What I Wore To Church - Navy Colorblock Dress and Mustard Tights

   
Tights: Merona Women's Opaque Tights (Target)
Shoes: Qupid Suede Bow Mary Jane (UrbanOG) 

I have another dress from eShakti to feature today. I got this one a couple weeks ago, but was waiting to wear it because I had a specific pairing in mind, but didn't have all the pieces yet. When I bought it, I had the idea that I wanted to try out the bright tights trend. With the dark colors and classic shape of the dress, it was perfect to let the tights take center stage. The tights were easier to find than I thought they would be. I was pleased that they weren't that expensive either. Props to Target! They had a very large selection of colors, and I was so happy to find them in mustard. You may already know my obsession with the navy and mustard pairing, as can be seen here, here, here, and here

Once I found the tights, I knew I had to find the right shoes. They needed to be plain black to avoid overdoing it with color or prints, and I love mary janes with bright tights because the straps stand out so well. The lace bow on these adorable shoes added that last bit of cute oomph to the outfit. 

I know I say it practically every week, but I can't get enough of eShakti. They have some fun prints and shapes, but they also have retro classics like this one. They can be worn as is with classic accessories, or they can be jazzed up with colorful cardigans, tights, or shoes. I love dresses that have options, and this one has lots. I think next time I wear it, I'll try it with red accents. eShakti is doing another Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale. Their winter clearance is also still available, but the offers can't be combined. Be sure to check it out and pick up something fun, or something classic. 

Happy Shopping!

What I Wore To Church - Colorblock Stripe Dress

I bring you another edition of "What I Wore To Church". We'll get right to it.
Sunday dress

Dress: eShakti (did you expect anything different) Colorblock Stripe Poplin Dress (sleeves added)
Shoes: JustFab Laurence
Necklace: Monica's Fantabulous Fashions

I got this dress practically free. I used credit from a previous return, plus $20 off for filling out a survey, and then $6 from my ebates payment, meaning I paid nothing other than what I originally paid before the return. And I absolutely love it. It's nice and poofy at that bottom which is fun to twirl in, and because it's neutral, I got to pick a pop of color for the shoes (which you know I love).

That was a really tough choice. I have a ton of color pop shoes and just had to pick which one was right. In all reality, I could've picked about four of them, but I was feeling pink today. I just got these recently from JustFab as you may have noticed in my last JustFab related post, and they worked out well. Not the most comfortable shoes, but I can handle almost anything for three hours of church.

Now I bring you a special guest to my What I Wore to Church segment. My sister Crystal (yes, the same sister who drove 3 hours for me yesterday).

Dress: Maurice's
Shoes: JustFab JacquiBelt: American Eagle

Clearly fashion sense runs in the family (as does the love of mint). While she was here for my party she looked through my belts to find her something to accessorize the dress.  I thought this one worked well. Then she saw Jacqui in my JustFab display, and we both realized they were perfect for the outfit. What do you think? I think it worked out perfectly. She looks fabulous!

I'll wrap this up with a final note. I entered a contest recently on the eShakti facebook page. I hate entering these things because I hate begging for votes, but as much as I love eShakti (and as much as I sell their clothes for them), I figured a free dress would be a nice reward. I only have to be in the top 5 to win. I'm currently number 4, but 5 and 6 are very close behind. If you've got a second, I would really appreciate if you could give me some love and help keep me in the top 5. You can vote here. Thanks for reading!
