Grey knit dress + white boots for Spring

 

      Grey dresses do not get enough love as they should for whatever reason. I love grey dresses or outfits though and I do not know why but I think it might be because of the long cold winter in my city. There is no way I can go through the whole of winter without wearing the color grey; it may be a grey pantsuit, a sweater dress or linen dress or just sweater and pants. This post is on the recent addition to my grey wardrobe; this gray, chambray, fit and flare dress that I wore to Church a while back. The weather was really cold, so I had to wear some tights and I decided to wear black tights underneath for a deep contrast in color.

This knit dress was purchased from JCPenney and it's similar to another knit dress I wore here in my previous post. I love the style of it, the waist ties to cinch the waist and the soft comfy fabric. I paired the dress with white accessories, keeping everything simple. Another way to style this dress would be the way I did in this previous post here with a similar knit dress.  Of course, snake print boots would be another styling option especially in the fall. Thanks so much for reading.

Grey Dress    Boots    Bag

Houndstooth statement coat + Combat boots

 

       Winter calls for warm cozy coats and even better when the coat is also stylish too. This long gingham coat is that trusted piece for me. I decided to style it with a grey knit dress and combat boots for this post. The weather is starting to warm up and though it was sunny in this post, it was still quite cold. 

However, it's almost time to put away the winter coats but this piece would definitely be the last to be stowed away. And I have said it on here so many times, it was thrifted for less than $50 at a consignment store. How do you beat that? Hurray to sustainable fashion. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Grey Sequins..

Hi Friends; I hope everyone is doing great. I'm here for a quick post. This is my Easter dress that I featured in my Giveaway post courtesy of eshakti. The weather was not that great on Easter; it was cold and cloudy and it has been so for the past few days. I was going to hold on till the weather warms up to wear this dress again and do a post on it but I have a discount code to share and I thought it was best to do the post this week.

So, do you remember this mojo moxy pumps I purchased not too long ago and blogged about here? I thought it would add a nice pop of color to the dress. This dress was originally a sleeveless scoop neck dress when I saw it on the site but I customized it and added sleeves and changed the neckline from a "scoop" to a "round." Most of eshakti clothes come with pockets and you have the option to order them without pockets too. They also have larger sizes and give you the option of choosing your desired length. All this customizations can be done free of charge on your first order and for a small fee for subsequent orders.

The Winning Number...

                                                                                   3

The winning number/piece for the Giveaway is #3 and the blogger profile is craftsonthego. I checked out the blogger's profile to make contact about the win and realized that there was no web page listed and the user is private so I could not leave a comment or message on their page.

So,  craftsonthego. you can contact me by using the "blogger's contact form" at the bottom right hand side of the page so I can give you more details or you can leave a comment on this post with your e-mail address. I will have to get clarification though that you are the right owner of that bloggers' profile since there is no web page and we can arrange a way to do that...:-). Again, the prize is $50.00 to use on the eshakti website and like I said before, their gift cards do not expire. They also have discounts and promotions on the site from time to time and you should check them out often and use your gift card at a convenient time.

Thanks so much everyone for participating. It was fun getting all the entries and it looks like dress #2 is a favorite for a lot of people. It is really pretty too. The reason I chose dress #3 is because I do not have a lot of grey pieces in my closet and you might notice that when you look through my posts. So, it was an opportunity to get a grey item. If you notice, the dress is shown as sleeveless on the site but I customized it by adding short sleeves and changing the neckline from scoop to round. That is what eshakti is all about. The only con for now is that they have limited countries they ship to (USA and Canada) and I am sure that will change in time.

So, this is my Easter dress and I will be wearing it to church next sunday for the Easter service. So, check back to see how I'll style it. There will also be a discount code for everyone in my styling post courtesy of eshakti so, check back everyone.

Thanks so much for stopping by
