Happy Easter Lovelies!


Ok so first let me apologize for this suuuuuper late post, but I've been really sick this past week and have been in some major hibernation. So, now that I've finally come out of the cave that is my bedroom, I had to do a post for Resurrection Sunday.  
Let's get the Outfit of the Day out of the way: I think this Easter was the least stressful I've ever had when it came to wardrobe. The only new thing that was bought was this beautiful teal-green dress from H&M. I saw it at the store on Lincoln Road and loved the fit and color. It also came in black, which is my go-to color for everything, but here's to springtime and bright colors. I styled the simplicity of the dress with some cheetah print for extra fun. 
The shades are from zeroUV
Bag: Steve Madden (brand new with tags from Plato's)
Shoes: Jessica Simpson










Although it has been commercialized by the world like so many other holidays , it is important to remember the true meaning behind why we celebrate this day every year. For me, Easter is a reminder of God's perfect gift of love to me. Jesus gave his life for me before I even made the decision to love him back. It amazes me that an almighty God would think to give his life for us. Humans. People who constantly make mistakes, recklessly live in sin, and are always pushing God away. His unconditional love is there for us no matter what, whether we choose to live for him or not, whether or not we answer his call, whether or not we follow his word, and whether or not we listen to his voice. His love never fails; and, the cross is a beautiful reminder.
And he is risen! Alive and living in and through me every day. Because of him, I can live freely. Because of him, I have joy. Because of Jesus Christ, I am complete.


"They hung Him high,
they strecthed Him wide.
He hung His head, and then He died;
that's love, that's love.


That's not how the story ends,
three days later He rose again;
that's love, that's love."
- No Greater Love

Pray for my immune system guys,
Till next time,
Nhadya Simone, The Girl in the Skirt ;)
