:: Review and Giveaway - DownEast Basics

So, I've said this a million times.

I love DownEast Basics.

It was love at first sight when I discovered it 5 years ago

and I've been shopping there ever since.

So I made a little trip to the closet and counted how many items I have of theirs.

Ummm.

Let's see.

6 dresses. 3 skirts. 7 tops. 2 pants. 3 sweaters. 3 swimsuits.

See. Love them.

I love their affordability, style, quality, and that the clothing is actually modest!

They also have adorable accessories, swimsuits, girls clothing, and items for the home.
So, needless to say, I was so excited to find out that I'd be doing a review of an item

and then do a giveaway for one of my lovely readers.

Aren't you?!

I was checking out their new arrivals and absolutely loved

this dress here.

My hubby would definitely have to take me out to a fancy, shmancy restaurant in this.

Also loved this top here.

I might wear this for a fun girls night out.

And this skirt here.

Ummm. Could I wear this all the time?

Oh, decisions, decisions.

Well, I finally chose this sweater here.

Perfect for the Fall weather that has been creeping around my little city.

I tried it out yesterday and loved it.

I wore it to church and paired it with a black pencil skirt and gray top.

{I'm terrible at the self-portraits. Obviously.}

Then I paired it with their skinny jeans and a white tank top.

If you know me personally, then you know that I'm not the model type.

{I try to do serious poses and looks and then just start laughing.}

So there you have it. I might be their biggest fan.

{And I really would like them to open one up in

Temecula, California . . . please, pretty please?}

One lucky person will get their favorite item for Fall.

Here are the rules:

Mandatory entry

- visit DownEast Basics in the new arrivals and tell me what favorite item you'd like to have for the Fall and where you'd where that item
