No Easter Bonnet

My family is not the religious sort. On my and my husband's side we are blends of Jewish, Christian Scientist, Methodist, Unitarian Universalist and Athiest. Easter for us is about drinking wine on the porch and having a mid-day meal together, not church and all that. This means my attire this weekend was far more scaled-down:

Saturday
Saturday was lunch at my husband's aunt's house. Sharing wedding videos and photographs of babies and recent travels. Buffet meal of ham, homemade mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon and brown sugar baby carrots and field green salad with strawberries.

I wore my denim trousers from Ann Taylor with my coral gauzey baby doll tunic with the crocheted lace trim. Chunky turquoise necklace from Target and tan leather heeled sandals from Target.

Hair was beachy/wavy thanks to the Marc Anthony Strictly Curls line. Gel and Pantene thickening spray to damp hair, Humidity spray to dried hair and a curling iron to the unruly parts and BioSilk over the whole thing to make it soft.

Makeup was L'Oreal True Match foundation (went to look up the color, it's not on the package, it jsut says "cool"), MAC stick concealer, Chanel powder. Touch of Bare Escentuals Warmth on t he cheeks as bronzer. Lashes curled and two coats of MAC X mascara in black. Ivory shadow from Stila in corners of eyes and Lancome Juicy Tubes in Exposure on the lips. Very subtle.

Sunday
Sunday was a mid-afternoon early supper at my cousin's house. We watched their wedding video, played with their new puppies and hung out on the deck overlooking the woods. Meal of ham, turkey, homemade rolls, Kentucky greenbeans, spring mix salad with strawberries, homemade mashed potatoes (sounds similar, huh?).

Brown merino 3/4 sleeved v-neck from The Gap. Ivory sueded trousers from Ann Taylor. Two chunky turquoise necklaces from Target. Silver cuff bracelet. Tan thong heels from Target.

Hair was second-day dirty, jsut a few shots of the curling iron to make it look less like dreadlocks (my cousin's 15 year old hipster daughter in her True Religion jeans told me my hair was "tres cool looking").

Makeup was the same as the day prior - very basic and subtle.
