The Perfect Fit Mid-Length Skirt- eShakti Review
I think we’ve all been in the situation where you find something you love, then you try it on and you can’t find a size that works for you. It’s either too big, too long, too short or too tight. If you really love it, you could buy it and pay for alterations, but who wants to go through all the hassle of finding a tailor and then waiting weeks before you can wear it? When I found out that there was a website called eShakti where you could order clothes at an affordable price and they could be sized to fit your body type, I was excited.

A Love for Stripes
I know that I’m not alone when I say that I LOVE STRIPES! It’s no secret. For whatever reason, the black and white pattern catches my eye every time. But each pattern of stripes that I buy is a little different than the rest. When I go shopping, I am so practical. I look for clothes that I’m going to get good use out of and that can be worn over and over again. For me, stripes are always the answer.
I went on a fast from shopping last month. After Memorial Day, I told myself that I wasn’t allowed to buy any new clothes for the month of June. I made it through June, and since I’m going on vacation this weekend, I wanted to get a new dress. I fell in love with this white dress with black stripes (SIMILAR) from TJMaxx. I felt that the black on white stripes gave it a nautical feel that would be perfect for a beach vacation.
The best color to accessorize stripes with in my opinion is a cognac or camel brown. It always makes the stripes pop. I’ve been so light on my jewelry this summer because it’s so hot. Unless I plan on spending the entire day in air conditioning, I usually just wear statement earrings of some sort. I love these little teardrop earrings I found at Walmart for $2 (SIMILAR). My necklaces tend to tarnish when I sweat behind my neck in the heat (#cheapjewelryproblems), so instead, I’ve been using my sunglasses (SIMILAR) as my neck accessory and wearing them in my shirt when they are not over my eyes. This dress is perfect on its own, but I layered it with my thrifted denim vest (SIMILAR) for this look. A denim vest makes for a great alternative to a denim jacket in the summer. It gives the same look, but the sleeveless vest helps when it’s so hot out. For shoes, I went with my favorite slip-on wedges (SIMILAR). These shoes are so comfy, I can wear them for a full day and my feet don’t hurt.

Casual Sporty Look
Hey everyone! Today, my family and I are headed to a baseball game. Each year, my husband’s company gives their employees free tickets to a Las Vegas 51’s game, and since it’s one of the few events that are family-friendly, we always look forward to it.
Now I’m no expert on sports, but I am married to a huge sports fan, so many of our outings together in our marriage and dating years have revolved around sports. I always say that I like the social part of sporting events. I like hanging out with friends, drinking beer and eating food. I also like to put together cute sporty outfits. Whether it’s tailgating or a baseball game, I always like to dress down, but also look cute.
For today’s outfit post, I decided I’d share the outfit that I put together for the game tonight. I’m wearing my thrifted Abercrombie shorts with my thrifted Gap navy stripe t-shirt. Since not many people are from Las Vegas, everyone seems to sport their hometown team at the 51’s game, that’s why I’m wearing my Tigers hat. For my shoes, I went with my Convers, because I think that they complete the sporty look perfectly.

The Perfect Mom One-Piece Bathing Suit

I know that summer vacation is coming to an end for most people and fall fashion is on the brain, but here in Las Vegas we still have a few more months of summer weather left. That’s why I felt like now would be a good time to talk about bathing suits. Unlike most people who typically buy bathing suits early in the season, I like to wait until August to do my bathing suit shopping. You can usually find some really great prices on bathing suits in late summer.
This summer, I spent a lot of time looking for the right bathing suit, for the right price. I wanted to find something different this summer that was a little more conservative than my other suits. I only own 2 piece bikini’s, but now that I’m a mom, I wanted to find something that was a little more practical. I browsed all my favorite stores this summer, looking for a one-piece that I could easily wear while swimming with Jack, but also wouldn’t make me look like an old lady, but I could not find anything.
After no luck in the stores, I decided I had to look online. I don’t shop online very often, but sometimes it can be very convenient for a working mom. After searching for lots of online stores, I ended up going with Amazon. I always underestimate shopping on Amazon for clothes. We buy a lot of things from Amazon, but I always forget that you can buy almost anything there, including bathing suits. I found that Amazon had the best selection and the best prices.
I ended up buying2 bathing suits for under $30 for both. Today, I’m focusing on this black scalloped halter one-piece bathing suit. (I’ll save the other bathing suit for a later post.) This suit was everything I was looking for in a one-piece. It’s conservative, yet youthful. I love the scallop look and I went with black because it’s always a safe color choice. I like how this bathing suit has a high neckline because that was a problem I was running into with my other bathing suits. Jack was always pulling at my top.
So far I’m happy with my purchase. It had been so long since I last wore a one-piece, that I forgot how much I liked them. Now I feel like I’m all ready to enjoy the rest of our pool season!
If you’re looking for a new mom-friendly bathing suit, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money, I’ve rounded up 12 great bathing suits for you. All of them are under $30! I wish that I could buy them all!
