It’s no surprise that I love to dance. From my many Insta Stories to my TikTok (@blushandblooms), I have been sharing my love of dance throughout social media. Another part of my life that I haven’t shared as much is music. I come from a musical family; my mother plays the clarinet, my sister plays the drums, my grandfather was in the Ohio State Marching Band (TBDBITL), and other members of my family play the trombone, violin, guitar, flute, and the piano. My dad doesn’t play any instruments but he likes to draw and paint– a few of his paintings and drawings are hung up around my parent’s house. As for me, I am not as well-versed as other members of my family when it comes to playing instruments, but I can play the piano….well, beginners and intermediate.

Since we have nowhere else to go for Easter besides from the couch to the dinner table, you may not want to dress up this year for the holiday. However, we have been living in sweats with our hair in scrunchies for the past month that Easter is a great excuse to get dressed up. No, you do not have to get dressed to the nines, but maybe a cute jumpsuit or dress would make you feel put together and chic again. I recently bought this jumpsuit and am planning on wearing it for dinner in my parent’s dining room. Heck, I may even wear it while watching Sunday service via steaming. Here are a few comfortable yet chic options to wear on Easter no matter what you are doing to celebrate.
