Old School Charm

"I need to add a touch of Linda to this!" I thought, as I speculated the adorable vintage-inspired dress hanging before me. When eShakti offered me a chance to review another of their dresses, I leaped at the chance! Then my eyes landed on this classic beauty of a dress, and I immediately chose it without much thought. Well, with a dash of leopard print, fringe, and some eclectic jewelry, I feel like I tried out a new style while still maintaining my own.
I tried eShakti's custom fit option, and boy, is this dress going to get some loving. It fits. Perfectly.
Do you know how difficult that is for someone with my body shape? If a dress fits my wide hips, it's too tight on my upper torso. If it's too tight on my hips, then forget about even trying to shimmy it on. It ain't happening. However, eShakti understands not all women come in the same size and caters to that. Finally!
So this is what I wore to go grab some coffee with Kirsten and explore a (new to us) shop downtown filled with antiques. We couldn't smother the gasps and squeals of delight that escaped us as we stumbled across treasure after treasure of history. From old school cameras, to vinyl records, to ancient photos of people from the past, we found a hoard of valuables that are just sitting in this tiny shop collecting dust.
Ah, the things you discover if you just go a little out of your way to find them.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

I love how you are able to make this dress so you! I LOOOOVEE those lace up wedges, they go so perfectly with this amazing red dress :)
And ahh that antique shop sounds amazing, it's always so fun to find gems like that :)
Gotta love eShakti for just that reason! Their custom sizing fits absolutely perfect. Dresses are so hard. I have a big ole butt and no boobies so I feel you there. XD
AUGH, but these photos are just absolutely gorgeous! I saw them pop up on the Interwebs and they made me smile. You are such a vintage delight here. Definitely reminds me of something Katie would wear, heehee. But you look so good in red. Like dang girl. :)

Oh my goodness, Linda! You look so fanciful and gorgeous in that dress. The colour and cut are both extremely flattering on you and the touch of red lippy is perfect to compliment the dress. You really do look quite the lady!

Ouuu, you picked a good one 'cause you look stunning in that red dress! I love the leopard sandals and the hat added to it, a little pizzazz for a classic dress. You look just darlin' shopping at the antique store :)
This is so sweet! I adore that red dress so much! Also, I just wanted to say that I really like your blog! I'm glad that I found it! It would be nice if you could stop by my blog sometime too (I'm from England) as I post my outfits, personal style, likes, new purchases and much more :) :)

Ooooh, I like this outfit so much, I would wear it in a heartbeat! the red dress, the black hat, so perfect! (And I love the photos in general, the background really suits your outfit, you look so chill and cool.)
Gah, I'm so behind on commenting, but I've been keeping up with you! I meant to comment on your Instagram when you first posted this, but this is definitely my new favorite outfit of yours. Of course, it helps that you're wearing a red vintage-inspired dress, but I also just love how you made it you. This is perfection.
