To Whom It May Concern

I think this is as non-threatening as it gets for me. Hahaha. Completely innocuous and dare I say, cute. o_O O_o What's happening to me? Ahhhhhhh! Hehehe. I'll spice it up, next week. I promise. ;D~

eShakti Review

So, the cornerstone of this preppy little ensemble is this beautiful navy blue high waisted skirt. It is a gift from my sponsor, eShakti. The original was below the knee in length. So, I simply selected the size 4, but clicked the adjustment for an above the knee cut. eShakti also asks you for your height measurement, as a matter of course. So, it is no surprise that the skirt not only fits me perfectly (given the accurate measurements in their sizing chart), but it also hits me squarely above the knee.

The material is sturdy and I like the subtle textured patterns on the skirt. It feels like it was built to last and that's something that I've encountered consistently with eShakti. The first dress I had bought from them so many years ago, still looks amazing and fits like a glove.​ The high waisted palazzo pants that they had gifted to me, last year, remain in pristine condition and I've worn them many times, already.

I decided grey and brown would probably be the best way to highlight the skirt without being too distracting. So, I dusted off the old typewriter tee (which I absolutely love and don't wear as often as I should---story of my life) and I added the super cute cats with umbrellas socks. It's always a good time for cats with umbrellas. Always. Hehe. Then, I classed things up a bit with the wingtip oxfords and added the bright yellow cardigan for a bit more color contrast. Oh and then there's the curly mohawk. :D

I'm not really sure how the curly mohawk fits into things, really. Haha. I just knew it was non-negotiable. So, yeah. Hope you like the outfit! I'm looking forward to doing some darker ensembles, next week! :D

Sooooo um....are the socks too much? O_o o_O Haha. I mean, I love these socks and I hardly ever have a chance to wear them, but the colors are totally outrageous. Hehe. So, it's a difficult thing, because on the one hand, I love the bright hues and patterns, but on the other hand, I can't help wondering whether they overpower the whole outfit. I dunno. Maybe I'm just imputing my overall self consciousness about wearing bright colors to the socks? I mean, it's fine. I'm sure it's fine. Yeah. :P

Despite my nervousness about wearing brights, I found myself really liking this outfit. It checks off quite a few aesthetic boxes for me: (a) mixed textures, (b) mixed patterns, (c) colorful, (d) quirky and (e) it's monochromatic orange! I mean, you don't see *that*, every day, am I right? Awesome sauce. :DDD

Picture

I think it was the perfect outfit for brunch with friends (who were amused that I somehow found a way to blend in with the artwork and orange painted walls at the cafe haha). I just can't catch a break. ;P
