I have been searching for months for the perfect full skirt for spring; which can be hard to find when you are 5’4″ like me! Most of the skirts on the market are too full for my short frame or too long; which requires extra money for shortening. So, when eShakti contacted me to review their online store, I was thrilled!

eShakti not only has a fabulous collection of midi and full skirts (which are my current obsessions), they have an amazing line of casual and dressy dresses! In addition to a variety of styles, silhouettes and fabrics, eShakti customizes your order for your height! YES! You read that right. eShakti asks you for your measurements when you order your clothing. This way the garment arrives at your doorstep with your perfect proportions. Love that!

This beautiful skirt arrived at my house the perfect length for my 5’4″ frame. I was thrilled I did not need to have it shortened. Alterations can be upwards of $50 an item depending upon the hem, so having a skirt or dress arrive in the length I need for my height is luxurious. I also love the pockets in the skirt!

The “Sash Waist Poplin Skirt” I ordered turned out to be a versatile piece. The sash is detachable so the skirt can be worn with or without the bow depending upon occasion; or if you don’t want to appear to wear the same skirt twice! Love that!!!

I absolutely adore pastels in the spring season. There is something about pastels which tells the world the cold weather is over and sunny days are here. One of my favorite all-time pastel hues is mint green. I love pairing mint green with white since white is such a crisp and clean color. I feel like it is the perfect neutral hue to brighten up mint green and make it pop.

This could be why I love the Ippolita Wonderland set I am wearing with this outfit. The mint green and white quartz set in sterling silver offers a crisp feel in warm weather. Love that! To tie everything together, I love this watch from my new favorite online boutique TrendCY. The white strap helps make the mint green glow and the loose fit will be perfect for the warm weather in spring, and the hot temperatures of the summer months. I also love the watch in white since it will match everything I wear in spring and summer!

Do you have a favorite pastel hue this season? What is your favorite neutral hue to set it off?

All about the bow pumps

It is entirely possible I have an addiction to shoes. With this addiction, I tend to style my outfits around a pair of shoes. This is the case with these fabulous cobalt blue bow pumps from Aminah Abdul Jillil.

I first spotted these bow pumps in black on Pinterest last fall. I thought they were amazing but the last thing I needed in my closet at the time was another pair of black pumps. So, I followed Aminah Abdul Jillil on social media and watched for new designs. 

About one month ago Aminah Abdul Jillil announced a pre-order for new colors on the bow pump; cobalt blue, green and pale pink. I gasped when I saw the cobalt blue, after all, blue is my favorite color! They looked amazing on the website and I got really excited about snagging a pair for myself in blue! 

It took about one month to receive my cobalt blue bow pumps and I cannot be more thrilled. They are incredibly comfortable and the suede is extremely soft. Love that! I wore them out to dinner with my husband and snapped a few photos before we left to share with you. I cannot wait to find more outfits in my closet for these shoes!

Have you ever spotted a pair of shoes and fell in love? I would love to hear about it in the comments below!
