DownEast Basics Review & Giveaway



This summer has been so hot that the thought of wearing pants to work makes me nauseous.  Although we've been granted jeans day for most of the spring and summer I just couldn't do it.  I've been wearing dresses mostly as its so comfortable even when its 100 degrees + outside.


I was given a fabulous review opportunity at DownEast Basics and I headed straight to the dress section.  I chose this cute Time Piece dress.  Black is my favorite color as you can dress it up or down for the occasion.  I can wear this to work with some cute espadrilles or paired with heels and bling I could head out for the night.  At $44.99 its totally in my budget especially with its versatility that allows multiple wears.

Here are a few more items on my wishlist:


BUY IT
Head to Down East Basics online and in-store and check out their collection.  I often have trouble finding items to fit while in a brick and Mortar Store.  I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to exchange the dress - it fit perfectly : )

Just for fun - ‘ pinterest’ your fave looks
One Lucky Freebie Junkie reader will win their top item choice from DownEast Basics
Simply enter via the form below




Disclosure: Thank you to  Down East Basics for the review and giveaway opportunity.  All opinions are of my own, others may vary.
