If you've been following fancy francy for a while, then you've probably noticed our obsession err umm fondness for UK bloggers, UK stores, and overall UK fashion. So you can imagine our excitement when we heard one of our favorite online UK stores was crossing over the pond (so to speak) and launching a US version of their site, MissguidedUS.

If you're not familiar with Missguided yet, it's a fast fashion site, that stocks a lot of the latest trends but at a reasonable price. We fell in love with them because of their "badass" vibe, trendy clothes, and overall dopeness. True to many UK stores, they seem to have their pulse right on the latest fashions and often stock killer trends before it hits other mainstream stores.

Francy Answers: What to Wear for Easter Sunday

Dressing for holidays and special occasions can sometimes be difficult, chances are you are you going to be surrounded by friends and family you haven't seen in a while and want to look your best. I myself am a firm believer in wearing my "Sunday Best" every Easter, and enjoy looking back on photos of everyone dressed up for the special day.

This year I can't think of a better combo then a beautiful floral print piece paired with a pretty pastel. Whether you have big plans for tomorrow or will just be having a quiet Easter with family or friends, I've put together two looks that are sure to help you look great as you celebrate the day.

The key to this first look is to start off this look with a nice white blouse. Since you are going to be wearing a bold print as well as a bright pastels, you always want to make sure you are wearing a solid color neutral to tone down the look and  you can go for one with details like in the above example of pair it with a simple plain white blouse.
