What to wear for Easter brunch at a nice restaurant?

Cilleena

My family usually goes to a nice restaurant for brunch on Easter. I was going to wear my black wrap dress with black sling back heels and pearls. Question is, what to wear on my legs? It's too cold to go bare-legged yet and I keep hearing that nude hose are out of vogue. Nude fishnets? Where to you find them? I've never seen them around here.

Also, what jacket would work best? Beige trench, white jacket or blue denim jacket. Or red leather blazer?

I think I'd go with the red blazer to add some color for easter, as long as the cut of the blazer works with that dress.

I'm not sure about the hose issue. I've found nude fishnets at Kohl's actually.. and of course Macy's and Nordstrom would carry them.

I've been in a quandry about Easter as well. I don't want to look like I'm dressed for the dead of winter, but often on Easter it still feels like it!

Lovely dress! Yes to nude hose. Nordies carries Oroblu fishnets in nude. They also have some other very nice nude hose options (patterned, e.g. a super nice floral one, all in nude.)

Beautiful dress on you, I just picked up some Oroblu nude fishnets actually! Might have to order online. I think I would have to see them to tell you for sure, but might go with a white jacket. Perhaps you have a fun colored heel you could put on with this?

That dress is very pretty on you. If it's really cold, you might layer regular nude hose under nude fishnets for warmth. I love nude fishnets and found some at Marshalls that are a microfishnet, but that was months ago.
To lighten up the black for Easter, could you add a flower pin to your white jacket? It could be white, black and white or even black.

Amy, hehe, no colored shoes, unless cordovan is a color. Ok, I have red crocs, but I don't think they would work. LOL!

But, I have a teal bag, that may add the pop of color I would need if I decide on the white jacket.

I know the red leather jacket will work. It was originally purchased 5 years ago to go with a black dress. The jacket was made for a dress. I'll probably let the weather decide since the white jacket is 3/4 sleeves and much cooler than the leather blazer.

Nice idea with the flower pin, Joy!

I would wear the white jacket, i think ,and i love nude fishnets. you can get them at target in a pinch or from hue online. i love the idea about a flower pin for the jacket, perhaps something with a pearly center to go with your jewelry? and it could certainly be a color, if you have a teal bag, even a pale pink or other pale color would be nice. the dress is cute too!

White jacket + teal bag + black shoes/heels would look lovely!
