Shabby Apple Memorial Day Giveaway

I first became aware of Shabby Apple’s fabulousness last year when a couple of bloggers wrote about their classically chic dresses. I searched through their inventory in absolute awe, hoping that an invitation would arrive in the mail to give me a reason to snatch up some goods.

Then, while three months pregnant I found out they made a maternity line! Husby and I had just booked our vacation to Anguilla with Babes and it seemed like the perfect opportunity! I happily ordered away. It fit like a button on vacation and afterwards it was set aside in hopes that the dress would still fit once the warm weather rolled around.

I didn’t have to wait long.

For Babes's ladybug birthday party, my sister (Me Sew Crazy) made Babes the most adorable ladybug dress and guess what matched to a tee? My Shabby Apple dress - Finding Out!



So when they approached me a couple weeks ago to see if I’d be interested in Shabby Apple providing one of my readers with a free dress, you can imagine my excitement! After all, look at these dresses:


  1. Champs Elysees (little blue dress anyone?)
  2. Seven Seas in Seersucker
  3. Happy Talk
  4. San Gabriel
How could I say no?

So once again, I scoured the women’s dresses in search of the perfect dress to giveaway and after much back and forth and perhaps another small purchase for myself, I landed on Spanish Steps.


I’ve been dreaming about our Roman Holiday for quite some time now - reminiscing about all the fun we had and how I can’t wait to go back when our kids are older. This dress would have been perfect for touring the churches and heading straight to dinner afterwards.

Well, a girl can dream.

Until then, this number would be perfect with a little faux glow at a summer picnic or barbecue and it'll bring you right into fall with it’s earthy tones!

I would love to wear something European on the Spanish steps like a simple outfit with a pashmina. preppysouthernprincess@gmail.com

AEOT said...

I wish I could say that I would wear it on my next European adventure. Alas, I have no such vacay planned! Instead I would wear it ALL the time to work as I live in dresses in the summer and this is perfectly polished for my office!!

Shabby Apple carries gorgeous clothes!!
