It's beginning to be beautiful and summery in Los Angeles, so I found myself looking at summery things to wear. I don't have much of a budget for new clothes at the moment (and while in transition like this, I certainly don't need to buy anything more until what I have is completely untailorable.) So in the meanwhile, it's fun to put together imaginary outfits. I thought I'd share some of them with you.
The summer line at EShakti.com really hit my sartorial spot. What I love about the company is that they have a very large range of sizes (not to mention an option to order custom sizes tailored to your measurements.) So the dresses that are at the crux of these outfits will probably fit you, no matter who you are.

Veggie gumbo! Got the recipe to share?
ReplyDeleteThe dress you wore is great! I love Torrid. I wish they'd had them around when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteGirrrrrl you lookin' slimmer every day!
ReplyDeleteI love those dresses! I'm gonna go check out that site right now! :D
I have just started following your blog and I love it! I'm also "in your shoes" and need to start losing this weight .. you are giving me so much inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBTW - have you heard of greatclothingexchange.com? If you were to post that dress there .. I'd be forced to make multiple accounts to like it.
: D
The pictures of you are lovely and I LOVE x3 the dresses you chose!
ReplyDeleteI know I say this practically everyday, but I ADORE your style! You and Tom looked amazing in your adventure, and again...I'm so proud of you for reaching your -50 milestone and even prouder to call you both friends...!
ReplyDeleteHi from an old poster on LJ's Fatshionista community. I remember your posts there, and just found your blog through the comment you posted on Lesley's Two Whole Cakes blog, so I thought I'd stop by and check it out. Anyway, long time no 'see,' so to speak. I love the side bang on you, and love that blue flowered Torrid dress. Tres chic. I'm also in LA and I'm loving your LA adventures posts. I'm a fan of Clifton's Cafe, too. I haven't been there in several years, but it's definitely a fun place to hang out and eat. Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteRudyFan, I'll definitely blog the gumbo recipe the next time we make it. :)
Heather, agreed. The clothes I had to wear between age 13 and 21 were... well, it's no wonder I became a fan of fashion once Torrid came around.
Lindsay, I see I've infected you with the eShakti bug. It's pretty contagious.
Jen, very nice to meet you! I have indeed heard of GCX and I intend to use it soon - I have a lot of great threads that I can't wear anymore.
Aw, Rena and Kenz, you make me smile.
Thirtiesgirl, hello! Nice to bump into you again. I am so glad you're digging the adventure posts - I think it's not everyone's bag but it's very much mine (and I'm glad to know it's someone else's, too!)
