Fresh Produce Clothes -- A Review!

Ya'll know I'm a Plus-size gal.

Clothes for me are hard-to-find. Okay... let me be honest, Beautiful clothes are hard-to-find! Too many are just... stinky ... not as pretty as I would like.

It was with great delight (and much relief) that I found Fresh Produce Clothes! Oh, they don't sell just Plus-Sizes, no indeed! They offer Women's Regular and Kids sizes, too!

Fresh Produce offers a great selection of sizes, styles, colours... and don't forget the accessories: Jewelry, Scarves, Bags, and more!

Style, fashion, price... those things play a large role when choosing clothing.  However, when women are truly honest, we know that comfort trumps all.  That's where Fresh Produce makes it's greatest statement.  Their clothes combine stylish design, comfort, and affordable prices!  That can't be beat, friends!

I was blessed to receive the Vintage Slub Drape T in the sweetest Periwinkle. I look good in it, too!   One of things I was told when I received this top was that it would 'change' subtly when laundered.  I thought that a bit odd... bit guess what? It DID!  It launders beautifully and slight variations appear.  It's subtle... you may be the only one to notice.  The colour just seems to dance in the light and it makes me smile every time I wear it.

I've already decided to purchase this same top in other colours.  It's so soft, slinky... I feel sexy in this top! :)

I've found some absolutely gorgeous outfits in their Women's Resort Wear Line.

This particularly strikes my fancy: The Zen Pullover, I especially love the Medium Sky Blue (not shown here.)

In the Accessories Department, I've fallen in love with this oh-so-pretty charming Palm Tree Charm Necklace! I grew up on Tybee Island and had a dozen or so palms in my yard!

You'll spend hours browsing the Fresh Produce on-line catalog and enjoying every minute of it! I do! :D

eShakti -- REVIEW and DISCOUNT -- Ends 10/31/11

I have reviewed the wonderful clothing from eShakti before and was left with a such a positive experience that I was eager when asked to review another item.

I chose the gorgeous Embroidered Melange Jersey Top and it's stunning in person. The photo does NOT do it justice!

Although eShakti offers custom alterations and sizing, I didn't need it for this tunic. I chose my size and it fits perfectly.

eShakti is a unique women's apparel store online that allows custom changes in the style of the garment -sleeve, neckline, length can all be changed by the customer to her preference.

We also offer the full size selection from size 0 -26W and custom sizes, too. Even custom clothes are shipped in 3 business days. We ship across the USA and Canada.

The special appeal of our designs are the embellishments we give via print, embroidery and fabric texturing. So its designer-wear that is not readily seen in stores.

Unlike other stores, we are never out of stock. All the hottest colors of the season in every product and style and in every size is always available.

The internet allows us to be extremely customer-centric by enabling the buying to be interactive. And our advisory panel consists of a body of our customers.

Shakti has generously offered the readers of Gathering My Roses an amazing $20 off when they shop at eShakti - valid till the 31st of October, 2011! Just use the PROMO CODE: ROSES0811 at Checkout!

Shakti means 'power' in Sanskrit. eShakti therefore means the Power of the Net. We believe the internet empowers customers and helps companies be customer-centered.

You can conntect with eShakti on their website and on their Social Media Pages: Facebook and @eShakti on Twitter.
