A more important disclaimer: I am not a fashion blogger. I’m fashion challenged. However…I travel a lot and prefer to do so in comfort. I’m not talking about yoga pants and t-shirts, because you’ll only see me wearing that ensemble at Walmart. I’m talking about cute maxi dresses (long length so I don’t have to shave, to be honest) with pockets for my phone and boarding pass (or whatever!). I also prefer to wear maxi dresses to work on casual Fridays as well because I’m just not a fan of jeans. I almost always look “done up” but I rarely put any real effort into it.
On a recent weekend trip to North Carolina, I wore a couple new maxi dresses I had purchased from eShakti. This little known online clothing retailer is India based, meaning dresses are custom made to order and take several weeks to come in the mail. ALL of the dresses come with pockets. All. Of. Them. I ordered a standard size 8, included my height, and the dresses were a perfect fit (even with flats!).
So here I am wearing these pretty dresses while walking through airports, flying, hiking, having a picnic by the river, walking through downtown Gatlinburg, tasting wines, and taking pictures. Was I slightly overdressed? Probably, but to me it just feels like wearing a nightgown (with pockets!). I don’t care what people think, honestly. If I feel comfortable and moderately pretty, that’s all that matters. Come Sunday when I was waiting on my return flight home, I got online and ordered four more dresses…and joined their affiliate program now that I’m a huge fan and want to share the love. Keeping in mind that I’m not a fashion blogger, my photos aren’t professional or polished. They’re candid photos or selfies with my phone. A real woman with a real body in unaltered photos. I digress…
Edited since publish date: I had links to specific dresses in this post, but because eShakti has a revolving inventory, I removed the links so no one is disappointed to click on an out-of-stock item. Instead, I’ve made sure the coupon link at the very bottom of this post is valid, and I’ve added candid photos and selfies from the eShakti dresses that I’ve enjoyed.
Happy shopping…and happy traveling!
