What I Wore: Birthday Date Night

Dress: eShakti (16) | Faux fur stole: SoleSociety (similar) | Coat: Amazon (XXL) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Bracelet: Had forever (similar)
Saturday night we stayed at The National Harbor. While we didn't have chi chi plans for the evening, it was my birthday and I love being chi chi! I wore my eShakti maxi dress (previously seen on the blog in this post) and just like I did for Christmas Eve when I also wore this dress, I jazzed up the neck with this dark green faux fur stole. It was a cold night so I wore my new leopard faux fur coat and slid the stole forward like a scarf. It was… a lot but worth it when I walked into Redstone Grill and the women at the hostess stand all raved and one called me a beautiful butterfly! It was a great reminder to give compliments to strangers, it can really make their day (or night!).
Looking beautiful birthday girl !
Thank you!
I love that when you dress up for an occasion, you do it up! You probably looked like someone famous all ready for a night on the town! A maxi dress always makes for a glam look, but I too would have never considered it for a winter event. But, now that you mention all the layers of warmth you can hide underneath, then absolutely, I’d consider it. Looks like you two had a great romantic weekend. Much love to you both.
Aww thank you Sonia!! Hope you are healing nicely!
I LOVE the stole
Thanks Meghan!
Gorgeous outfit, and your makeup looks extra amazing in these photos.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous!
Thanks!
Girl that outfit is smokin’ hot. I love that dress. How I missed this website, I do not know. is this a site you recommend?
eShakti? I’ve had mixed experiences with them. I think if I ordered with measurements instead of sizing I’d be happier. I recommend reading the comments in this post as many readers have bought from them and have amazing suggestions: http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2016/12/eshakti-review.html
The green stole is a knockout with your dress!
Thank you!
Stunning!

You are a beautiful butterfly, Allie!! What a perfect description!!
It’s funny, because I don’t see as many maxis in the winter, so the 3 of us just did a series on them. It’s nice to see you wear yours too!!

I love maxis in winter, you can hide tall boots, wool socks, longjohns and more!
