Dainty as a Daisy
FTC Disclosure: Thank you to eShakti for sending me this dress to feature on my blog. All opinions are my own, and I am not being compensated for a positive review. Some links may be affiliate links.
Shop the look:
Unassuming, dainty and cheerful, the daisy is not as ostentatious as a lily or fragrant as a rose. They subtlety brighten a room without commanding attention. If there was ever a flower I would want to emulate – it would be the daisy.
They have always been my favorite flower, and I can’t help but smile when I see them. When eShakti first contacted me about featuring one of their dresses on my blog, my eyes immediately went to this one. With its delicate flower embroidery and cheerful color, I couldn’t help but smile.
The best part of this dress, though, is that I was able to customize it to my liking. eShakti is a very unique women’s clothing site because they let you customize nearly every aspect of your order! For this dress I was able to decide what kind of neckline I wanted, if I wanted sleeves and what kind, if I wanted pockets, the length of the dress, whether I wanted the flower embroidery and I also had the option to enter my exact measurements and height, so, eShakti could make it to fit me perfectly. I did not do the custom measurements, as mine were already on the standard sizing. I did, however, add the cap sleeves and entered my height, so I could be sure that the dress hit below my knees, like I wanted. And of course I wanted pockets and the embroidery (who doesn’t want pockets and daisies on their dress?).
I had such a blast designing my dress. My husband even complimented my “designing” abilities. My first order from eShakti was definitely a success, and it will not be my last. I already have my eye on another dress and a cute skirt. Haha.
While I was going through my order for eShakti, I also thought how awesome and affordable this site would be for bridesmaid dresses. The bride could pick out the cut and color of dress and each bridesmaid could customize their size and pick out the way they would want to style it. So, each dress would be the “same” yet unique to each bridesmaid. And this would definitely be a dress they could wear again.
I also had a blast accessorizing this dress. I went a bit daisy crazy let’s just say. Haha. But I wanted to make sure I had every detail in place… so, everyone could see just how awesome this eShakti dress is.

Super lovely! I think I said this on IG, but yellow is definitely your color! I really love the way you styled this dress too, both with the cut and with the accessories. I have yet to indulge in eShakti but I definitely need to sooner than later. Also, really good idea about bridesmaid dresses! XO

Thank you so much, Lauren! It’s funny because this is really one of the only yellow pieces of clothing that I own, but I’ve always loved the color. And you will love eShakti when you do try them out! 🙂
What a gorgeous dress! I love that color and the floral detailing around the waist. I’ve been thinking of trying eShakti for some time now because of how small I am, so if I have a little extra left over after the move, I think I’ll get a dress as a present to myself 🙂
Thank you so much, Devinne! Definitely give it a try! They have a lot of sales going on right now, including $35 coupon when you sign up and there’s also the coupon code “haveclotheswilltravel” for 10 percent off, plus almost everything is on sale on the site at the moment on how..wow after I wrote that all I think I just convinced myself that I should buy a skirt I’ve had my eye on! It may not be so inexpensive for long. Haha. Best of luck with your move!
Ooohhh I’ve been wanting to give eShakti a go forever – that dress looks amazing on you! Yellow is such a happy color… I love the idea of being able to customize each pice of clothing – cause no one fits into a ‘standard’ size! We’re all so different. I’ve been eyeing up those shoes on Modcloth as well – how did you find the fit? You look gorgeous – have a great week! xx
Aw. Thank you so much, Kara! And you would love eShakti! Definitely give them a try. As for the shoes, let me start out by saying I have pretty wide feet, but kind of small ankles…so this style of shoe is always a bit tricky for me. I’m usually a 7 1/2, but I went with the 8 in these to make sure there was enough room with the toe strap. They fit my wide feet, but I feel as though it looks like the back part of the shoes “looks” too big (doesn’t really feel too big), it kind of flairs out – which is strange (if you look at the first photo you can kind of see what I mean). And for me they aren’t the easiest shoes to walk in. Haha. But the quality is great and the little flowers are adorable, and they’re only $13.99..can’t really beat that! I hope you have a great week, too!
I have never heard of them but it’s great that you can customize that much! I love creating something personal and your dress turned out beautiful 🙂

Daisies are my favorite flowers as well! This dress would be perfect for a Summer wedding or a nice date night! — SC at http://www.samanthachic.com
Yay! Daisies are the best. 🙂 And it was actually date night for us right after these pictures were taken, haha. I would definitely wear it to a summer wedding, too! 🙂
I have heard such great things about eShakti! I love the idea where you can customize your dress so it fits you perfectly. As someone who is very petite, this is a great feature! I have always wanted to try it 🙂 Anyway, you look lovely and I love how you customized it. It is so pretty!
