This post was brought to you by DownEast Basics.
DownEast Basics gave me a great sweater jacket to review & I have to admit, I’ve worn it every day since I’ve bought it. It’s made out of soft, hoodie-like material so it feels like I’m cozying up in my favorite hoodie, but it’s considerably more polished.
I’m particularly in love with the jewel tone of this coat. The product image on DownEast Basics’ site looks more cobalt, but the actual color has more indigo in it. That made a huge difference to me. I love the deep blue in this jacket!
Overall, I’m in love with this jacket. It’s not the kind of jacket I would wear when it’s below freezing outside, but it is surprisingly warm and perfect for this cooler fall weather. The fit is snug, so I would suggest going up a size if you plan on layering it with sweaters or cardigans underneath.
I’ve had my eye on the Pin Dot Skirt and have so many outfits in my head already including this skirt! One outfit I’ve put together is to pair it with a white tee & my new yellow cardigan with black boots & tights.
I want that jacket you got! It looks gorgeous and I LOVE the color!

[…] DOWNEAST BASICS GIVEAWAY […]
I like the grey suede Fall in Love Bag! I’d wear it with a navy skirt, neutral printed top, and some colorful shoes!
Love the Infatuation Cardigan in grey! I would wear it with…… everything! Jeans, skirts, blouses, t-shirts….. I love a good cardigan. :)
I like the Sophistication Dress, in the purple color. I’d wear it with a pair of black heels, multicolored scarf, and a snazzy jacket!
I love downeast basics! It was so hard to narrow down what I would want, but I think I really want some more skirts….I like the pin dot skirt…classic.
I’m going to have to go with that sweater you’re wearing. I could wear it with everything! And I agree, the color is gorgeous!
It might be obscene how much i LOVE the diva trench coat… I’d pair it with a turtleneck, dark jeans, and my black bare traps boots that I’m totally in love with as well.
Also, this weeklong giveaway thing? Awesome. Maybe I’ll actually win something :)
wow what great stuff they have! Love the frosted flowers cardigan! This would be perfect for me for work as it tends to be chilly in the office. Pair it with some slacks or a cute pencil skirt and heels!
I love the Frosted Flowers Cardigan! I’d layer it over a black cami or tee. So cute :)
I NEED the grey union jacket :-)
Happy blog birthday!
I love the Fancy Flouce Skirt! It would look so cute with some ballet flats :]
I love the Cupid Cardigan. It looks so comfy yet it’s not plain. I would definitely wear it with jeans for a relaxing Saturday.
I want the sweater jacket you have. How cute with your belly!!!!
i love that Diva Trench Coat!
I like this dress to wear to my brother’s wedding next summer

Thanks!!
i am dying over this “sweater jacket!” and i looks so cute with your baby bump i need to try it out on mine.
loving the Miss Slim Skinny Jeans. I think they would fit under my growing belly and look cute with some winter boots and a long sweater. If the weather here will stay cool long enough for sweater weather.
you look so cute! i’d pick the perfect peplum jacket in plum – paired with dark skinny jeans, flats, and just about any shirt! :)
I love ALL of their new dresses! Love love love!
It would have to be the Infatuation Cardigan with some dark wash skinny jeans and boots.
I’m sure if I have to pick a clothing item. My favorite item was jewelry, but I’ll put the clothing item I selected too. I love the jewelry box earrings. I could were those earrings with a casual blouse and cardigan or use them as a signature piece to jazz up a simple dress. I also love the “Know when to fold-Plantation” coat. The off-center buttons are my style and I would wear that coat with an orange scarf and dark jeans. Who am I kidding? I would wear that coat everyday.
I would go for the pin dot skirt- with a bright cardigan and black boots, or the Infatuation Cardigan- in black, which I would basically wear a lot this winter.
Their clothes are so pretty and so affordable. My favorites are the Knit Pick Dress and the Frosted Flowers cardigan in Plum. The cardigan would be perfect with jeans or the dress!
The jacket you’re sporting is very cute, though I also like the black union jacket. I think it would be sweet with my favorite jeans and a silky tank. Thanks for the chance!
So many favorites! I really like the Frosted Flowers Cardigan.
The jacket looks much better on your blog then on their web site… i’ll have to go try it on for myself!
i love the peplum jacket in plum. a perfect fall color :)
I love the Every Angle skirt. A cute basic with a little detail!!
Oh I love DEB!!! I have a lot of their dresses, and I love them! I would take any of their dresses. Especially the two to tango dress. I love the flounce skirt. I’d pair them with any of my vintage oxford heels and textured tights. Thanks! The blue jacket really looks wonderful on you!
You are the cutest pregnant lady ever!
I love the infatuation cardigan–there are so many choices, though!
Awesome! I love the dozen roses top and the simplicity tee. I also love the jacket you reviewed here. So many beautiful choices!
I love the “Hot to Trot Cord Skirt” and I’d wear it with my new riding boots that I’ll probably be living in all fall :-)
I just love the summer savvy dress! Since it is no longer summer, I’d probably wear it with knee-high boots
I have to say I love the jacket you reveiwed. I have been wanting a cute jacket just like that!!
I LOVE the Gourmet Garden skirt!! I could wear that everywhere, to work, out and about, on a date. It’s so cute!
That jacket is too cute, but down here in Austin I might need something a little less warming. That frosted flowers cardigan in flint is adorable!
My favorite is definitely the Collage Tee. It looks like the perfect top to throw on with a pair of jeans but still look a little put together!
I love the frosted flowers cardi. I’d wear it with my shade floral skirt.
i saw this the other day, and fell in love. looks sooooo cozy.
im also in love with the Pin Dot Skirt. so so cute!
julie
i am leaning towards the grecian dress with some killer boots.
That is darling! If I don’t win, I might have to go get one anyway… It looks cute on your little pregnant belly too. :)
I love the Infatuation cardigan. Perfectly perfect.
ohhh i really like their whole product line right now, but i’m really digging your jacket so that’s what i would pick!
I would love that Know When to Fold Jacket in Plantation — or in the blue you are wearing. Love it.
You did such a great job of reviewing that coat that I think that would be my pick!!
I would love the dozen roses top! So pretty.
I think the Know When to Fold Jacket- Plantation is truly amazing. It looks so comfortable and easy to style.
I love DownEast Basics stuff but I think I would choose that super jacket that you are modeling!
I love the Miss Slim Skinny Jean. I would pair them with my favorite cardigan.
