Interior designers never let us down when we assign with them with dreaming up a tablescape. We knew this from experience working with Marie Flanigan last fall and Lindsey Herod in the summer months.

Easter Sunday is a day of pastels, lace and ruffles. It seems that many people wear their best outfits. Parents have their children all decked out. I grew up hearing that it was good luck to wear new clothes on Easter Sunday. And while I personally think any reason is a good reason to buy a new outfit, it turns out there is actually some substance to this tradition—and it dates all the way back to the fourth century. When European settlers came to America, they brought the tradition with them. In the 1800s, upper-class citizens of New York City would wear their finest Easter dresses and accessories to the large churches along Fifth Avenue and parade down the street when services ended. Since the mid-1800s, the New York Easter parade has grown into a full-blown annual celebration complete with Easter dresses, costumes, and bonnets of all kinds.

It's not clear exactly when the superstition started, but from this early tradition came the belief that if you were in a position to buy new clothes for Easter, you would continue to be blessed with good fortune in the coming year. On the flip side, those who could afford to buy new clothes but chose not to would experience a year of bad luck. As this belief spread throughout Europe, the saying, "For Christmas, food and drink; for Easter, new clothes" became popular.

So whether you're hosting Easter brunch or celebrating a quiet Sunday at home, take this as a reason to treat yourself to a new outfit this spring. We have so many amazing dresses at Meadow Boutique, so stop by and grab your new Easter attire. We are certain you will find something to wear for the occasion.

This week at Meadow Boutique, our dresses are from LUSH, SM WARDROBE, BY THE RIVER, & MADE WITH LOVE. There is a new pair of denim from SNEAK PEEK in a black wash. Some flowery tops from MINE and much, much more. See below for the fashion that has come our way. We also received some of the best hair clips in all different colors for Spring. I am always amazed that they are only $5.

We wish you a hip-hoppity Easter full of love and pastels and colored eggs. Let’s hope our weather steps up for the occasion. It felt so good to have 70 degree weather last week. Bring on the sun and the dresses and the sandals. We are ready for the warmth of Spring! Can’t wait to see you and help you find a dress. After all, it will bring you good luck for the season ahead.
