Shabby Apple Review and Giveaway

I was so excited when Shabby Apple contacted me not only a review of a dress, but a giveaway for you, too!  As it so happens, I have a rehearsal dinner to attend soon and needed the perfect “Fall” dress for the event.  I selected the Knave of Hearts.
Scalloped tiers of openwork lace in a soft pink  hue descend from a dainty grosgrain ribbon that defines the waist of the Alice dress. The charming shape--cap sleeves and a high boat neck, nipped at the waist and full through the skirt--lets the color do all the talking (or is that your next door neighbor wishing out loud that she knew your style secrets?).  Dress it up with dainty kitten heels or bold tights for a perfectly eye-popping look.

I love the look of vintage clothing and this just fit the bill.  The description says that the dress is a little tight fitting, so I ordered up a size to be safe.  Let me tell you, this dress is so comfortable, and I am in love with the length.  I am not a big girl, but I have some big thighs, so I love a dress that can cover that up and hit around me knee!  This past weekend I put on my whole Fall rehearsal dinner outfit and had Chris take some pictures of me.  Of course I had to get the settings ready for him, as I am the photog in our family, but he did a fairly good job.  Perhaps I should have stood on my own stump and mimicked the model. 😉  I know my limitations.

As you can see, I donned a tan scarf on my head, and brown boots to give this dress a Fall look.  However, I can totally see it worn in any season.  In the summer I imagine it with gold strappy sandals, and in the Spring, some pale pink shoes would add a nice soft touch!

Now one of you has a chance to win this dress, the Ballerina!  I selected this style for you as I love the color, and I think it’s a flattering fit for many shapes and sizes.
Purple ballerina dress has ruching at waist with a v-neckline.

You have up to two entries.  Leave a comment for each that you do and make sure you leave me an email address. US Residents only please.
1. Like Shabby Apple on Facebook.
2. Follow Shabby Apple on Instagram.

That’s all!  This giveaway will be open until Next Weds, October 23, and the winner will be notified via email.  If I don’t have an email a new winner will be drawn.
Good luck!
