It’s all about this gorgeous, floral dress in this post right here!
Both Keren Charles of Two Stylish Kays and myself were recently contacted by eShakti, an online women’s fashion clothing website, to try out some pieces from their website and provide a review. I had seen a few bloggers provide reviews of some pieces from eShakti, but I had never ordered from this company before, prior to eShakti contacting me.
I was given wide latitude to choose whichever piece I wanted free of charge and then provide my honest feedback of the piece.
In my opinion, the coolest thing about this company is the ability to literally have your clothing custom made, at a very reasonable price. Every item you choose is customized to your height, size and style. I choose this beautiful floral dress with a brunch date in mind (I know, I buy clothing for specific events :)). I was able to customize the neck line, the sleeves stye and even the length of the dress. They even had the ability to add or remove pockets. Although, not sure why anyone would want to remove pockets from a dress, but, at eShakti, your wish is their command.
You should know that every item is available in sizes 0-36W. Now, to top that off, the customer service was impeccable and my dress was delivered in less than a week after I placed the order.
This dress fit like a glove, truly customized for me! A beautiful cotton material with bright saturated colors, just how I love it. If you haven’t given eShakti a chance yet, you should definitely check them out. To help you purchase something at a great price, you can use the following promo code to receive 10% off your order: THRIFTDIVA until August 31st.
Check out eShakti’s Pinterest or Facebook page for more style inspiration.
To complete this “oh so chic brunch date look”, I paired it with these thrifted pink and orange Apt 9 slingbacks that I picked up at a local Goodwill for $6.99. They are a perfect compliment to this beautiful dress don’t you think? This thrifted orange clutch is so spot on with the shoes and the orange in the dress, that it was a no brainer to complete the look.
Since I was able to customize my neckline to have a lower cut, I added this statement necklace that I thrifted from a Salvation Army for $2. 
Now, let’s jump into our second week of our Thrift Sisters link up! As you might remember, Keren Charles and I launched our Thrift Sisters link up, encouraging you all to post thrifted or thrifty priced items to this link up. We are very appreciative of those who took time out to link up their great thrifted items.

Thank you!!!! Girl, I would love to see what you order.
I love your dress from eShatki. I need to checkout their website. I love the fact that they offer customized clothing. I’m short and small so I could really benefit from this site.

Kenya,
THANK YOU!!! The print is what drew me in immediately on the site, and can you believe the shoes that fit so perfectly with it.
I was intimidated to link up with you guys because I certainly don’t thrift to the professional level that you guys do! But what a great point about remixing this skirt! Remixing could be my way to “thrift!” I love remixing and bringing the price per wear down!
Now this dress on you – amazing! Such a perfect fit and love the “brunch” appeal that it has!
Carylee,
Intimidated —- girl you are a DIVA, never a need to be intimidated with us! You are absolutely right about the price per wear theory. The whole point in thrifting is to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE and look awesome. Remixing accomplished that same goal and you do it very well!!!! Also, thank you for the compliment on my dress. Girl, I love this dress:)
That floral dress is beyond lovely….the color and floral prints are one of a kind!

I love how fun, bright and on trend both your dresses are! Glad you found the fit worked out well. I love the idea of eshakti, but I’ve gotten a couple custom pieces from them that did not fit right at all.

Gorgeous dress!
I’ve heard so many great things about eShakti, I’d really love to try them out. Unfortunately they don’t deliver internationally.

Alex,
Thank you! That sucks that they don’t deliver internationally, but I would say that is probably a temporary thing. Keep on the look out for them to see if they deliver internationally later.
I have heard so many things with eShakti and it looks like they have fabulous dresses. I would love to try them!
Leanna,
Yes, you should definitely give them a try. Use the coupon code for a discount!

I love this dress Ayanna, beautiful pick! The pairing with those sling backs is super cute. Beautiful sunny pictures as usual. I hope you enjoyed your brunch.

Thank you! Girl, I absolutely did not plan the heels matching the dress, but LOVED how it worked out that way.
