Shopping I Love: Down East Basics

For awhile, I swore off online shopping. The fit was hard to determine, I never had accurate measurements to compare to size charts and I hated paying for shipping. But, I had my measurements taken, and now a whole world of unavailable clothing is open to me! One of my current favorites is DownEast Basics. They seem to specialize in trendy pieces that aren't polarizing or unwearable. Their clothes are also downright cheap, but well made and definitely stand up to serious wear. Some favorite pieces:

The He Loves Me dress
This dress just came in the mail for me last week, I ordered it for engagement pictures and general cute wear for the spring. It's a great fit, and has hidden pockets, which I adore.


Perfect Form Dress
I've had this dress in my cart for a week now. I love the color, and I think it'd be perfect for a date night or a wedding. I have roughly a million weddings coming up, so I'm feeling like it could be an investment.

Tulle Flower and Beads Necklace
I love this statement necklace. The flower comes off, so you can wear just the beads if you want. I ordered it in both shades, and the pink beads are the perfect easter egg pastel!

Impressionist Skirt
I adore crazy prints, and I feel like, at 24, I can get away with most of them! This begs to be worn with simple brown sandals and a pretty t-shirt. Probably NOT office appropriate, friends!

Classic Plaid Skirt
I ordered this in the black/white combo. Mostly because I don't have a plaid skirt, and this one is cut to a length and fit that is far more "smart winter wear" than "Catholic school girl." Not that there's anything wrong with Catholic school! I'm pairing this with black flats and a variety of jewel tone tops. I wish they had a picture of the black and white print!

Everything I posted is less than 40 dollars on the site! Amazing! Their shipping is super fast and every service representative I've spoken to has been unfailingly kind. Check it out!
