WIWW – Navy Heart Dress

For What I Wore Wednesday today, I wanted to talk about this super-cute dress I received from eShakti :

You know I love eShakti.  Their dresses have a great fit, and on top of that you can customize them – change the length, the sleeves, the neckline, etc.  I can’t say enough about them – they’re my go-to dress shop.

Well I was able to pick out a dress to blog about, and went with this super-cute hearts one.  When I got it, I was unsure about it – the dress was actually navy (I thought it was black) and the neckline that I had customized was a bit more open than I thought (my fault for picking that one).

I struggle with navy – I never know what to wear with it!  But on some blog I remember reading that hot pink pairs with navy.  And so I gave it a go.  And I happen to have a hot pink shirt as well, so I layered that, which added just a hint of color to the neckline and helped make it less open.  Win win.  And guess what – I loved it!  I want to embrace navy now – – everyone keeps saying how it’s a neutral, and I might be starting to see that.  Someone suggested pairing it with kelly green as well, and I think that will be my next color combo to try.

 I love that the dress has a flattering fit – comes in at the waist and flairs a little at the skirt.  And it has PCOKETS, which takes up a million more steps.  It was a little loose in the bust area (obviously my problem, not the dress) so next time I might custom order on size – where you can make the top one size and the bottom a different size.

So if you’re dress shopping, the first place I’ll tell you to try is eShakti – go see what you love over there!  Real fashion for real people.
