Mommy's Favorite Things: DownEast Basics Review

DownEast Basics Review



I've already done a lovely Review on this company! They were kind enough to let me check out their new spring arrivals early on before they even went on sale! So I chose the Heart Throb Short and the Hot To Trot Skirt although I was supposed to receive the Spring skirt, They sent me the Fall! I'm okay with that though!
 
The Shorts are a size 4. My normal size, and they fit with a little back gap. But based on my 36" hips I should've been a Medium skirt. Well it's hard to tell but that skirt is almost TWICE the size of those shorts and I could've fit 2 of me in a size Medium. So I sent it back and they sent me the X-Small and It fits perfectly. Now according to their site I should have a 28" waist for the X-small.
Umm yeah when I was 10!!! That's tiny!
Oh well, Problem fixed. 
I love the shorts before they come to just above the knee, same as the skirt, so they don't show too much, but are still flattering enough!


Price: The shorts are $35 and the skirt is $45. I think these are good prices for GREAT quality clothes. I haven't had a problem with these or my other review items. I love the quality and their items are Stunning!


Overall: Another ***** Can't beat DownEast basics



 

*Disclaimer* I received these products directly from the Company for Review. I was not paid to try out these products!*

I cannot choose between the Oceanfront Dress in charcoal or the adorable Cupid Cardigan in heather grey...They are both so great.
I think I would have to happily go with the Cupid Cardigan though.
