It's been a while since the last time we had a good excuse to dress up. So even though Easter may still be more than two weeks away, we're already planning our outfits.
Thankfully, style expert Amy E. Goodman just gave us plenty of fashion inspiration for the whole family. She dressed seven kids in cute and casual outfits that are perfect for the holiday — but don't worry parents, there's outfit inspo for you, too.
For Theo, 4, and his brother Oliver, 7, Goodman went with a retro '70s-inspired theme that has formal elements but is fun enough to be worn while on the hunt for eggs. For 8-month-old Logan, 3-year-old Christian, 7-year-old Maeve and their parents, Kerri and Dane, Goodman dressed in vacation-ready apparel. Even though we may not be traveling this year, clothes can transport us. Finally, best friends Talia, 8, and Jolie, 9, got to match in desert-themed outfits, and who doesn't love twinning with their BFF?
To get the looks for your own family celebration, scroll through each of the outfits below.
