Gettysburg or Bust

In Virginia (for the first time ever) and headed to Gettysburg!  Very excited to be seeing lots of new country. I am on Instagram now under the name 'atlantavictoria' and I will be posting pictures throughout the reenactment. Taking lots if pix for a big post when I return!

Belated Spring 2013 eShakti Dress Review

 

 

 I have been loving this peachy orange gingham dress from the ever-lovely eShakti.

 

 

 

 

 It has a cute shirred bodice detail with bias trim and customized short sleeves.

 ( the slip you see peeking out is an addition of mine)

I loved it even more when it softened up in the wash - it makes a great summer house dress.

 

More things to love:

 

- Two big pockets

 

-Side zipper

 

- 100% Cotton

 

- Built in cotton slip 

 

 

 

oh - and did I mention Jordan? :)
