Moody Style: Late to the Party

I know that I’m a little late to the party posting about the Peter Pilotto collection for Target, but it’s better late than never right? Well I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t one of the thousands of people that went to a Target store to shop this collection the morning it launched.  I figured that I would wait until the collection went on sale and find at least something from the leftovers.  When I first tried on some of the pieces in the collection, I wasn't a big fan mostly because of the sizing and cut of the items. But this dress worked out perfectly for me.  When I bought it last month, I was able to snag this dress for 30% off the original price. Which was great at the time.  Now that I look back on my purchase, I realize it’s not a huge victory considering the rest of the collection is now 50% off the original price.  Oh well, I have to look on the bright side.  If I waited too long, then I probably wouldn’t have found my size, right?  Anyways, if any of you are still looking for any pieces from this Target collaboration, then click here and shop Peter Pilotto for Target now.  Did any of you jump on the bandwagon with the Peter Pilotto collection for Target?  What was your favorite piece from the collection? Let me know in the comments.

Here are 5 quick and easy ways to celebrate Earth Day:

1. Plant a tree or a garden

2. Use reusable bags

3. Pick up litter

4. Take shorter showers

5. Carpool, walk or ride a bike

Moody Style: Easter Traditions

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Did any of you have any special plans?  I wish that I had something planned for Easter this year, but all I ended up doing was working most of the day.  I did however make it to the first church service at 7:30am.  Where there were surprisingly tons of families with little children dressed in their Sunday best.   After seeing all of those families in church this morning, I was a little nostalgic for those Easter traditions my family had while I was growing up.

Our family traditions involved getting Easter baskets with the obligatory chocolate bunny, jelly beans and crazy colored grass, dying eggs, hunting eggs filled with chocolate foiled wrapped eggs, dressing up in fancy dresses for church and eating a family dinner together.  As my sisters and I got a little older, the traditions tapered off to just attending church and family dinners.  Now that everyone in my family is working and off doing their own thing, we barely get together for Easter anymore.

I know that things never really stay the same, but it would be nice to get some of the old traditions back.  I guess this is something that I need to work on for next Easter.  I hope you and your family enjoyed your holidays and holiday traditions.  Is Easter a big holiday for your family or do you keep it small? Let me know in the comments.
