A few random thoughts:
1) I don’t normally wear brightly colored shoes (with the exception of my running shoes), so I wasn’t initially 100% sold on pairing pink shoes with a pink skirt. I kept thinking that a beige shoe would have looked better. I am still undecided.
2) The dead tree in the background really annoys me…
3) I have a small obsession with this top
4) I have been a bad dog mom this week. The long hours are eating into my “dog time” (which I feel terrible about). Fortunately my brother is AMAZING and has been playing/walking/running/etc with the dogs. So grateful!

Top: homemade {made with drapery fabric that I found in a blow-out bin. Unfortunately I didn’t take any closeups, but the fabric has a great texture to it. I think I may add some darts to the front of the bodice to help reduce some of the bulkiness} {similar BR option}

I jumped at the opportunity to receive an eShakti skirt after seeing a number other styles around the blogosphere (especially this scalloped style - seen on Sarah and Jen). My favorite part was that I could completely customize this skirt. eShakti’s motto is We Design.You Customize - and I was able to input my height, waist, thigh, and hip measurements, along with hip shape to ensure a proper fit. In addition, I was able to choose the final length of the skirt (short, knee length, or tea length), and whether or not I wanted pockets. For ordering a custom garment made from scratch, I was surprised how quickly it arrived (it was here in about 2 weeks!). I am loving the nautical feel and can definitely see myself wearing it again and again.
Today I am guest posting over at Sarah’s Real Life. Click through to see the rest of today’s look.
