Bow-dacious

 I love anything with bows lately! Can't get enough. My vintage Holiday dress had a beautiful bow back and I just bought the cutest rain boots with bows! I couldn't resist this gorgeous top when I saw it.
Eshakti contacted me a little bit ago to do a review and I immediately said yes! I've heard so much about the company and browsed through their pretty dresses a few times so I couldn't be more excited! If you haven't heard yet, everything they sell can be customized. Want a longer skirt? Shorter skirt? Add sleeves? Change the neckline? They'll even add pockets! You can also put in your exact measurements to ensure a perfect fit! 
It was such a hard decision but I decided to go with this top over a dress because I could use it more than yet another dress and I fell in love with the cute bow design! This top was listed as sleeveless but I loved the idea of it with half-sleeves so I added some and also lengthened the hemline a little! I LOVE it!
I thought it quite fitting to finally try that "hair bow" tutorial I pinned. It took a few times and still didn't turn out perfect, but I think it's pretty cute!
These photos were taken in my parent's front yard. Right after we went inside a couple does came right up near the house looking for food so I snapped a few shots through the window! It's not unusual to see deer roaming around in my parent's town but they never stand still for long!
Happy Hump Day! ;)

The top and hairstyle are awesome! Looks like you live in the North Pole. Being from the South, we never see anything like that!

Wow, I cannot get over how your photos are turning out more stunning with that new camera! Love it :)
That bow top is just adorable, and I love how you matched your hair with it! Haha, so cute.

Oh, and yes, Filipinos love pale skin. ALL the skin products here advertise a "whitening" effect. Seriously, lol

Kym said...

You are the cutest! I love that you even tied your hair in a bow :) I haven't worn that hair style in a while, and now that my hair has grown to a considerable length, it might be time for me to try it out again. Thanks for the inspiration, dear. (haha..deer)
(Also your sister has amazing taste - those lace booties are the shiz!)

What a great choice! This top is ridiculously cute and I love the alterations you had made to it. I had such a hard time choosing what to get from eShakti, all their stuff is so cute. And it's too adorable that you did bow hair with this!

Sarah S. said...

Love your outfit, especially the coat, I'm a sucker for a cute coat.

Kristian said...

I've been really impressed with eshaki. This is so cute!

I find every aspect of this gorgeous outfit absolutely delightful! The top is adorable (I'm funny with bows, I am really picky for myself on what type of bows I can wear. How strange, but for some reason I find some of them too kitsch on me)the print is darling. The boots and socks combo are so pretty, what a neat present and the coat is gorgeous! The hair is awesome, I'd love to try it but am hopeless, truly hopeless with my hair!!!
Loving the doe!
Hope you are well!

Hi Jessi! Thanks so much for your sweet comment! I'm a freak about bows too - before I cut all my hair off, I used to buy the huge oversized ones and wear them everyday! One reason I wish I could go back to long hair. :] I love the way you styled yours! So cute and clean! :]

Teddi said...

jessi, every time you wear those lace socks, i swoon. the eshakti bow top is adorable with your hair styled in a bow. nice gift of shoes from your sister. wow on the deer photos. sigh.

i keep hearing about that site and thought it was pretty nifty- especially since you can add pockets onto stuff haha! you look so cute here, i think bows are very much your style. i like that slightly peplum shape to the top, and you *completely* rock red lipstick- it looks amazing on you!
