Cardigan: Target / Top: H&M / Necklace: PopSugar / Pants: F21 / Lipstick: Colour Pop in Jonesing
Hello tassels! Okay, I admit, I was very hesitant to try this trend out. I'd noticed the tassel trend creeping into the blogosphere but fringes and frills and tassels? Really not my thing! Or so I thought. I received this tassel necklace in my PopSugar box last month and it has definitely helped open up my eyes to how I can incorporate this trend into my wardrobe. While a million differently colored tassels hanging off a purse may not be my style, a uniformly colored group of tassels in necklace form definitely is :)
Hair note: Please excuse the messy bun - it's been my go-to hairstyle for the last week! Do you ever get to that point where you really need a haircut and your hair gets so puffy and frizzy and just overall blah that all you can do to make it look even semi reasonable is wrangle it into a bun? Yup, that's me, right now.
Anyhoo - it's officially April so I'm reeeaaally hoping the weather will decide to warm up so that the next outfit I post won't involve a sweater. One can hope right? Thanks for reading! ♥
Dressing Up with eShakti ♥
I couldn't decide what shoes went best with the dress so when in doubt....go with both :)
clearly excited about the pockets :)
Dress: eShakti / Watch: Urban Outfitters / Shoes: Payless (both blue & nude) / Lipstick: Colour Pop in Joesing
This post is a partnership with eShakti. eShakti sent me a product for review. All opinions are 100% my own.
I am officially in love with this dress. The colors, the design, the poofy skirt - everything! (Bonus features: it can twirl AND it has pockets. Clearly, I was excited). I decided to go simple with styling this dress and didn't add too many extra sparkles and charms. The dress itself is so beautiful, I felt that it needed to stand on its own without the distraction of other accessories!
When eShakti reached out to me to ask if I'd be interested in partnering with them, I'd never heard of the brand, but now I think I'm hooked! eShakti's website features dresses, tops, and bottoms that you can customize to your specific measurements and style preferences. For this dress, I loved the pattern but decided to change up the style a little bit by making the dress sleeveless and adding a boat neckline. I also customized the dress' size by adding all of the appropriate measurements (i.e. hip, waist, chest, shoulder). eShakti's website had a very easy-to-use explanation of where each measurement was located on the body so this made it much easier to customize!
I had never tried customizing before but I think it'll be something I'll have to do more often because this dress fits perfectly! I was a little worried that the styling changes I made to the neckline and the sleeves might come off weirdly since they weren't the original design of the dress but they actually turned out exactly as I'd pictured them in my head. I am in love with this dress and so happy that there is a website out there that actually makes customizations more attainable for the everyday shopper. I may or may not already be planning my next purchases…don't tell my wallet :)
Have you tried eShakti? What are your thoughts on this brand?

Poncho + Layers ☺
Poncho: Target / Jeans: Forever 21 / Shirt: Express / Necklace: Forever 21 / Sandals: Target / Watch: FabFitFun / Bracelets: H&M, Forever 21
One styling technique I've only really started using over the past year is more layering! I tend to wear tank tops under everything and just throw a nicer looking shirt over that before running out the door, but recently, I've been trying to think more creatively when it comes to layering different pieces in my wardrobe. Normally, I'd wear this poncho on its own (because it already makes such a statement) but who knew that combining it with a dressy blouse and statement necklace could breathe so much more life into the outfit! Plus, the crazy bright accessories don't hurt either ;)
I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your spring season! Thanks for reading ♥
