#WhatSuzieWears: to an outdoor {summer} event

As I am wrapping up another whole30 - I am struggling to find clothes that fit me “just right” in my closet.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining… but I am.  I’m pumped to be getting healthy, but no one likes having clothes that just don’t fit right?  Am I right?
 
August seems like a great time of year to begin clearing out the things I didn’t wear all summer long and start finding items that fit me perfectly.  Even if I am continuing to lose weight.  {And boy, I am losing it in weird places.  Does anyone else struggle with losing weight in their wrists before they lose it anywhere else?!  Pretty sure each wrist is down 3 pounds!}  While I need to alter half my clothes, why not just find a company who will make them to fit my weird measurements?!  Which is exactly what eShakti.com will do.  Have you heard of them before?  This company sells adorable {and affordable} clothes that they customize and sew just for you!  {And not just to your size, but custom lengths, necklines, sleeves, everything!}  How cool is that?!

I am always on the hunt for dresses that are cute and fun, but also something I could wear when I’m working a wedding.  A dress that allows me to pair it with a belt, flats or wedges, AND has pockets is exactly what a wedding planner looks for.  I found this green gingham dress on eShakti.com and thought it would be perfect for a more-casual but still dressy outdoor wedding.

Unfortunately I gave eShakti.com my dimensions prior to this whole30 {I’m down 8 pounds in the last 26 days!} so this lovely dress is just a tad bit too big for me now.  But this is all my fault.  This dress is comfortable and light weight.  Again, perfect for a summer outdoor event!  I love the fact that it has pockets too… do you know how much stuff a wedding planner totes around with her?!  A lot.

Once my weight lose journey stabilizes a bit more, I will definitely be ordering a couple more custom dresses from eShakti, because let’s be real, I don’t know the first thing about sewing and altering my current wardrobe.

    I love the pattern on the dress! It’s a really great color combo. Great idea with the belt. AND …. the pics with Chloe are adorable!
