READER GIVEAWAY & COUPON CODE: Shabby Apple Dress Boutique

Recently, the super-cute online dress boutique Shabby Apple (www.shabbyapple.com) approached me about doing a giveaway with my readers. If you're not familiar, they're an online-only boutique that specializes in vintage inspired dresses and accessories for women.

I was already familiar with Shabby Apple, having purchased one of my bridal shower dresses from their line a few years back. That dress ended up being a go-to favorite whenever I wanted to feel ladylike and slightly elegant.

Of course, these days, I'm much more likely to be found in a pair of yoga pants with a generous waistline, so I'd sort of been ignoring their online offers until they contacted me....and reminded me that they offer a MATERNITY LINE!

If you follow me of Facebook, you've probably noticed that my belly is starting to give my clothes a pretty good workout, so maternity clothes are fast becoming my new best friend. Unfortunately, people must not get pregnant in Miami Beach because there aren't many stores in the area that carry maternity clothes. So I was thrilled to page through the Shabby Apple Maternity Collection and find a variety of lovely, elegant dresses that would be great for special occasions and for everyday.

The first one to catch my eye was the "Finding Out" dress, which I've already decided I'm going to order to wear at my upcoming baby shower. I'll be at 32 weeks by then and this dress looks like it will accommodate a big belly in a way that's both comfortable and flattering. Plus its so pretty! I can't wait to pair it with a pair of colorful kitten heel pumps.

Of course these days, since I'm not working, comfort is usually the name of the game, so the second dress to catch my eye was the "Two's Company" dress.

With a drop waist, jersey fabric and a front pocket reminiscent of a hoodie, this is just TOO CUTE. I could see myself wearing this everywhere I go these days from running errands to walking along the beach. I'm going to start dropping hints to my momma to see if she'll get this for me, but for one lucky reader this dress can be yours now!

Yep...Shabby Apple will be giving the "Two's Company" dress to one of you!

What's that you say? You're not pregnant? Well, you're in luck because the "Two's Company" dress is also available in a non-maternity (i.e. regular person) version as the "Da Vinci" dress.

So, whether you're pregnant or not, you're welcome to enter this contest for a chance to win either version of this dress.
