Easter Photos with My Klair Marie | eShakti Dress Review

I love Easter. Growing up, my mom would always buy me a dress in a bright, springy color that I could twirl and flaunt. Now that I have a daughter of my own, I want to keep this tradition alive... for both of us. Because let's face it, I may be grown up but there are some things I choose not to grow out of...such as my love of dressing up on the Easter holiday. It's fun! And having the cutest baby around to coordinate with doesn't hurt either. 

eShakti sent me this dress, and I am in love with it... and with their company. They reached out to me a few weeks ago and let me pick a design. First of all, I love their business model. They have dresses (and other apparel) from size 0 to size 36, and  they feature real women of all sizes on their website and social media sites.  Additionally, they make customizations based on your body type and style preferences. For instance, this dress that I picked was originally sleeveless and had a longer hemline. I was able to add sleeves, and shorten it to account for the fact that I'm a little vertically challenged. They asked for my measurements, and within a couple of weeks they sent me my dress--designed perfectly for me. Oh and the best part? My dress has pockets! 
Perfect for a mom on the go... or for any woman for that matter.

Basically my experience with them was awesome, and if you want a dress for a special occasion, or if you just want to treat yourself to something nice... I highly recommend eShakti. Check them out for yourself. And, if you decide to buy something, use the coupon code "awees" to get 10% off an order from now until May 4th. 


Also, in case you're wondering, these photos were taken at the Draper LDS temple. We made a trip up there yesterday, and I'm glad we did. The grounds were absolutely stunning and bursting with new life for spring. Klair was enchanted with the flowering trees and bright blooms all around her. And, of course, the temple itself was captivating. Being on those sacred grounds with my little family was a good reminder of the true meaning of Easter. 
Klair was such a good sport for the photos, but as we were leaving Sam snapped this gem. 
It looks like my intuitive little girl knew that we were done, and she was celebrating.

    1. Thanks, Leah! And I totally agree. It's nice to have something that is made for your body, rather than always trying to fit your body into something that's already made. Plus, the ability to add sleeves rocks, especially for the sake of modesty. It's so hard to find a nice dress that you don't have to cover up with a cardigan! :)

  5. You two look FAB! Have you ever done a tutorial on how to make those hairbows? I'd LOVE to learn before baby girl comes this summer! (Oh and just email me back... don't reply on here. You'll find most bloggers prefer that since most don't jump back to a page to find a reply! :)

  7. Hi Autumn. I just found your blog today and I love your blog, your style and the fact that you are Mom to a little girl, also. We have that in common. My Vivian is 15 months old. How old is beautiful Klair? Love her name too.

    I love your custom-made eShakti Dress and would love to be able to get a free dress from them, too. Klair looks gorgeous in her Easter Outfit too.

    Anyway, I am a big fan of your blog already. I follow you via both GFC and Bloglovin. I welcome you to check out my blog and hopefully support me too by following. Thanks so much, Ada. =)
