Shopping for an Easter outfit is probably most stressful on the woman. The options are endless, as are the silhouettes, patterns, and colors. Throw in the need for shoes and accessories, and shopping for an Easter outfit can be a highly stressful event. I even found a dress i liked, then went to another store and found one I liked better. I ended up taking the first back. I still have to find shoes and accessories to match. It can simply be a stressful event.

As with the guy in the family, how dressed up you get depends on where you are going. If it is a casual family event, don’t stress out too much. Some cute Bermuda shorts with a matching top makes a great outfit. Pair it with some cute wedges and simply jewelry for a family-friendly casual outfit.

If it is a casual church you are going to, consider a sundress or skirt with matching top. Capris and a blouse are another great option. Pair any of these outfits with some great sandals and accessories and you’ve got it made.

A formal church is where it gets more difficult. A dress is the most common outfit, but is also the hardest to fit. If you find a dress you love, but the fit is off a bit, simply get it tailored to fit. You can go the separates route, with a skirt and blouse. Simply pick a skirt that is dressy enough for the occasion. Classic, heeled sandals and matching accessories will complete the ensemble.

Don’t stress too much about the outfit. Find something you love, are comfortable in, and know you will wear again. I picked out a great dress from New York and Company that will work perfectly for going to church with my family and later on for a date night with my husband. I still have to find the shoes and accessories, but I just keep reminding myself the sales get better the closer it gets to Easter.

Business casual for him is pretty cut and dry. Slacks and a button-up/polo/sweater. Make sure to wear somewhat dressy shoes.

If you wanted to look a little extra nice, a sports coats is great. Pair a blue blazer with a patterned undershirt for a classic, sophisticated look. Just make sure the jacket fits correctly. The sleeves should end at the base of the thumb and the bottom of the jacket should be longer than the sleeves.

Day to Night: If your office is business casual, you’re set! If you’re office is a suit and tie kind of place, the easiest thing to do is to take off the tie and jacket. Have fun!

A step down from formal wear is business casual. While not truly casual, business casual allows you a small bit of comfort, while still dressing up.

For a girl, business casual often constitutes slacks or skirt and a nice top. Classic, straight-leg slacks make for a nice clean line and work for nearly every body type.

Now, since it is a Christmas party, you can have a little more fun with the top – just don’t go overboard. A little shimmer, maybe some detailing (such as beads) but that’s about it. Avoid low cut necklines and tops that are too casual.

Day To Night: Since most offices are business casual, this is pretty cut and dry. For a more formal outfit, simply pair a suit jacket over your top (make sure it is an office appropriate top).
