Happy Easter! Getting dressed up for Easter goes back to ancient times. But many of us will be celebrating at home today, instead. My church is offering a recorded service, and though in the past few weeks, I have mostly watched in sleepwear, I think I may get dressed for this one. “It's a whole new beginning and we celebrate that newness by going out in new clothes.” - The Oklahoman
I don't know about you, but I could really use the promise of a new beginning right about now. If you do, too, consider celebrating at home by wearing something nicer than you would normally wear. An upgrade.
Even if what you normally wear is loungewear...
Here are three outfit formula ideas for upgrading your loungewear for Easter or any other time you need it.
In the video, Alyssa suggests making use of the loungewear you already have and she uses sweatpants, leggings and a jumpsuit or dress as examples. But what if, for instance, you don't have a blazer (as I don't?) Or a white blouse (as I don't) or a furry vest & belt (you guessed it - I don't)? I am sure that you have something that is upgrade-worthy that you can use and still manage to be comfy at home. I suggest: earrings, scarves, a cardigan, flats or anything that makes an outfit seem that much nicer. I know it may seem like a small thing. What difference does it make to wear something special on this day dedicated to celebrating Easter? Just being part of the celebration is all that matters, right? But to me, upgrading my comfy outfit feels like an expression of hope, and an affirmation of my faith. And you can do this upgrade whenever you need a mood lift, a positive moment in an otherwise difficult day, or a physical demonstration of strength or hope. What will you be wearing? See you tomorrow! Love, Jeanine P.S. Here's What I Decided to Wear...

Beautiful tie into the Easter holiday and our savior. And yes, he wore only white linen robes. Nothing fancy, it was comfortable and practical. And yes, the Romans who did cruxify him were the ones to introduce more dressy apparel- coincidence? hhmmmm......Am I celebrating more those who crucified my savior now if I do get dressed up or am I celebrating the resurrection of our savior? You made me think here....I will end up going out and enjoying hopefully the freshly opening (planted by my father RIP) with my dogs and saying Pawmaste/ Namsaste as we "bow to the divine all around us" and if I from now on find myself in the attempt to go against living in a nasty or outspoken way, or judgy way....I will yell Pawmaste! and do a little bow!Sorry, your post got me thinking philosophical today! THANK YOU! you may have jsut changed my attitude on life!

Right now, I am wearing whatever is warmest. Although the weather is starting to warm up, it still feels awfully cold to me here in Western New York. So I am still layering but am looking forward to the time when i can start shedding a few of those layers.

Staying warm is very important, so I'm glad you're doing that right now. Upgrades might still be possible, but are, of course, optional.

Even though we didn't go anywhere today, I wanted to dress for Easter Mass at the Vatican (on TV) I wore mint green capris, a light pink camo top and a beautiful silver necklace with a topaz stone. Do my colors sound like Easter? Hope you had a blessed Easter Jeanine.
