Are you as ready for Spring as I am?
I'm teaming up with DownEast Basics today and am so excited.
Their new spring arrivals are so pretty.
I had the opportunity to pick ANY item from their new arrivals
and boy was it hard to choose!
I finally decided on the Mini Bouquet Cardi in a pretty mint green color.
I'm always a sucker for a cute cardigan.
And, while my usual color choice is grey, I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone and go with a pretty pastel. The embroidered flowers have the pop of color that I so love.
That little bit of teal in there sealed the deal for me.
For this week's What I Wore...here is the cardigan two different ways!
Lucky for me, it has been sunny this past week, really getting me in the mood for Spring.
Sunday - Dressy
I thought I'd try out what I might wear on Easter!
Mini Bouquet Cardi - DownEast Basics
Cami - DownEast Basics
Grey Taffeta Skirt - Made myself
Grey Ruffled Heels - Target
White Blouse - Local Boutique
Jeans - Standard & Practice Jeggings Nordstrom
Brown Boots - Nine West Outlet
Grey Dahlia Earrings - My FVK Shop
Even the back of the cardigan has sweet embroidery details too.
Love that!
is their generous giveaway I get to offer to you, my dear readers!
Well, they are offering one of my readers the same opportunity!

Good Luck! Thanks, DownEast Basics.
P.S. I'm linking up with the stylish Lindsey and am also a guest blogger on Allora Handmade today....chatting about my fashion/shopping tips!
P.S.S. A note on sizing! I usually wear an XL for DownEast Basics tops and dresses but I like my cardi's to fit a little snug. I got this one in a Large. It fits good, but is a little roomy. Possibly could have even gone with a Medium.

I came over from WIWW, well sort of...clicked peoples side bars and found you!! I've just recently heard of down east but I love love love the spring scarf cardigan!! thanks for the chance to win!!! The spring cardi looks adorable on you!!!

I'd never heard of Down East Basics before, but now I love them! Particularly the frosted flower cardigan . . . although some of the skirts also make me really excited for spring. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally covet the Draped and Dazzle top in rose wine. I think I'll have to covet it in medium. Coveting is bad, right? I may have to work on that.
ReplyDeleteI am desperately in love with the Frosted Flowers Cardigan. From what I can tell it is the same (if not REALLY close) color as my spring roses that are budding right now... I LOVE LOVE D.E.B... This is my first time on your blog and I have cant stop reading. Thanks for all the fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteDown East Basics Face book page is how I found your blog. I (LOVE) like D.E.B on Face book
ReplyDeleteI like Down East Basics on Facebook, so I can covet other stuff, too.
ReplyDeleteI follow the Down East Basics blog, so I can learn how to wear what I covet. (I need all the help I can get.)
