Sky blue seems to be the color of the moment and I find myself picking up things in the delicate pale shade of blue (like this polka dot dress). This Target Who What Wear Ruffle Wrap Midi Skirt caught my eye last week in the store and it was like love at first sight 😍😍. Last year J.Crew had a similar skirt but it was sold out pretty quickly so when I found out the similar style in Target for even lower prices, I jumped on the chance to buy it. I had this Gap Off Shoulder Stripe Top from last year and it matches with the stripes of the ruffles of skirt so well. I love pieces that I can mix, match and wear in different ways to get the most use out of, and these two pieces are really good in that regard.
I love the color combination of sky blue and fuchsia. The strappy sandals (Krysten Block Heel Pumps by A New Day) are the prettiest color of hot pink and very comfortable. I have seen similar style and color in department stores for over $100 but these sandals are under $33, look high end and are very comfortable!
I am loving romantic ruffles this year and can't get enough of them. (Exhibit A here) .

Are you guys digging the sky blue shade for Spring? What colors are in your wardrobe foe warmer weather?

Looking for chic and trendy dresses on a budget? Target's Who What Wear line is the answer. This line has figured it all out - their designs feel very "current", look high end and prices are very affordable. For fast fashion, where you want to get something stylish (without the regret of getting a seasonal/current look for a lot of money) Target's Who What Wear is a winning bet!
For this Spring/Summer, I tried out their latest dresses and I wanted to give you all a real look of them. For reference I am 5'8" tall, 140 pounds, 34 C, size S/M or 6/8 in most brands and Who What Wear size Small and 6 fits me. All the dresses I am wearing here are either Small or size 6. The quality of the cotton poplin is not super high, but then, all of them are under $35, so you can't complain!
This oxford shirting fabric dress is the 'it' print of Spring/Summer this year. The sky blue color, seersucker-like stripes and the fresh modern take on a tiered midi is a win. I loved it on me and I think this style is very classic. Its not lined and does not have pockets but for the price, its a good buy. It is 100% cotton according to the label inside.
This is very "walk down the cobble stone streets in an Italian village' look dress. It has a shirt dress style, has buttons going through the front, fully lined and comes in 4 fun prints (including my favorite polka dots) and has charming ruffles at the shoulder. Very girly, pretty and fun Spring/Summer dress that can be dressed up or down. I tried all 4 colors and loved every single one of them. The fabric is also very soft. A good buy given that the floral prints and shirt dress style is a timeless look for Spring/Summer.
This is a charming dress and comes in window pane print as well as lush floral print. I wore the rose print version of this dress in a previous blog post. I love both the prints. This dress is very feminine style with A-line full skirt, tie sleeves and it can be dressed up for a special occasion too.
This chambray dress is very on trend with off shoulder style and smocked chest. It is a very 'summer' dress. It is 100% cotton according to the label inside. I didn't like it on myself because the way it looks at the front on me, but I think anybody else with less endowed chest can rock this dress really well.
This dress is very modern and chic but the color didn't do anything for me. I think this is a great color for people with either darker or fairer skin than mine. I look washed out in it, but it is just my opinion. I can never work Khaki, even though this safari style is very modern and summer-fresh. I love the striped bell and one shoulder ruffle.
The last item I tried on from Target Who What Wear line was this paper bag skirt with abstract print. I loved the style and look of it. Paperbag waist is very tricky to pull off as it can look frumpy and shapeless, but with a right top, it can look very modern and flattering. I love Khaki version of it too, and I think that would be a better option for me than a dress if I want the safari/khaki summer look.

I love pretty dresses. That's why whenever a new brand/collection comes up that specializes in dresses, I have to check them out, specially if that collection is from a blogger whose style I love and identify with. Gal Meets Glam Collection is a line of dresses from Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam blog (available at Nordstrom too) . I ordered Gal Meets Glam Judith Dress in white eyelet and love it.
The dresses of this collection are well made (See my detailed review of 9 other dresses here). They fit true to size and fit comfortably. I tried all Nordstrom dresses in size 6 and they fit me well (I am usually a 6, sometimes 8 in some brands). So I'd say that GMG dresses are generous in sizing.
Gal Meets Glam Collection dresses are priced between $128-$198 and the styles are timeless so they will last in your wardrobe without being 'outdated'.
Below is a closer look at the fabric and details of this dress in my Youtube video of unboxing thus dress.

Yet another sunny day, yet another eShaktidress! (See my previous eShakti looks Here, Here, Here, Here, Here and Here) If there is one thing I have to single out in my wardrobe that I absolutely can wear every day, it will be a midi dress. I love the mid calf hem length on me and I feel really feminine and comfortable in a full skirted midi dress/skirt. That is why eShakti.com has become my favorite go-to store for dress shopping, specially for Spring/Summer dresses. They not only have the prettiest prints and patterns, and best quality cotton, but they also can customize each dress according to customer's size and height. For me, this is the most value-adding feature. I am afraid, eShakti has ruined me for "off the rack" now! (I feel so fancy saying it out loud! LOL!)
This polka dot shirt dress was shown on their website as a midi dress with long sleeves and mandarin collar. I customized it for my size and height and requested to have shirt collar and short sleeves with tie details and they delivered it exactly as I had pictured. All for under $50! They often have special discounts for free shipping, free customization, certain % off of full price etc so the cost is always very affordable. If an item is out of stock, you can add your email for wish list and they tell you when it is back in stock (they often restock sold out items!). They also allow free return if you are not happy with your purchase (which I can assure you, you won't need because you'll love your dress that fits perfectly because it was sewn specially for you!!)
If you have not tried eShakti yet, you should absolutely try for Spring/Summer dresses. You can get $35 off your purchase and free shipping with coupon code JYOTIRATHI46 at the checkout!
This handbag style is going to be the "it" bag for 2018. This style came to my notice few months ago via the British brand Danse Lente (in French it means slow dance). I had seen this style on some fashion magazine editors during Fashion Week and I was immediately intrigued by its structure and individuality. I found a vegan leather version at TJMaxx, but I want to get actual Danse Lente bag because it seems trendy yet feels like it will stay in style for years to come. Below are some bags I found on various price points that have same aesthetics as Danse Lente bags.
I hope you like eShakti.com as much I do. Don't forget to use the coupon code JYOTIRATHI46 for $35 off of your purchase and free shipping.
