Raise your hand if you've gone shopping with a teenage girl recently? A daughter, sister, niece or friend… How was it? Did you want to pull your hair out after about 20 minutes? Did it turn into a power struggle between you and your shopping companion? Ok, maybe this only happens when my 14 year old and I go shopping. We travel from store to store looking for fun, cute, stylish and MODEST clothes… only to by terribly disappointed. If it's cute and stylish, it shows too much skin. If it covers all the appropriate areas, it's a "Mom, you're kidding me right? That looks like something YOU would wear!"
Hales and I have struggled for sometime now looking for the perfect store for her to shop for some stylish & modest clothes. A few weeks ago we walked into the DownEast Basics store here in Vegas and managed to have the most pleasant shopping trip EVER!!!! Their new spring line is sooooooo cute!! Here is a picture of Hales in one of the cute outfits that we bought that day. It was so funny, the sales ladies where having a ball watching her put together outfits. She came up with some really fun options.
Isn't it CUTE!! {yes I know the Uggs are a little questionable, but whose to argue with a teenager who is willing to get all dolled up for you to take pictures of her to put on your blog!} The outfit is LOVELY!! Every piece the Uneven Beauty skirt, the Across Town cardigan, the belt, even the Rhinestone & Chains necklace are all from the new January line. She LOVES the outfit {we even have a matching bag, but we forgot that} I love it for so many reasons. First, it makes her happy and helps her to feel pretty. Second, I LOVE that I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg to purchase an ENTIRE outfit!
I just love the belt! It takes the simple cardigan and kicks it up a notch! We saved enough money on this whole outfit that we were able to buy another shirt, that paired with the skirt created a whole new look…
I've gotta say, I'm one happy Mom!! The thing that I love most is that I found some fun stuff to add to my wardrobe there as well….
Here are a few of the items that I am crushing on. The Destiny Dress, The Avenues Top & the Reporter Dress are just a few on my wish list.
The folks at DownEast Basics would LOVE to share some of their new January line with you guys!! They are sponsoring the DownEast Basics Giveaway here on WhipperBerry and are offering one single item from their online store to one of you. You got it… YOU GET TO PICK WHATEVER YOU WANT!!!
