hi, guys! today i have a giveaway for you.

i recently received a dress from shabby apple. i am sure you have seen a few (or more than a few) giveaways for shabby apple in blog land lately. they are reaching out to blog readers and giving away gift cards for their vintage inspired clothing website, shabbyapple.com.

when they reached out to me, they let me pick out a dress for myself to review along with the giveaway. i am the most indecisive person on the planet and they have a zillion cute dresses, so narrowing it down was a long process!  i started out by using their “fit to flatter” feature which asks questions to help you select items that will flatter your figure.  after finding my shape, i was presented with a plethora of dresses that were all super cute. a few of my favorites…

“ingrid”

i absolutely LOVE everything about this dress! the floral pattern, the cut, the stitching, and the color–i love it all. in fact, i love it so much that i will be purchasing the very similar dress, calooh! callay! 

i have worn the dress twice now, and both times several people have mentioned how much they love it. even my bosses complimented me on it and they usually make fun of my outfits! that sounds a little conceited, but it has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the dress. it really is a beautiful piece of clothing.

the only downside of shabby apple is their sizing. you may be a size 4 in one dress and a size 8 in another. on the upside, there are a LOT of reviews on their website and you should be able to figure out what size to order based on the reviews. in fact, the reviews on the dress i received were so great that they sealed the deal on my selection. it’s also helpful that each item has a star-rating system from zero to five stars. i am all about consumer reviews!

like i mentioned at the beginning of this post, shabby apple is offering a giveaway to meals & moves readers. one commenter on this post will receive a $50 shabby apple gift card.

to enter:

  • check out the shabby apple site and leave a comment below stating which item is your favorite!

i will pick a winner (USA residents only, FYI) on friday.

good luck!

I love the “I’m Late I’m Late” dress. My sisters in law all wore that dress to my sister in law’s wedding (well, except for the one getting married :-) ). I didn’t know that I’d have time off work to attend until a few weeks before and by that time the dress was on back order. So I didn’t match at the wedding. Oh well.

emily July 10, 2012 at 10:03 pm

The “I’m Late, I’m Late” lace dress might just be my favorite thing ever.

Sydney July 10, 2012 at 10:04 pm

I love the Andes Skirt. Such a fun print in a classic silhouette.

natalie July 10, 2012 at 10:07 pm

I like the desert modern dress

Amber July 10, 2012 at 10:08 pm

jennifer July 10, 2012 at 10:20 pm

The Mad Hatter is so perfect! I’m in love!

Kate July 10, 2012 at 10:52 pm

I’m in my cousin’s wedding in the fall. And I think I’ve just decided that I’m going to wear “I’m late, I’m late” to the rehearsal dinner.

LaceyAnn July 10, 2012 at 11:03 pm

I love love love Ingrid

Becca July 11, 2012 at 4:49 am

The “fit to flatter” tool is so helpful! It didn’t exactly make my decision easier since it found all the dresses that I’d probably like :) I think I’d have to choose Cider, I don’t think I own anything in orange, sounds fun!

marie July 11, 2012 at 4:52 am

Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!

I’d go with the CALOOH! CALLAY!. It’s just so pretty.
