dash of orange and olive


eshakti dress wool black lbd scallops ruffles t-strap orange cowl knit green bun dotty style blog modest

[wearing]
wool dress: c/o eshakti (exactly)
jacket: h&m (similar)
belt: forever21
cowl: self-knit
tights: apt. 9
heels: madden girl (similar)

in order to get over my post thirty for thirty slump, i am declaring this color week.  i tried this once before and i lasted one day.  but now, armed with an arsenal of bright tights and freshly thrifted polyester, i am ready to try again.

and seriously, check out the little puffs of sleeves on this dress.  and it's wool-tastically warm.  the friendly folks over at eshakti sent it over for my review and i absolutely adore it.  while it can be classified as a basic black dress, the details make it so much better!

    Olive is by far the hardest color for me to style. Well done!

    I love the scalloped hem of the dress. Very pretty! I also love the ruffles on the shoes. :-)

    I'm so glad that you said that you were in a 30 for 30 slump. I feel lost as to what I should wear now that it's over....crazy! Thank you for reminding me that I too have that jacket stashed away somewhere. You look great.

    I hope you last more than one day this time b/c your color combos are always so original. Which I don't understand how that's possible considering there are only a finite number of color combos out there, but somehow you make it happen. Orange + olive FTW!
