Shopping online is one of my favorite things…there is nothing like sitting on the couch in your sweatpants browsing the web clicking a few buttons and ordering your favorite styles. While I love shopping online I sometimes find myself disappointed when an item arrives and then I find it is too baggy….or too short…or perhaps the colors and details didn’t stand true to the description. But what if you could take things a step further and have the items tailored to fit your body measurements? And at a very reasonable price? Basically a personal tailor all to yourself. I recently shared a handful of photos with my readers via Facebook and Instagram of different red dresses from eShakti that I loved and wanted for the holidays. I asked you to help me pick one and #2 won by a landslide! Continue scrolling to see how I styled it – I can’t wait to wear it on a New Years Eve date with Dusty!

Getting the dress in the mail and having it fit like a glove was wonderful! The whole processes of sending over my measurements and preferences for the dress was seamless (hehe no pun intended)! I chose to wear black booties, a black coat, black envelope size vintage clutch, my faux diamond Bauble Bar earrings from Anthropologie and I did a little side part pinning half my hair back – a great evening look for the holidays!

I loved the sweetheart neckline on this dress and because it was sized to fit my body I didn’t have to worry about it sliding down and being too baggy or loose.  This photo is also a great testimonial to the fact that I need to get my roots done…badly.

I had to get a photo by our state Christmas tree of course! So fitting.
