Mama Bird Style: Eshakti

A little over a year ago I had written this post over at Love, Joleen about style after baby. I have always had curves and as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to embrace them especially after my body did a significant 180 on me with the birth of our son. As much as I wanted and still do at times desire to fit into smaller sizes, I’ve put my focus on what flatters my shape most and I feel comfortable in! I recently was contacted by Eshakti to be a partner in their Real Fashion for Real People Campaign (follow them on Instagram to see more) – after seeing their vision I had to jump on board! Eshakti is the only online women’s fashion apparel company offering sizes 0-36W AND custom clothing. Not only do they have flattering items for all shapes and sizes, you can customize your item from the hem length, sleeve style, and even pockets – yes I said pockets (which is a must have in my world!). 
When looking through the array of options, I had narrowed it down to three dresses – but had such a hard time deciding. I knew I wanted something versatile and definitely comfortable…something I could wipe any stain off and still keep the day going. This dress was a perfect fit – literally! The seams, the fit, and the sleek style are exactly what I need to still be able to chase after Kai and stand next to my husband at the church business meeting (which I did last Sunday!). Yes, I know that black is simple, but I am an old soul and have always loved a great classic piece in my closet. 
So just to keep it fun, I created three simple style options that I know anyone can use and reuse without having to purchase anything additional! So pull out your cardigans, blazers, or even jean jackets to add a twist to your item from this phenomenal company! I love simple details like earrings and even shoes to give each look a completely different feel. The dress came with a sash that I made sure to incorporate whether not wearing it or having it wrapped around to create a ruching effect. I hope you’re inspired friends!!

Sincere beauty exudes from the place where you truly see your worth.
I am in love with the Real Fashion for Real People Campaign, because it was a much needed opportunity for me to reconnect with the person I desire to feel and see on a daily basis. Behind the uncombed hair or sticky clothes that I can’t figure out how they got dirty, this is who I feel I am and what I love about myself. I hope that you are just as pleased with your shopping experience with Eshakti as I was. From their options to their speedy delivery, please tag them on Instagram and myself as well!
From now until November 7th Eshakti is giving A Blue Swallow readers 10% off their purchase! 
Use the code: theblueswallow
This code can be used MULTIPLE TIMES!! So shop away friends!

  • This time last year, the Lord started challenging the thought of pausing our homeschooling journey. Honestly… I wasn’t happy about it because it wasn’t part of my plan. Even the kids weren’t fully on board at first. 🥹

If I’m being honest, part of me felt like I was losing. Homeschooling isn’t easy, and after years of pouring into our kids, I wrestled with whether putting them in school meant I had somehow failed them.

But somehow through all the emotions, questions, and transitions, we made it through their first year in school.

And wow… proud is an understatement.

Each of them shattered every stereotype people love to place on homeschooled kids. They shined bright, made meaningful friendships, adapted with courage, and walked into new spaces fully themselves.

This year reminded me that what is poured into our kids at home goes with them wherever they go. Everything we’ve prayed over them, spoken over them, and believed about them showed up in real time.

Watching them succeed didn’t make me feel like I had failed. It reminded me that this season wasn’t the end of something. It was evidence that God had been faithful through all of it. ❤️

  • It’s only fitting to have an interview with the Champion 😂 - just in case you’re ready to enter into the pencil fighting ring one day 👀
  • Learned how to pencil fight from what appears to be a retired middle school pencil-fighting champion. His technique was oddly specific… like this man definitely had a reputation in 7th grade 😂✏️

  • Random Friday thoughts… because I can’t shop anyone’s like it at this point 😒
  • Someone recently asked me when I realized I had experienced agape love… and honestly, my first thought was my mom and my sister.

Life has held its share of complicated chapters, and I know what it’s like to navigate distance and hard seasons. Getting older and healing has a way of adjusting the lens. Hindsight really does show you the gifts that were there all along.

This weekend we celebrated my sister’s birthday, and looking back at this photo of us as kids, I’m reminded how precious it is to grow up and realize your big sister is truly your best friend.

Some love doesn’t need to be loud to be deep. I’m really grateful. #sistersister
