. The central focus of each outfit is of course the dress, while all the accessories shown are just ideas on how you can style it to fit your personality.

  1. Look Number 1 - This whole outfit costs around $63, but chances are that you have a black handbag, a nude shoe, or a floral necklace to accompany the dress. If you don't, then these neutral items are worth investing in because of their versatility. The floral chiffon dress itself is only a $17 investment and can be accessorized with items you already have. To purchase these items: Dress | Necklace | Shoes | HandBag
  2. Look Number 2 - This outfit is a little bit more expensive ringing in at $84, but it's still very classy. It features a floral knee-length body-con dress accompanied gold-toned accessories. The layered bracelets, the ankle-strap on the heels, and the glittered clutch are all eye-popping accents. To purchase these items: Dress | Bracelets | Shoes | HandBag
  3. Look Number 3 - Outfit number three is centered around the sea-green A-line dress. The rose colored earrings accent the look nicely, especially with the coral purse and shoes. It adds a nice contrast. This outfit is on the higher-end of the price range, but similar pieces can be purchased elsewhere. To purchase these items: Dress | Earrings | Shoes | HandBag

[blockquote]It's always important to look your best and present yourself with class -- and that most certainly shouldn't change just because you're going to church. You don't have to wear a dress that goes down to your ankles or clunky penny-loafers to be presentable for church either. Check out these three different -- yet modest and cute -- outfits on a budget![/blockquote] (To see where we found each item of clothing for sale, click on the smaller pictures.)

[blockquote]Part of shopping on a budget and finding good deals means that you compare prices and weigh out your options. Do a Google shopping search to find items at different prices and stores that look alike. Then, check the ratings of the product and site. If you need more tips, feel free to email alexis@topbuttons.org.[/blockquote]

[blockquote]When you are replicating a look, make sure to make it your own. That's why we selected a shirt that's different, but still very inspired. Think about what items in an outfit really stand out to you and WHY! If you really like Carrie's shoes, then find similar ones and create your own outfits centered around that piece.[/blockquote]

[blockquote]This last look can be pulled together from so many basic items in your wardrobe, and since all of the pieces are neutral colors in black, white, and gold, they would be an investment to purchase because you'll be able to wear them again and again. [/blockquote][divider_line]
