  I was recently introduced to an online boutique called eShakti.  Their concept is different from many online retailers in that they do ready-to-wear and custom orders. I purchase a good amount of my clothes online and end up sending back/exchanging a lot of them because they don't fit.   It's very hard to gauge whether or not something will fit even with a size chart.

I was really pleased with this dress when it came because it was tight through the bodice and still left enough room in the chest area.  It was lightweight and comfortable and was perfect for a shower I attended recently.

This dress is so fun and flirty, I was compelled to twirl around in it!

Cobalt

Dress:  Anthropologie, Shoes:  Bebe (old, LOVING this pair), Necklce:  J.Crew (similar here), Watch:  DKNY (similar here)

 

I was drawn to this dress instantly upon spotting it on a mannequin at my local Anthropologie store.  There is something about this amazing cobalt blue color that gets me every time.  If I had to pick one color that works best with my skin-tone/hair color, this would be it.  

When I tried it on, the dress was so light and flowy and has a beautiful attached slip that protects you from having a wind-blown Marilyn moment.  I knew it would be the perfect dress to accompany me to the beach this weekend.

What are your favorite colors to wear?

Paint the Town

Dress:  J.Crew (similar here for $44!), Shoes:  Zara (similar), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs, Belt:  Anthropologie (similar), Necklace:  Anthropologie

I know, I know, I've posted pictures of this dress before, but I wear it so frequently that I thought it deserved another post.  Just this week alone I wore the dress twice.  First, I wore it to a luncheon and then switched up my accessories and wore it out for drinks the next evening.  

The Anthropologie bib necklace in the pictures below went so well with the dress that I was asked several times if it were a part of the dress.  Throw in some old gold pumps, a gold clutch, and turn the belt backwards and ~ voila ~ ready to paint the town red {or yellow}!

Necklace:  Anthropologie, Shoes:  BCBGirls (very old, similar here,  here), Clutch:  Unknown (similar here)

Our three-day Jersey Shore getaway was sadly cut short yesterday when my husband got called home for an emergency construction situation.  I've learned that builders are similar to doctors -- always on call.  But when you live on a lake, being called home is not so bad!

Hope you all enjoyed the mid-week break!
