I just spent the good part of the morning checking out the eshakti site!! Amazing!! Thanks for sharing it.
*sigh* for some reason i can only see about 1 in 8 of your photos. *cries*
stupid work firewall!
those pink mary janes from target are gorg.
First off, that dress is amazing! And it's going to look fabulous on you!
Second I had never heard of that site before, and so I checked it out, and they have some great stuff!! I was just starting to prepare a blog post with a few selections from there, but now the site seems to be down :(
I bet all the traffic created by your post has overwhelmed their site. Hopefully it's back up soon.
Thanks!
Beautiful dress. I love all the creative ways you've pulled it together.
oh wow i love that dress! it reminds me of that super cute one you put on here a couple weeks ago from old navy. i wanted that dress so bad!
hope you're having fun in vegas!!!

What a PRETTY dress. Again....amazed at how many outfits you can make using this single dress! Looking forward to seeing it on you for sure!!
Have a GREAT vacation!!
So cute! My favorites are the one with the purple mary janes and the one with the polka dot belt.
Ohhh my gosh... I can't wait to see the dress on you! Did you customize it? The site has such cute pieces, and $15 for custom measurements sounds AMAZING.
Hi Kim, Have you purchased anything from EShakti before? I love their stuff especially because they have cute things in larger sizes but I have heard some negative stuff..just wondering.
also:
Hi, I have been following your blog for a while and I love it. I have started a new blog about books, I would like to ask you to consider it if you are a reader:

oh my gosh I am totally in love with this dress! it is so freakin cute!
yay! can see them at home. what super-fun looks you've put together. i adore the dress as a skirt with the black layer over, especially, and the crazy-thrifty turquoise satin bow shoes from f21. oooh la la
These are beautiful looks; that dress is a perfect starting point. And, a dress = top + bottom, so each half is $34.75. :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing website, EShakti with me! I am in LOVE with so many things on their site. And must admit that I have now found my Easter dress and cant wait for it to arrive. We are going to be attending church at THE Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Easter so I have been searching for the absolute perfect dress.
I love what you have done with this little black and white number. Such inspiration.
Hope your vacation is wonderful!
This is a fabulous dress and I luv all the different variations you came up with! Can't wait to see you in it!!
I love all the ways in which you remixed this dress!! its such a great inspiration, thanks!
