Happy Monday sweet friends! Today I have a jumpsuit and my Easter tiered trays to share with you, both of which make me happy and that’s good since we are in full on let down mode. The kids left yesterday and it’s back to life in a quiet house. Thankfully we’ll be heading to Nashville the end of next month to celebrate Benny’s birthday and watch him run his first marathon (on his birthday). That makes the sting of sending Katie and Luke back just a little less painful. Having grown kids is so fun, but I do miss the days of having them around all the time.
Before we get to the rest of the post, thank y’all for entering the Smile Brilliant giveaway. I wanted to announce who the winner is….Erin Richardson. Yes, she does have the same last name as me and yes, she does just so happen to be my daughter-in-law. I promise, the winner was picked by the people at Smile Brilliant and I’m just thrilled she won it and so is she. Crazy, but true.
Can you say windy? We’ve been having a lot of that and rain making it really hard to get pictures. It was also cold the day I took these, so I should get bonus points for that. HA!
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect jumpsuit for sometime now and I’m still looking. This one is cute and I do really like it, but it wasn’t “the one”. I did want to share it with you though, because who knows…it might be just what you’re looking for and it’s 50% off.
There are lots of things to love about this jumpsuit, starting with pockets. I’m not sure what it is about us girls, but we love our pockets. It also has adjustable straps which can make or break a jumpsuit. So as I’m typing this I wondering why am I not head over heels in love with this baby?
Of course I had to try it with one of my favorite transition pieces, my denim jacket. This one is made by KUT and is such a great fabric. Very soft, stretchy and lightweight. It’s available in a light denim or a darker version.
An outfit is only as good as it’s accessories, am I right? These strappy block heel sandals (on sale and well stocked) would be darling, I can’t tell you how much I wear my stone pendant necklace and of course my Kendra Scott earrings. Each of these pieces are totally worth investing in. I’m always hesitant when getting ready to add a piece, but I can promise you, you will wear these over and over and over.

Now let’s talk tiered trays. I am obsessed with mine and having the best time switching them out seasonally. The good news is that after the initial investment and a year of seasonal changes, you are good to go. These trays make such a cute statement. I actually have two and I’m considering a third. You don’t have to look very far for ideas or inspiration either because they are all over blogland and Pinterest. Check my Tiered Tray Board if you need ideas.
Are those sweet little bunnies the cutest or what? I got the last set they had at our Michael’s.Andrea told me about them. She has a love for tiered trays that rivals mine and our group of girls from our Nashville trip are always sharing and comparing our tiered trays all decked out. The cupcake stands are from Hobby Lobby and I had to go to two to find all 3 colors, but it was definitely worth the extra effort.
So here’s my wooden tray from all sides. So much cute stuff, and the good news is that all of these little finds are rather inexpensive. For tips and tricks on getting started, check this post and I have a video saved in my highlights on Instagram.
My wood tray is now available in white and black too.
My other tray is a metal tray with three tiers. I love them both and I’m not sure which is my favorite.
Speaking of my Nashville girls…which is super misleading. I now have two groups of Nashville girls. The ones who live there and my blogging buddies I met up with there. A few of us are doing a blog hop sharing our tiered trays today, so be sure to check out Laura, Andrea, and Shelly’s all dolled up for spring.
If you want to get in on the action, here are so many fun things all rounded up to make it super easy for you.

Well, you made my MONDAY with 3 of my favorite things..jumpsuits, tiered trays and YOU!!! I am smiling because we linked several of the same things but you did a waaaay better job than me really getting to the nitty gritty of how to decorate a tray!! Look at all this goodness! The polka dot bunny bowl...so cute!!! Now that jumpsuit...you found such a good one and of course the jean jacket perfection going on with it!!! Those KS earrings..so good! YOU look so GREAT!! Oh and back to the tray..the cabbage...I almost got one..brilliant. YOU ROCK!!!! xoxoxoxo
You are such a doll!!! I could never do a better job than you, my friend and I owe you a huge thanks for sharing those precious bunnies and little cupcake stands. They make the trays! XOXO
Love the jumpsuit ! I just happened to purchase two online from Amazon over the weekend. I'm barley 5 ft and a bit concerned that I will look awkward. You always look fabulous and I love it with the jean jacket over top. Now.... you're tiered tray looks great, I left my tiered trays with my daughter when we moved last summer. Thinking that I may need to go over there and snatch mine up so I can decorate a tiered tray. So much fun !
Thanks Tammy! I loved the one you shared on IG yesterday too. I’m like you and kept seeing that one last year and thought it was darling! Go get your tiered trays. I love mine!!! XO
I am declaring you the queen of the tiered trays! I love all the spring decor, and also how you put links to everything at the end. And how was I not already following you on Pinterest? I bet your house feels so quiet right now! Grace was gone a lot this weekend, and I was feeling a little sad thinking of how it will be in just a little over a year. Hope you have a great week!
Well thank you Tanya!!! Now you’ve got me wondering if I’m following you on Pinterest. I’m going to check and make sure. Yes, my house is quiet…and a little lonely, but I’ll get used to it again. Katie asked when are we moving to Nashville. I’m happy she wants us there. Now I just have to wait out my time?
That jumpsuit is so cute on you and hooray for vertical stripes! I know you are bummed about the kids leaving, it's tough. Thank goodness you have just a few weeks till ya'll head there and it will be here before you know it.
Your trays are so cute - I love that cabbage on the first one near the bunny! Well done my friend!
xo,
Kellyann
You’re so sweet and yes, vertical stripes are great!
I am wondering the same thing about your jumpsuit - what did you not love about it? I think it looks pretty fabulous on you! And your Easter try turned out darling! Such cute pieces. I love that mini bird's nest!

Thanks Gina! I just didn’t feel great in it…and I’m trying to only buy things I truly love and will wear?
I am a fan of jumpsuits but I can relate to not falling in love with most that I see. A jumpsuit is hard to pull off I think so if there's one thing that looks off even though there are others that crosses off the box, it will go back. Keeping my fingers crossed you find the "one". These tiered trays are nice. It's a great decoration piece and love how you did this one for Easter.

Thanks Maureen! You are absolutely right. Wearing one is a stretch and if I’m going to do it, I want to feel great in it! Happy Tuesday!
We really are on the same wavelength, Lisa. I just bought a jumpsuit yesterday. But I did wonder why you didn't love it?? Come on...inquiring minds want to know???
XOXO

Thanks Jodie. I just didn’t feel that great in it. A jumpsuit is a stretch anyway and I want to feel awesome in it.?
Oh, love the tiered trays, just so cute and I am loving mine for sure. Jumpsuits seem to be "the thing" and that one is really cute on you but I'm betting you will find "the one" that makes you real happy. Have a happy one!
Thanks Lea! I got a couple more to try. Fingers crossed. (I’m built so weird it’s a challenge. LOL) I loved your tiered tray. Super cute!
I am on the hunt for a jumpsuit too! Your s looks fab with the denim jacket!
Thank you Nancy! Hope you find one you love!
That jumpsuit is adorable on you! Love the stripes! I'm also loving your Easter decor on your tired trays!
