Have you ever had an issue while shopping, trying to find the perfect fit item that you're absolutely obsessed with? I know more often than not I'll love an item on the hanger, but something about how it sits on my body may not be right.

Obviously this is part of shopping 101, try on EVERYTHING, but what are you supposed to do when you can't? eShakti has a great selection of clothing that you can customize in both cut and fit so you know you'll love an item the second you see it.

When selecting an item, you can adjust things such as the neckline (whether you want a vneck, boat neck etc) as well as inputting your personal measurements to guarantee the perfect fit. I've linked this bomber to their website, and you'll notice that on the mannequin it hits at the waist. I prefer longer jackets but was so in love with the print and knew that if the length was adjusted it would be perfect. I also gave my measurements just to make sure that the jacket didn't sit awkwardly on me.

Now that I actually have the jacket, I am beyond thrilled. While I do wish that it was a bit warmer for the cold months ahead, the website does give specifics such as fabric content. I just knew I needed this jacket even if it's getting too chilly to wear on it's own, it's definitely great to have around the office.

Thank you so much eShakti for this lovely sample and be sure to click the links above to check out their selection!

Happy Tuesday!!!

I hope you're all doing well and enjoyed the weekend! Today's post is all about this super cute tribal cropped jacket that I got from bebe. I had been obsessing over it for a few weeks and finally got my hands on it last Thursday. I really cannot wait to wear it out as it gets a bit warmer! The print, although technically tribal, is really sophisticated. It's definitely appropriate for a business casual day at work as well as your day to day life. It even comes with matching shorts! I cannot wait to wear this business casual suiting combo, possibly for 4th of July! In the final shot I gave you a side view of the jacket to show off some of it's details and exactly why I am so obsessed with it.

Have you recently purchased anything that you cannot stop thinking about? What about a favorite piece that you always like to wear? Let me know about it in the comments below!

Autumn Awakening: Striped Sweater & Leather Accents

 pēlle moda leather jacket - similar here and here, Superdry crew sweater, Cotton On skirt, Calvin Klein tights, Call It Spring booties, bracelets from childhood, ring from friend, J. Crew necklace

For today's look I wanted to put together an outfit that I had worn to class around this time last year. It's a simple look that can be dressed up a bit more with heels, but is still casual enough for your day time activities. I paired this Superdry top with a simple grey cotton skirt, some black tights to keep me warm, and I added texture with my quilted leather jacket and faux leather booties. To add some shine to the look, I wore a set of gold bracelets that my grandmother gave to me as a child, a simple skull ring (you'll soon learn that I have an obsession with skull accessories), and my J. Crew necklace. As the weather changes it's important to stay warm, but that doesn't mean you can't look cute doing it!

Thank you so much for reading!!
