Today I am stoked to offer a giveaway from DownEast Basics. They also asked me to review a piece from their new arrivals.
They sent me this skirt, which I have been eyeing since it popped up on their site:
I also wanted to show you how the skirt is put together. It's lined in a black poly (which is good for wearing with tights and such because it won't ride up) and covered in a light and airy floral fabric that makes me want to twirl.
Also, notice that the waistband is navy instead of the black band shown on the website.
DownEast Basics is being generous enough to let the winner pick their favorite thing from their new arrivals to take home.
Here are the rules:
You can enter in either (or both) of the 2 ways listed below. Each entry must be notified in the form of a comment on the blog.
- Leave a comment telling me your favorite new arrival at DownEast Basics.
- Post about the giveaway on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter and leave a comment telling me about it.
The Giveaway ends on Sunday, August 8, at 10 PM (Mountain Standard Time).
Good luck.

I like the Window Shop Top and the Miss Modern skirt. They are unique pieces that would be fun to style. And I didn't know Downeast Basics was abbreviated DEB. There's a bad version of a Forever 21- type store called DEB, so that's what I thought people were referring too. Not a lot of good fashion there! Glad I figured it out. I will email you my address if I win, I promise!
ReplyDeleteI want the Fly High or Window Shop top, however I'd be really happy with anything!
