Besides playing dress up and doing dance shows,
Princess Sparkles and Pigtails really like to play with bugs.
They like to dig them up and keep them as "pets."
They even use leaves to "put them to bed."
This is not my favorite activity but as long as it keeps them busy
(and they keep them OUTSIDE)
then I'm happy they're happy.

| FLORAL MAXI DRESS - c/o eShakti LACE JACKET, BELT, SHOES - Forever 21 BRACELET - Jewelry by Cynde Daniels PEARL CLUSTER RING - Heavenly Treasures |
Today's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Michelle Trachtenberg in a maxi dress and denim jacket. I was thrilled since I just got a new maxi dress from eShakti. Still being in "post pregnancy" form, I decided to go with a stretchy one. As soon as I saw this one-shoulder floral maxi, I knew this is the one I wanted! It's the perfect length and oh so cute. The only issue I had is it's a tad big. I did take my measurements, but because the fabric is stretchy I could've sized down. However, with the help of a belt, I was able to fix the situation!
Some gorgeous dresses I'm eyeing from eShakti:
eShakti is a great online store with plenty to choose from. What makes eShakti so special is they customize their clothing - length, sleeves, even necklines!!! They have so many cute fabrics and styles, something for every size and shape. I really appreciated that they asked me my height for this maxi dress and then made it accordingly! And they're so affordable, especially right now while they're having an amazing 4th of July sale!

It's so hard to find a maxi dress just the right length so it's really exciting when you find a store that will customize it for you! Because while some little princesses like to collect bugs, I have an affinity for maxi dresses!
