The Fall Fashionista Giveaway is next month, and I'm wearing this dress to celebrate!

Dress: eShakti

Jacket: Thrifted (Old Navy)

Necklace: Forever21

Belt: Gap

Bracelet: J. Crew

Shoes: Enzo Angiolini

I love this colorblock dress from eShakti.  It's perfect for pairing with a jacket in fall and winter, and perfect alone during the spring and summer months (I'm a huge fan of versatility!)  I'm also a big fan of eShakti.  I love that I can customize the sleeves and hem lengths.  I have no waist (and don't even get me started on my lack of a chest) and so usually dresses don't ever fit me quite right, but with eShakti's customization, I can get  a perfectly tailored dress.  It's also nice that they have a step-by-step guide on how to take your correct measurements!

InstaLife + Giveaway Winner

Life as I know it:

We waited all winter for Pool Season, and Kansas gives us a cold front with temperatures in the 60s.  Thanks Kansas.  I mean that from the bottom of my heart....eye roll.

Park play and Baseball Games.  Another Summer pastime.  And my new stripe t-shirt dress from Banana Republic Factory (Memorial Day score!)

A few more Memorial Day Sale scores - Stuart Weitzman pumps for $120 and JCrew Factory's Rainy Day Flats for $14.99!

 The morning I got caught off-guard by the doorbell ringing before any of us had woken up......The guy actually said, "It will take us a few minutes to get set up, so why don't you go get dressed and then move your car."  I'm pretty sure I'm older than he was, but I probably deserved that.

 The week I ate cheese everyday, and subsequently cycled my butt off (literally, I hope.)

Note to self: Never, ever leave a cooling cake unattended.  At least, not with a three year old on the loose, haha!

And lastly (drumroll please):

The winner of the eShakti Dress Giveaway is:

Shelley Zurek!!

What I Should've Worn: Balloon Girl

Remember that photo with Balloon Girl (scroll to the end)?

Yes, it was awkward.....how does one pose naturally when they are afraid they might ruin the other person's dress?

This is my Pretty, Polished, Perfect. interpretation of a Balloon Dress:

Spectator: Forever21

Necklace: Target

Jacket: Thrifted, Old Navy

Dress: Old Navy

Shoes: Calvin Klein

What do you think?  Is this the conservative, preppy version of a Balloon Dress??

p.s. We've got a GIVEAWAY going live at 11:01pm CST tonight........
