Early Easter: eShakti Dress Review

For as long as I can remember I have purchased a pretty new dress for Easter.  For whatever reason, I always end up on the demure and sweeter side of fashion for this occasion.  After mass and brunch, this dress would always end up on the "worn once" category of my closet.  Slowly, that part of my closet is dwindling down as I find more and more creative ways to wear items.  This eShakti dress is my Easter dress for 2013....but I didn't want to wait to wear it! Slightly obsessed with the full skirt blowing in the breeze..so fun and feminine.  By pairing it with a black leather jacket with accents of red it took on a bit of an edgier look (one of my fav things to do with sweet spring dresses).  I plan to wear it sans jacket and pile on pinks and blush colors as accents come the end of the month (I will probably post to Instagram carlytsf when I do).  Do you wear your special occasion dresses only once?  Share your tips for making them more wearable in your daily life.  Hope you find some outfit inspiration and Happy Shopping!

* I have reviewed eShakti before on the blog here and here.  I adore the brand for a few reasons.  Most importantly their customization options but also their unique designs with vintage flair and their impeccable quality.  I was gifted a dress for review but all opinions are my own.
