Neogoth Sportif

eShakti dress outfit

I wore this to go out the other night. We went to an 8-bit show to see what that's all about. In theory, music made with modified Nintendo Game Boys seems like it could be pretty cool, but in reality it was like a terrible miniature version of a 90's-style rave without any glowsticks or parachute pants. Whatever Kraftwerk-esque fantasy I had dreamed up was shattered. We lasted about 5 minutes before heading off for drinks.

  • Custom eShakti ruffled mesh dress
  • Ankh pendant - gift from my good friend, Solly
  • Hot pink fishnet fingerless gloves - eBay
  • Wet Seal purple leopard tights with glittery sparkles
  • Wet Seal gray and neon green tube socks
  • 80%20 Cody boots - REVOLVEclothing

eShakti Contest

The dress came from eShakti. The lovely Nadia has the same dress only without sleeves (and she looks way gorgeous in it!). I had them add sleeves to mine. That's the cool thing about eShakti. They custom tailor everything to best fit your unique body and preferences. Have you ever liked a dress but wished it were shorter/longer, had a different neckline or different sleeves? With eShakti, they give you a little menu so you have the option of making custom changes with the click of a button. How cool is that?! Right now, they have a contest going until March 31. Check it out!

    You guys get those 8-bit shows to? I thought it was just one guy in Toronto! Must be some sort of world phenomenon that I wasn’t fully aware of.

    Great eShakti review!

    I always think it’s funny when I rock an outfit, but the event I’m going to underwhelms. At least someone was workin’ it the night you went out in this.

    This is awesome – my ex used to think that 8-bit stuff was WAY ironic but it just did my head in…

    Your gloves gave me a flashback to ’80s Madonna, in a good way.

    I’m having a sudden urge to go hangout by my locker and stare down all the popular girls while cracking my gum. This outfits makes me nostalgic for everything good about the late 80s and 90s.

  25. Vera, on March 19th, 2010 at 11:42 am Said:

    Good Look……
    Adorei Brasil – Rio de Janeiro

  26. Claire, on March 19th, 2010 at 1:17 pm Said:

    At least you were dressed for an occasion – it would have been worse to have dressed down AND for it to be disappointing.

    I want to see what’s in your wardrobe!! http://bit.ly/d8kuou

    Danielle – Yeah, I hadn’t heard of it before, either. Though I had heard Crystal Castles–I didn’t know about the 8-bit movement. The show I saw was unfortunate.

    EmilyKennedy – Hehe ;) Yeah, it was still a fun night.

    MJ – Nah, this stuff seemed serious.

    ly bad lol :D

    Tee Sea – Cool, I totally will. :)

    Ali – Yeah! Sheer is good.

    Freebie Source – I know this is probably spam but I’ll take it. ;)

    ediot – Thanks, Edie, you too! xx

    fashion therapist – I saw the tunic you got too, you look great in it!

    WendyB – I’ve been on a gloves kick lately. It’s because I’m self-conscious about my hands… shh!

    All Women Stalker – Thanks, it’s a good thing something on me looks classy, lol.. ;)

    Susan – I didn’t enjoy the show! Heh, but thanks :)

    Robyn – Word.

    Kristin – Lol…

    apparellel – I try! xx

    prettyneons – I know, right? lol

    Beauty and the Bitch – Oh, your comment makes me remember how some girl had written that I was a bitch on the locker room wall in high school and I was soooo pleased to find it! hahaa

    Michelle – It’s part of the dress. Isn’t that cool?

    EVERYONE – Thanks for all your sweetness! xoxox

    I love those boots and it’s great the way you paired this entire outfit. Great look!

  33. Panty Buns, on March 28th, 2010 at 10:44 am Said:

    I love tiered blouses and dresses, and the sheer sleeves are a nice extra feminine touch. The fuchsia fingerless gloves look pretty on you too.
