#NoteToSelf : Be A Best Dressed Wedding Guest In eShakti Customized Dress

Ever found a dress in a shop that would be just-so-perfect, only of it was a bit longer? Or a bit shorter? Only if  it had pockets? Or had sleeves? In an era if mass produced clothing, one thing that is taken away from customers is the ability to buy a 'made-for just me' garment.  But online boutique eShakti is on a mission to change that. It not only gives you options of design and style, but also gives you freedom to make that style your very own! I got a customized not-so-little black dress few months ago and totally loved it! When eShakti team contacted me to review one of their dresses, I knew I will love it because I was already a happy and satisfied customer.  I love the classic silhouettes of sheath dresses, the femininity of full skirted dresses and the charm of longer hemlines. eShakti has a huge selection of dresses, skirts and blouses that you can customize and make them work for your body and wardrobe.
This blush rose dress is perfect for me to wear as a wedding guest in an upcoming wedding. (BTW, eShakti is great place to shop for special events, wedding guest and bridesmaid dresses too!) My dress is fully lined, has stylish side pockets and comes with a sash. (I substituted the sash with my own scarf.)  Multistrand pearls and a chic pair of summer sandals and I am all set!

Pretty In Plaid: Wear it Now, Wear it Later #SearsStyleFind

#SearsStyleFind, Plaid Looks For Summer, Plaid Looks For Fall, How To Style A Plaid Blouse, Plaid Looks

For me the best kind of shopping is where I find things I can wear immediately, and with some add-ons, I can wear them after the current season. My closet space also gets utilized better when I can wear and re-wear my favorite pieces. When I spied this classic plaid blouse at Sears, I knew I had found a wardrobe workhorse. It is made with lightweight chiffon so it is great to wear during Spring/Summer with shorts/skirts and plaid being a Fall staple print, I knew I can wear it all through Fall and Winter too.

For Summer look, I paired this plaid top with a lace fit & flare dress (also from Sears - check out the great selection of elegant and affordable dresses at Sears, you will love them all!) and a cute pair of strappy sandals.

For Fall/Winter look, this plaid blouse can be paired with chic motto leggings and ankle boots. These motto leggings from Sears are made with thick ponte material that is much more substantial than regular knit leggings to wear as pants. The faux leather patchwork gives these leggings a very chic and edgy look .#SearsStyleFind, Plaid Looks For Fall, How To Style A Plaid Blouse, Plaid Looks

Look For Less : Valentino Rockstud Ballerina Flats Look Alike

Celebrities love them, fashion bloggers feature them repeatedly, some are saving for them and some actually hate them for 'being everywhere!' Whether you have them, love them or hate them, you have to agree Valentino Rockstud shoes  have now their place in fashion history! I actually like them more than their heeled version. But they come with a price tag that makes eyes widen and heads shake. If you like the look, but don't like the three digits price tag, you are in luck - a well made Valentino Rockstud Ballerina Flats look alike is available for less than $60!

Lookbook : Classic Chevron

Chevron Stripe Dress, Black And White Outfits, Summer Outfit Ideas, Chevron Stripes, Fossil Erin Satchel
 The loud-mouthed cousin of nautical stripes, the chevron pattern has been a constant presence in fashion. Even though it is a classic pattern, it still has a very preppy and fresh appeal - specially in a retro style shift dress in black and white! This Sears dress is a great summer-to-fall piece with its statement-making stripes, comfortable cut and cool 60s vibe. Twiggy I may be not, legs but I do have! #ExcuseMyFashionYoda
