GIVEAWAY: Shabby Apple Champs Elysees Dress!
dressRecently I was contacted by the lovely Tawnee, of Shabby Apple, about sponsoring a GIVEAWAY for my loyal readers (that's you!). Shabby Apple's dresses are vintage inspired with a contemporary edge, I especially love how they style their clothing with 1950s cocktail hats and 40s hairdos! All of their items are meant to be timeless, classic pieces and their styles range from bohemian chic to film noir glam. Best of all they offer a range of sizes including plus size and maternity.

So here's the stats on the giveaway: You can enter up to three times to WIN the above dress, the Champs Elysees dress. It usually goes for $88 on the site! I picked it for its French Chic vibe, its neutral colour palette and its silhouette that would flatter a variety of body types. Best of all it can be dressed down for a day at the flea market or up for a cocktail party!

HOW TO ENTER:

1) Post a comment or e-mail (thriftaholic@yahoo.com) with a photo of yourself wearing your favorite vintage item (hat, purse, necklace, etc) or outfit. Include a short paragraph about the history of the item(s) and where you found/bought it.
2) For an additional entry BLOG about the contest and link back to this post AND the Shabby Apple website.
3) If you twitter, post on facebook OR follow this blog you get one additional entry. That's one entry if you do one of these things, not one per.

In summation: Post your favorite vintage outfit to enter and you have 2 additional entries possible to make a maximum of 3 entries total. I'll do a special post with the top 5 vintage outfits but the actual winner will be determined by a random number generator.

The contest will end Monday, July 26th at midnight CST. Good luck!!
