Are you familiar with the eShakti online clothing boutique? They make very cool, retro-style pieces that have loads of personality. When they asked me to review one of their dresses (I received it for free, but I promised to be honest), I was more than tickled to do it. I love dresses, especially those I don’t see hanging in the Mall shops.
Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Please be kind and leave a link to Not Dead Yet Style in your post.
I chose this charming Colorblock Cotton Knit Dress, in black and crimson. The extra-fun of shopping eShakti is that you can customize your item to your own measurements, and even change up the sleeves, necklines and length to best suit you. I made the sleeves elbow length, for more comfort in the Florida climate. I stayed with the scoop neckline and knee-length hem, but I would definitely try this dress with a boat neck and cap sleeves. It’s well-made and completely comfortable.
There’s a checkerboard look to the pattern.
I added a very old thrifted belt (similar) to accentuate the waist, retro-style. The lovely pink vintage bracelet (sim) is another gift from my dear friend B; it belonged to his mom and matches the necklace he gave me. The brown Doc Marten boots (sim) are also several years old but still look groovy.
I added my thrifted Trina Turk tux jacket (sim) for those chilling Florida winds : >
