I Went Out on a Limb and Wore Orange

Free stuff stresses me out.

I don't get a lot of free stuff from blogging, but I do get some, and every time I spend way too long choosing my item. Remember my free 8x10 canvas I showed you last week? It took entirely too long to pick which picture to put on the canvas. (BTW, congratulations to Jennifer for winning my giveaway!) I got some free eyeglasses last year, and again I spent like an hour picking frames. Apparently I care more about making sure I like my free item than I do the one I actually pay for with my own money. I don't know.

Anyway, when eShakti contacted me to review an item from their spring line... let's just say it took a while to pick what I wanted. First because their stuff is really cute. They have tops, jackets, skirts, and dresses in many different colors and styles, and the designs are unique. They even sell bridesmaid dresses!

I knew I wanted a dress, because I already have one eShakti dress from a product review I did last year (you can see it by clicking here), and I get so many compliments on it. Seriously, every time I wear it people ask me where I got it from. And then I'm all, "I got it for free for blogging about it!" And they're like, "Cool?" And then I feel like a nerd.

Anyway, I ended up picking this dress after much internal debate.

(My eyes look closed. I promise they are not.)

Then I dressed up and took my tripod outside and tried to act like I didn't see the people in the apartment next to me staring at me through their window. Hashtag blogger problems. 

As a general rule I do not wear colors in the orange or red area of the color circle. (Actually as a general rule I do not take fashion photos, so I'm 0 for 2 at the moment.) I have my bright red facial skin coloring to thank for my hatred of wearing orange. But I decided to go out on a limb and get this dress. I figured if I hated it, at least it was free.

Well, I DO NOT hate it. I love it. It's perfect. It has pockets! Hello, love of my life.

What I love about eShakti (yes, this is a product review, but I seriously do love this about them) is how easy it is to customize their clothing. You can add or remove pockets, choose the length of your dress or skirt (floor length, below knee length, above knee length), change up the collar style of your dress or shirt (v-neck, scoop neck), and they offer fully customized sizes 0-36 as well for those of you who have trouble finding just the right size.
