Eshakti Maxi Shirt- Dress

    Hello lovelies; you'll have to squint to see these pictures here..lol. My son  took them with my phone after church service on Sunday and I never really checked the pictures to make sure they were okay before we left church. I looked in my phone later and was surprised at how dark they all were because the lighting was poor but I did manage to edit them a little to show the shirtdress I wore. I purchased this shirtdress last year from Eshakti and I blogged about it on my wish list here.  It was a very simple look and I just paired it with my red fringe sandals I purchased from Zulily. The best thing about this dress is that it is so versatile. Right after church, we stopped by at the lake so the kids could play and my shirtdress was just appropriate for the lake too. I did take some pictures with my Canon DSLR camera at the lake and since those pictures are better, I'll share them later on the blog.                                

Shirt Dress: Eshakti /Fringe Sandals: Zulily

Maxi shirt dresses can be very comfy and very appropriate for the summer. This particular style with the gorgeous print (belt included) is currently sold out but there are other beautiful options out there. Get one, if you like casual, chic and comfy.

Stripes and Fringe..

When I posted these pics on my Instagram @beautyojo a few months ago, I captioned it; "Baggy Clothes-don't care;" and that is exactly what most of this outfit is. My white distressed denim is a size bigger than what I usually wear and it is also high waisted. I got the jeans off the sales rack at Target when I went shopping for toiletries and it was the only size available. Since I did not own any distressed white denim at the time, I did not want to pass up on it. Instead of just wearing the stripped tee over it, I chose to throw the red blazer over it for a pop of color. The blazer is also somewhat a loose fit. My red fringed sandals sealed off the look and though the outfit looks matchy-matchy, there is a lot of texture to it with the distressed jean and fringed sandals.

Red Blazer: Loft
Jeans: Target
Fringed Sandals: Zullily
Stripped tee: Victoriassecret
Tote: Kenneth Cole Reaction (old)
 

 

I went grocery shopping in this outfit and minus the bulge on my stomach that shows the high waist of the jean, I felt pretty confident in this outfit. I am looking forward to wearing this outfit again next summer and maybe I'll just switch some pieces out; a little Christmasy look too; I think and talking about Christmas, it's just around the corner. Let's not forget that Jesus is the reason for the Season.

Fringe it..

When I first noticed that the fringed trend was on this fall, I had mixed reaction or a love and hate reaction to it. First of all, I felt the trend was too bohemian and should be left alone in the sixties or seventies where it belongs; then I changed my mind when I started to see fringed booties and shoes. This pair I am wearing here was purchased at Zulily and it was my first time of shopping at this store and I would say that I had an amazing experience with this online store. All the items I purchased were affordable and of very good quality.


Now back to this outfit; I decided to pair this fringed sandals with my thrifted tassel belt and this grape color dress I purchased from TJ Maxx years ago. I threw in my multi strand necklace I purchased from DSW. I realized that the look was a little heavy and decided to take out the earrings. The weather was very nice a few days ago when I wore this outfit so I did not need a jacket when I went out.

Necklace: DSW
Dress: T. J Maxx (old)
Belt: thrifted
Bag: old
Shoes: Zulily

 

 

 

 

I do not know how long the fringed trend is going to be around but I am glad I was able to put together this outfit without breaking the bank. Trends come and go; let's see how long this would stay. Have you purchased any fringed item lately?
