So you have spent the past few months running around buying gifts for your kids, your spouse, your parents and goodness knows who else. Now that it is almost over, it is time to treat yourself to something nice. Doesn't all that hard work of gift shopping and present wrapping (yuck) earn you a gift for YOU? I certainly think it does!
Shabby Apple offers an extensive collection of stylish women's dresses. Their designs range from black cocktail dresses, colorful day dresses and dresses that you can wear to work.
There is a line here that really struck me: A need to make women feel feminine and beautiful for what they wear, not what they bare. Finally, a women's clothing company that believes that you don't have to wear something skimpy to look beautiful and sexy. I wish more would realize this. As a mom of four in her early thirties (shhh), the last thing I need is to be hanging out of my dress. But shopping in the department stores can be very discouraging because that seems to be the only kind of clothing they offer now a days.
We started Shabby Apple because we saw a need in women’s fashion that was not being met. A need to make women feel feminine and beautiful for what they wear, not what they bare. We offer flirty, stylish dresses a woman can wear just as comfortably in the office, at a family dinner, or on a date. Shabby Apple is a fashion company for women, by women, and of women.
Narrowing down to just one dress to feature in this post was pretty impossible for me with all that there was to choose from. So instead I decided to feature three dresses that I really like, all of which could be worn for different occassions.
Boogie Woogie. A woman's wardrobe is not complete without at least a few little black dresses. A black dress is so versatile and can be used in so many situations. This dress combines comfort with elegance. The sateen skirt is what really caught my eye with its ruched flowers and leaves. The top is made of cotton jersey and is gathered at the waist with a satin sash. Retails for $88.00
Nothin' Like A Dame. Once we get past Christmas, the next big holiday is Valentine's Day. Wouldn't this lovely vermillion color (orangish red) dress be wonderful for a romantic dinner out with your spouse? The rounded scoop neck features petal-like ruffles that mimic a lei with a princess seam for a classic shape. This dress is made from cotton poplin with 2% spandex for stretch. Retails for $78.00, on sale for $70.00.
Ahoy! The perfect dress for summer, this cotton green and turquoise dress has pleats at the collar and waist. I think this color is gorgeous and I love the under layer that covers the chest. One of my biggest pet peeves with shirts and dresses are v-necks that come down to low leaving my bra exposed. There is no concern there with this dress. Retails for $89.00, on sale for $82.00.
This is just a sampling of some of the gorgeous dresses you will find at Shabby Apple. In addition to women's dresses, they also have skirts, jewelry & accessories, swimsuits and even dresses for little girls.
