Denim Duo OOTD

Well I did it, I finally cleaned out my walk in closet…well at least the the top right half of it…don’t judge, I’m getting there!  Anywho, in doing so I realized that I don’t have as many long sleeve dresses as I need for Autumn, but instead of buying or thrifting more, I am going to simply wear a sweater or in this case a denim jacket over them.

It was the first day of the work week so I grabbed this denim jacket which has been hanging in my coat closet for over 5 years to wear over this cap sleeve blue dress.  This was one of the summer dresses that I had purchased from Ross, do you remember?  You know the saying, “everything old is new again”, well you can definitely say that about this jacket as evidenced by the animal print around the collar and sleeves.

So along with my standby animal print peep-toe shoes which was an obvious choice they made the outfit complete, what do you think?  Oh, and the necklace was also thrifted new from Goodwill.

On Casual Friday, which as you know is the only day that I wear pants or jeans to work also included denim, or Chambray as some may call it.  This chambray shirt has Avon embroidered on it, so I covered it with this long duster which was thrifted from Goodwill a few years ago.  Wearing it along with my black jegging jeans from Walmart and clunky shoes from Kmart, I was comfy casual on a Friday.

Do you any denim clothing other than jeans?  I have a few more denim shirts so you will see them in another outfit of the day post.

Product Review – eShakti

“eShakti-We Design – You Customize”

I am doing this review for eShakti, an international fashion design company in India that sells ready-to-wear and customized women’s clothing.  eShakti specializes in affordable custom made clothing for women in sizes 0-36W.  They have been featured in Vogue, Glamour and O Magazines and now include design teams in New York and California.   In an effort to reach a wider audience they have contacted several bloggers including myself to review an item of clothing from their stock.

I chose this ready-to-wear blue stripe dress and am not only in love with the color but also in how it fits my body frame.  It is an all-season knit dress, so today I added a thrifted denim bolero jacket and black patent leather pumps.

The scoop neck, cap sleeves and side zipper has it fitting me to a “T”, it’s a very nice cut.  After wearing, I machine washed on delicate and hung to dry with no problems, it kept it’s shape and only needs a cool iron to remove the wrinkles.
