DownEast Basics Review & Giveaway

As I get older, I find I become more picky about the clothes I wear. Having had two children, and currently pregnant with baby #3, my body continues to change with each year that passes. That's why I'm always looking for cute and stylish clothing that I can feel good and confident in. Thankfully, I've found just that with DownEast Basics!

Offering high-design and trendy fashions at low prices, DownEast Basics offers something for everyone. Their clothing line includes cute tops, skirts, dresses, accessories and more to enhance any woman's wardrobe. Over the past several years, DownEast Basics has continued to grow and become a company people come to when looking for high quality, fashionable styles at affordable prices.

I was first introduced to DownEast Basics last year and fell in love with their stylish, yet modest and affordable clothing. Browsing their website never gets old, as the selection of clothes offered is very impressive! I always find something I like which is why I was excited to learn I was going to have the opportunity to review another of their great items!

DownEast Basics sent me their Over the Shoulder Tee to review.

As a stay at home mom, we're home quite a bit, which means comfortable, casual clothes make up most of my wardrobe. When it's time to go somewhere and get a bit more dressed up, I don't have a lot to choose from. That's why I'm always looking for more dressy attire that I can wear with either jeans or black pants...and have definitely found that with the Over the Shoulder Tee!

The Jadeite color is absolutely beautiful. I love that it's neutral and have found that it goes with everything from a nice pair of jeans to black pants and khakis...pretty much anything! This makes it easy to dress up or dress down depending where we're going.

As always, the quality from DownEast Basics is more than impressive! I can tell this is something that will last me a long time, and for that I am thrilled. I love the care that goes into every detail. On this top, it's definitely the jeweled bow over the shoulder that really stands out as unique and beautiful. I love it and have received many compliments on the top when wearing it.
Being nearly 9 months pregnant, I wasn't sure how it would fit...but decided to get a size small which is the size I typically wear when not pregnant. I had high hopes that it might even fit my growing bump now since DownEast Basics offers more modest, longer styles of tops. Thankfully, I found that it fit me, so I've been able to wear it several times, even while pregnant! I love the longer length, and know this is something I will appreciate even when not pregnant.


Another thing I love, is the half-sleeve style. I'm picky about the way things cover my arms, and prefer to wear a half-sleeve or full sleeve...so this top has been perfect! It's especially nice for this time of year as the weather cools off a bit.

Overall I've been very happy with the Over the Shoulder Tee from DownEast Basics! The quality is fantastic, and best of all...I have found modest apparel without sacrificing style and comfort. For those looking for clothing they can feel good and confident wearing, I would definitely recommend DownEast Basics!
