I definitely wouldn’t mind having both of these tops in my closet… pictured: on left, Urban Vibe Top from DownEast Basics, on right, Sailor Sweater from JCrew.

This weeks DownEast Basics Blog posts by yours truly:

How to wear DownEast Basics Statuesque Top, Get Sandra Bullock’s Look!, and 3 fan reviews!

Also, I was spotlighted on the Lime Ricki Blog… they are starting this confidence campaign and I think it’s really neat, so I submitted what makes me confident. If anything, you should take the time to read about the confidence campaign because I think it’s uplifting. Have a great weekend!

Dress for Friends Wedding

Reader Question:

Hi Livi!

I have a question for ya! My friend is getting married and I want to be able to find something that would look awesome on me, because I will see a lot of my old high school friends there. I want to be able to hide my little “pooch” belly from my pregnancy and I am also a triange/pear shape. I need it to be really affordable and I am looking for either a skirt or dress… Any suggestions??

Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to what you find for me!!

Brittany

Brittany – Thanks for writing in! It was really fun finding dresses for you. My suggestion for pear shapes is to emphasize the top, hide the mid sections and wear mostly dark or solid colors or a pattern. Drape-y stuff is also a good idea.

Hope you enjoy your selection!! Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

Celebrity Modesty.

Isn’t it refreshing to see celebrities dress modestly? It always catches my eye. (Yes, Katie’s dress is on the short side but, whatev. And yes, we are on a first name basis.) Photo via US Magazine

So… here’s MY SECRET! I am going to start guest posting on DownEast Basics blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! So… although I will only be here on Fridays (or more, if I can find time) you can see me over at DownEast Basics 3 times a week! Yay! I am so excited about this, as you know, I am a big DownEast fan! Check out the introduction post that is up today and see what my 3 posts a week will be about. I can’t wait to see you there! (And feel free to leave comments… help me feel welcome )

And, just to be clear. This will not affect Sensibly Styled at all. And no. Sensibly Styled will not become a blog that only posts DownEast items, it will continue to be a place that you can find great fashion finds, from lots of companies! (But will continue to post DownEast items as well.)

P.S. DownEast is doing a really cool sale right now, check it out. My grandma died 2 years ago from breast cancer… I still miss her all the time. I love seeing companies doing great things like this, so if you need a tee or cami, please buy one, and help people who need it. (this is not a DEB sponsored post)
