DownEast Basics Review and Giveaway

DownEast Basics is a company that I became a huge fan of 2 years ago when I reviewed one of their dresses. It was a classic dress with roses on it. I wear that dress to work often and get many compliments each time! It is well made and has had no issues in these last couple of years.  This time, I was able to choose an item that I liked and I loved this Be Happy Tank right when I saw it.

What first attracted me to it was the very fun design with the flowers. Also, I thought it was unique as I had not seen other items like this before. This top comes in the yellow color that you see above as well as a grey color. Yellow is my favorite color so I knew that I would love this one. This top retails for $39.99. It is well made and when I put it on, my sister said that it was very flattering.

I will definitely be wearing this top all summer with a skirt, shorts or capris. It can be worn casually or worn with heels all dressed up.


Here are some of my other favorite DownEast Basics clothing:

Giveaway
The giveaway will be for any DownEast Basics clothing item of your choice.
