I wore this outfit for Easter Brunch at our house. It wasn't really fancy enough for Easter, but it was comfortable & I was cooking. While the GB house brands fit me fine in a 4x, I am usually more comfortable when I size up. I wish the colors in this dress had been brighter, & as always, I wish GB would release their dresses in tall versions, this is entirely too short to be worn without teggings. I thought the pattern was fabulously fun, & of course I liked the orange & green.
Kate brought sparkling wine to drink & we had gotten some Cava at Costco to make mimosas, because brunch is all about the mimosas. So much food! The girlie bought these chocolate bunnies & 3 peanut butter eggs after farmers' market the day before, & we completely forgot to put them on the table...
We started off with bagels & lox and a lovely braided ginger sweet bread Angie created. I made 2 new egg dishes, Asparagus & 2 Cheese Quiche with Hash Brown Crust & Spinach Quiche. Super Boo made ham on the grill. There was also asparagus & hollandaise and roasted potatoes with garlic & rosemary.
Kate made fruit salad with ginger lime sauce. And elly & Josh brought an adorable Easter egg cake.
The cinnamon roll is just a cream cheese frosting vehicle.

Orange and leopard print were made for each other. Those sandals are lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leah! Orange & leopard are everything.
DeleteBrunch is so underrated. It feels so luxe and ladylike. Your spread looks delicious, especially that asparagus quiche. Omg - yum! I am also a fan of mimosas. And bloody mary's. And those chocolate bunnies are the sweetest! I love fancy parties with friends, especially when everyone brings their own dish to contribute. It makes it so special.
ReplyDeleteI like to dress up for holidays too, even if I'm going to be in the kitchen all day. I'd probably do like you did - throw on an easy printed dress (it hides the stains!) and accessorize the heck out of it to step it up a bit! Thanks for sharing!

Brunch is basically my favorite thing ever. And I'm lucky to have friends who are marvelous cooks.
