As of late, I have a thing for bodycon dresses in solid, bold colors. It's a way to be chic without putting much (or any) thought into the look, and right now the less energy I can put into figuring out what I'm going to wear, the better.

ESHAKTI: WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?

You all know I am a fan of eShakti (check out all of my posts HERE) and if you think it couldn't get better than cute, customized, affordable clothing, you my friend are wrong. First let me start off by saying eShakti now carries one of my favorite clothing items on the planet — JUMPSUITS!!!!

Secondly, they now make it easier for you to shop by providing you with thematic categories to shop from.

CONTEMPORARY





And lastly, if you create an account you'll get a $30 shopping credit and for this weekend only if you use the code SIMPLYCHIC35, you'll get $35 off your order!

So what's your favorite item? What style do you most identify with — Contemporary, Bohemian or Retro Modern? I see a bit of my schizophrenic style in all 3 :) Maybe the next theme will be Urban Chic or Cali Cool!

Remember in THIS post when I told you I would show you the dressed up version of my zara sweater jacket? Well here it is...me in my LBD (leather black dress). It's the complete opposite of pairing it with sweater joggers but it's so versatile that it still works. I especially love how the leather panels coordinate so perfectly with the leather cutouts on the dress and my Zara strappy sandals & statement necklace from ROCKSBOX pull it altogether.

I don't know what I love more — my sweater jacket from Zara, or my sweater joggers from Gap. I wear the jacket a few times a week because it makes everything a bit more chic. You will see how I dressed it up in a future post.

And, the joggers are soft like cashmere, for a fraction of the price. In fact, I enjoy them so much, I went back to get them in black. They are perfect for travel, running errands or of course you can dress them up a bit with heels like I did here.

I highly recommend both!
