The Fab 40s - Inspired by Water.

Happy Monday, the last one of April. How is it that we are one third through this year?! I guess it's a good thing. Today the fabulous ladies of the Fab 40s are styling looks Inspired by Water because April Showers, right?! This beautifully metaphoric theme was chosen by the lovely Suzy. All of our looks couldn't look any more different - that's what I love about Fashion. Everyone can interpret fashion differently. The look I chose is actually what I wore for Easter this year, back on April 4th, when it was totally Springy! So let's focus on my outfit, which is...

INSPIRED  BY  WATER.

There are several ways this outfit is inspired by water: the aqua color of the dress, the shape of the dress - which looks like an open umbrella, ready for me to catch the rain - the tiers of the dress further emulate the shape of an umbrella whether it is open or closed, and of course adding to the water inspiration, I am surrounded by water (the pond) and water animals (ducks and geese). The leopard spots on my toes can be thought of as more dots: giant, fancy big water dots created by water and mud. My teal beaded bracelet also has elements of aqua in it: like water drops! Also let's not forget about the water reflection beautifully shown through the water. So with all these references to water and to rain, I truly think I nailed it!! My dress - by the way - is by none other than Target. I have only shopped Target once all through 2021 (yeay me!!) and this is one of the 3 dresses I picked up. I linked my exact dress on the widget at the bottom of this post, alongside 3 other pretty blueish-green tiered dresses, also by Target. My dress comes in coral too. I love the brocade floral woven pattern of the material.

WHAT  WE  WORE  FOR  EASTER  2021.

So these bright dresses is what Vivian and I wore for Easter 2021. We spoke about my aqua dress inspired by the water, first. Now let's spotlight on sweet Vivian. This light pink dress with the ruffled hemline is Vivian's Easter Dress from this year. I purchased it last year via Amazon - it's such a cute piece! I love the little gold+white sequined bunny with the 2 hearts on top. This dress paired so well with the metallic gold knotted headband and her pinkish-coral sparkly textured graphic sneakers with the fun tulle ice creams on top. I love how much fun Vivian's outfit is with all the textures and sparkles, and of course the Easter bunny makes it festive and Eastery. What do you think of our Easter looks?! What colors do you tend to wear for Easter?! Do you think my dress is inspired by water?! I think it is.

This was our fabulous Easter dinner cooked by the babe. He is a delightful chef. This New York strip was a perfectly-cooked Medium Rare. Doesn't it look delish?!

CHECK  OUT  MY  STYLISH  SISTERS.

DAENEL from Living Outside the Stacks.

I can see Daenel's way of "Inspired by Water" and "April Showers" in two ways: the flowers on her top - you need rain and water for those flowers to grow - and the dark denim bell bottoms - which are a shade of blue, and blue is also a shade of water.

SHELBEE from Shelbee on the Edge.

Shelbee killed it in not one but two pieces of watercolor. Her joggers and tunic are mismatched yet they beautifully match because of the different nuances of water in them. It's like watermarks for clothes!

SUZY from The Grey Brunette.

In ivory, silver, sapphire and ceylan blue, we got Suzy looking dressy, elegant, casual and cool all at once. It is always Suzy's fabulousity of accessories that get me! In love with her layers of blue beads, even more shades of water!
