Navy dresses and fun in the sun! (p2)

If any occasion should be needed as an excuse to wear cute outfits, I would like to use Easter as one, this year. I usually do the same thing every year : we have a huge brunch with the family, stay in all day and watch Ben Hur, The Passion of the Christ or some other Christ-related movie.
Lots of fun, truly, but this year, the sun screamed for a change!

Unfortunately my mom had to visit my grandmother (to take care of her), my in laws were on vacay and my halfsister's boyfriend is muslim, so there was no brunch to attend. I could have set one up with my boyfriend, but he isn't into the true spirit of Easter, which is Christ's resurrection, that's why I'd put that idea aside. I was watching the Urbi et Orbi quietly when I realized I couldn't do 'nothing' on such a special and sunny day. My best friend didn't have a brunch as well, that's why we decided to have the ultimate fun in the sun. An Easter picknick. We would go to a flowery field nearby the beach. bring some bread, wine and celebrate. It would be sober, simple and respectful. Amazing plan!

Turned out different though. I couldn't possibly dress in a modest way with weather above 75 degrees! And I didn't feel like sipping on just water either. Plans change in a second...

I decided to wear one of the navy dresses I wrote about (the military style), my bikini underneath, my Christian Louboutin N. Prive slingbacks (the first Loubs I ever got, back in 2007) and I was good to go. I brought some potato chips, nuts, iced tea, a smoothie, premixed Mojito and nailpolish. I didn't have any wine in the house and stores were closed in my area. Such a bummer.

But Saffira, the friend that I was going to have this picknick with, had the chance to pick up some Jillz and premade sandwiches at her local store, which was open. PERFECT!

Above you can see a picture of me during the start of our picknick. 

It was the first time I had Jillz, but it was actually kinda nice. Not as gross a beer as I'd expected it to be. I might even buy it again for another beachy day. The sandwiches were an exquisite choice of her as well. There were 5 sorts and of each sort, there were 2 sandwiches. So we got to taste all of them and still not overeat ourselves. I especially loved one with little chocolate pieces! (You see one missing in the following picture, because I ate it...*lol*)

If I look back, we didn't really have a proper Easter celebration, but we did have a great day! And even though I did realize the true meaning and I can't say I honored the day by drinking cocktails in a bathing suit, I haven't been a hypocrite either....  

This Easter is one I won't forget soon! Maybe not ever... And I didn't even have 1 chocolate egg!
