Sunday Showcase: Mothers Day Brunch Dresses
Mother’s day is coming up! Will you dress up and wear a favorite outfit? Will you dress down and wear something cozy? Today, I am sharing one of my dresses that would be one of my top 3 choices to wear. I have worn this dress to a wedding as well as this year Pascha’s night matins and Liturgy. My mom gave it to be a couple of years ago and I really felt pretty wearing it on this occasion. Don’t forget to stop by Ada’s blog to see more about her outfit details! She is wearing the cutest spring dress with her daughters and love how sweet they look.
I took advantage of a planned visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with my friend to take some pictures and I was surprised at how comfortable I felt wearing this beautiful dress. I think choosing comfortable footwear was important and I am now thinking of getting a membership here once my Georgia Aquarium one expires. There are different art exhibits in the gardens throughout the year (I will share the coming up Origami exhibit next week) and seeing the different plants and flowers bloom throughout the year would just be beautiful.
This dress is made by and is a size 4. Thankfully I fit more easily in it this year than last year but I do need to watch what I eat after this past week enjoying more dairy and meat than I am used too. Thankfully I ran 3 times to help balance that!
I love the flow of the dress when I walk and the color is just gorgeous! I got a couple compliments at the gardens and it has inspired me to dress up next time I go visit! I am wearing grey sandals and silver grey Nickel and Suede earrings. I am wearing a straw circle purse I have had for a couple of years now. It is a little small for carrying a lot but I do like it during spring and summer.
Here is a peek of my sandals. They are made by Blowfish and are fun and edgy and comfortable. I found them on clearance at a local boutique. What are your plans for Mother’s day? We are planning to take my mom out (my dad too) to a local Mexican restaurant my neighbors own. They have the yummiest authentic tacos.
My husband has to leave town for a conference that afternoon so I probably will change to something comfy and go for a walk or a run or a hike with the boys. I am going to tell them that it is Mother’s day and they HAVE to come! But I will make sure to bring snacks, water and make it a short one!
I thought this was the coolest sculpture! It is a permanent part of the botanical gardens and is made of glass. It is so tall and makes such a statement! I actually thought that is was a really brush plant from afar and didn’t realize how tall it was.
The boys enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to coming back when more plants are in bloom: I think we might have to come back in May. We are very thankful for my friend who has a membership that allowed all of us to go for free!
Here is another look at Ada and her beautiful daughters!
I really like that Ada’s and I style of dresses are very different to show that you need to find what you are comfortable in and enjoy wearing whether it is a favorite style (Ada has a lot of baby doll dresses, I don’t have a single one) or a color (we both love colors) and a length (I wear all lengths). Try different things and see what makes you smile!

This color looks so good on you and the dress is absolutely stunning! Having a membership to a botanical garden would be a dream come true! Wish I lived closer to one! Botanical gardens are one of my most favorite places to visit!

This is such a pretty maxi dress on you! I love maxi dresses as an instant outfit to make me feel pretty and pulled together, so perfect for mother’s day! I haven’t planned what I will wear for Mother’s Day yet but it probably will be a pretty dress!

That is a lovely dress! I haven’t given any thought to mother’s day yet. Usually we dress down and head out kayaking but it isn’t even supposed to reach 60 this year so… maybe a hike?!

Kayaking sounds fun! We need to go down the river one of these days!

Mireille, this is such a beautiful dress! I love this color on you. And your sandals are really cute and edgy! I like a lot of Blowfish sandals for that reason but I never seem to be able to find that brand in my size. The pictures with your boys are so lovely and that glass scultpure is really cool! Wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day, my friend!

Third time is the charm and I get to comment!! YEAY!
This has been one of my favorite collaborations we have ever done and my favorite Mommy+Me post yet where I got to introduce my littlest babe.
As I told you I love love love this dress on you. You absolutely killed it. Such a gorgeous color and print. Like you I love all colors, prints and lengths and you are right: I love a good babydoll dress. The icing on the cake for me was the photo at the end with 3 of your sons. What a nice surprise! I am stealing that one for our reel. Looking forward to it on Mother’si Day! Also, the location of your photos is simply beautiful. Very Instagram and Blog-worthy for sure!

Glad I figured it out! Love it when we dress up for our posts, it’s nice to feel so pretty!

Thank you, Carol! It is probably my prettiest dress! I do have a new floral one that I am sharing in a couple of weeks that I love too. But this one’s color is just perfect!

Thank you so much! I am now wondering why I haven’t wore it more since my mom gave it to me. Probably because it fits better this year!
Gail
Utterly fabulous! I’ve pinned that dress. You both look fantastic, and enjoyed the IG Reel. Thanks for linking.

Thank you, Gail! I am trying to branch out a little bit with the reels and I really loved wearing that dress!
