Today's Outfit

This was our stop for breakfast. Biscuitville. Have you heard of it? It reminded me of fast food, but homemade country breakfast. The food was definitely tasty!

The last day of the reunion was a church service. It was awesome!!! The message was filled with family unity. The scripture reading was Proverbs 4:1-7 and it talked about "get understanding and get wisdom" I truly enjoyed it and we all left well spiritually fed.

The day started with a family meeting and breakfast. BALTIMORE has been selected as the 2012 reunion location... (that means I need to get started working.. get ready for more blog posts, lol.. and a new blog - u gonna join this one too?) The rest of the day was filled with shopping and a visit to the Harley Davidson store in Rocky Mount. Then that evening we had a banquet where we honored my great-great aunt and my grandmother on their 88th and 84th birthdays, respectively.

Family Reunion - Day 1 Arrival

The trip started out well. We drove for about two hours and we stopped at Joe's Crab Shack in Fredericksburg, VA. A few different members in the family had seen the commercials and wanted to eat there, but there isnt a location near Baltimore. We had a great time enjoying the seafood and the family fun times.

My little cousin was all smiles.. aawwwll!

Also, I got my hair done last night..."vacation hair" but it was to big to wear out to work. Maybe tomorrow I will wear it out, since I will be on cruise control (lol) to my vacation (eventhough I have a day full of meetings tomorrow).

Why wait??? .. - Eshakti Review

So I was offered to review an item for eShakti. And when I was asked, I was totally elated. As we all know how much I like their styles and craftsmanship. I blogged about them here and here.
.
I selected this dress to review, and I must admit the experience was awesome!!! I LOVE this dress. I got it in the mail yesterday, and I was so excited to wear it that I could hold off on this one, I had to wear it today.

So here is my REVIEW:

.
PROS : This dress fits amazing. I love how it feels and it really is perfect in all the places that I tend to have issues with other garments (ie arm hole to large, or not fitting properly in the top). The color is perfect and I love the flowers at the shoulder. The black bands hit at the perfect location to cinch in my waist and are very comfortable. This is a goodversatile dress for day or night. It feels very comfortable on and it was a great choice.
.
CONS: Mostly the cons for this dress are all my fault. As you can see I have on a pair of crop leggins. When I ordered the dress, I said that I wanted it to hit me mid thigh (I ordered the dress 'Above the knee').. bad choice, clearly this was a misjudgement on my part because eShakti sent me the dress exactly as I requested (thats a good thing ofcourse). But I think its a little to short [on me], especially for work so I wore leggins. If I wasnt going to work I would have worn the dress without the leggins (maybe). I think I will be sure to request that all my future dresses/skirts are atleast knee length or mid-calf in some cases depending on the dress. Previously I had issue with non-existant linning on the skirt I reviewed. This dress could have had a linning too, but its not needed as was the case for the skirt. But it would have been a nice bonus to the construction of the dress. The last thing, Im not sure about is, how will this dress hold up after washing. I will let you know.
.
And since we are considering virtual shopping. Here are a few more items that I would love to have from eShakti. And I will probably order a few more dresses before the summer is over. some of these styles I have liked since I first found their website.
