Monday Confessional: one lace dress

Sooooooo... this one time, a long time ago (in February maybe?), I was sent this beautiful dress from eShakti and I fell in love with it. I tried it on immediately, snapped these two shots with my cell phone to send to my sister, and decided it was just a tad bit snug, but would work perfectly for Easter if I could just manage to lose 5-7 pounds or so.

I had a good two months to go, no problem right?

HA.

Easter morning came and that beautiful dress still fit as snugly as before. DANG IT ALL.

And honestly, I'm still working on it. And the bummer thing is the whole point of being sent a free dress is showing it here in case someone else might want to purchase it, and it's not even available any more! SAD DAYS.

But oh, are there ever some pretty dresses to pick from. eShakti specializes in customized clothing, which means every single item on their site can be made longer or shorter, with sleeves added, lengthened or removed, and the neckline changed. No extra charge. Pretty cool.

Here are my faves:

The Blouson knit dress

I think this would look so cute with a long pendant necklace and strappy sandals and be perfect for a casual day of errands or shopping.

Cotton crinkle cutout dress

Also cute with a long gold necklace and sandals (or turquoise!) I would wear it with skinny jeans and wedges too.

Striped poplin dress

Now if this dress doesn't scream "Jodi", I don't know what does. I want it.

Waverley dress

Just beautiful. Would look pretty with gold accessories and sandals or nude heels and would be perfect to wear to a summer wedding.

So there you have it, my non-review review. Of sorts.

I swear I'm going to wear that dress though! And when I do, I'll be taking better pictures of it.
