Leafy Not Beefy

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there!  Also want to say to all those who are not mothers (yet, or will never be) that even though this is a day to honor and celebrate mothers, I think most, if not all, women have nuturing, mothering qualities to them, and so you may not technically be a mother, but I’m sure there are many in your sphere of influence who you are mothering.  I also think this day is a day to celebrate women, not just mothers.  At least, that’s how I see it.  So to all you women – hope you’re having a great day!

I am enjoying today in this gorgeous lavender dress from eShakti.  This is the second dress I’ve been given the opportunity to blog about, and I’m equally as pleased as I was before.  I LOVE eShakti because you can customize the clothing to fit YOU.  They offter sizes 0-36W plus all the customization you can imagine (lower the hem, raise the hem, lengthen/shorten sleeves, remove pockets/embroidery, change the neckline…)   Don’t know about you, but I’m not one to really fuss too much with a piece of clothing, so if it doesn’t fit off the hanger, I’m not that likely to actually wear it.  And the fact that I am a few sizes larger for pants than tops gives you a clue that I am going to be one of those people who off the hanger doesn’t always work.  But I love how these dresses are literally made for you.  This dress has a partial zip on the side, and it fits like a glove since it was made to my specific measurements!  Those cascading flowers?  They’re removable, so I can take them off, add them to a cardigan, a bag, or put in my hair.  I customized mine further by adding short sleeves and making the neck not as wide (though I did still have to use a saftey pin because it was a touch too low still).  They have a lot of nice bridesmaids dresses as well, I think this dress actually was in that section…but wouldn’t that be a great way to have your wedding party still “match” but have it be customized to their liking as well?  And they are less expensive than a lot of bridemaids dresses.  AND you could wear it after the wedding as well.  I just love their unique prints and just the little details that make the dresses fit so nicely and look so darling.
