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 love the ‘Happy Hem Skirt’ in Dove…and would love to wear it with my tried-and-true knee-high Born boots. I practically live in them in the winter because they allow me to wear all my cute skirts throughout the season!

Love this top with a mustard yellow boyfriend cardi, skinny jeans, and leopard print flats.
I would wear the Countess Skirt/Dress with my bright pink flats.
I would love the Southern Bell Top! I would wear it with black pants and red shoes!
How fun! It’s very hard to pick out all this cuteness! I really like the Pin Dot skirt. Happy Bloggy Birthday!
I would have to copy you…I love the ocean blue jacket!
I love the infatuation cardigan in grey or orchid hush, I’d wear it with jeans and with skirts.
I found your blog just in time for your giveaways!
I love the Oh La La Overcoat and the Cupid sweater, I wouldn’t probably wear it with everything!
I love the Gourmet Garden skirt, I’d wear it with any really bright tops and black shoes. <3
Oh gee, too many choices! I think the sequenced tee with a pair of denim trousers and black heels or boots would look spectacular!
here’s to hoping i’m the lucky winner. Look how cute you look pregnant wearing that coat- I’m thinking I need something to make me feel cute as my tummy gets bigger… so either that gorgeous coat or the Oh La La Overcoat- both look fabulous.
I love the union jacket! Skinny jeans and boots…great going out outfit!
I would get the same jacket as you have. I have been eyeballing it since I first saw it. Or maybe I need the oh la la overcoat… ugh. decisions decisions!
I am in love with that sweater jacket! I must have it! I would wear it with skinny jeans just like in your photo. Love it :)
So hard, I love DownEast! I really like that jacket too. I wish they had it in red. I also really like the Full Bloom Top. I’d wear it with jeans.
The Your Highness Dress would look really good on me. I’m so super tired of my boring clothes. I have lost more weight since having Phineas than before I had him, so I feel extra frumpy in all my clothes, especially my church clothes. Maybe they could help me out?
Happy birthday, Meliss! I think you’re the best!
I actually love the coat that you have on. I can’t believe that I have never heard of this store. Looks like I have a new store.
What a great site! I love the Simple Silhouette dress and the jacket you are wearing. The dress is great by itself, but I would pair the jacket with jeans.
I skipped straight to dresses because I need one for my upcoming birthday party. The Two to Tango dress would be just darling with my cowboy boots! It’s a western-themed party, after all… Thanks for the giveaway!! LOVE the coat on you!
Ooh! I would wear the Frill Seeker Top in “gunmetal”. It will be our first visit back to So. Cal. this year in 7 years to visit family for Christmas. I think this dressy top would be perfect for the occasion!
My purse is looking a little rough these days, so I would love the Fall in Love Bag. And I would wear it with EVERYTHING!
i love the pin dot skirt in olive green. i’de wear it with a white tank, a grey cardigan, and bright red flats.
i would wear the oh la la overcoat with EVERYTHING! :)
happy birthday melissa and to your “baby” IS*LY. :)
Happy Birthday! So exciting! I have been looking at the Abstract Skirt forever! I keep hinting to my hubby to buy it for me!!! I would pair it with some navy tights and a pink/purple shirt. Or do all black (tights and top) with accents of mustard/gold. My skin tone doesn’t do well with yellow so better to keep it as an accent.
I would love the Happy Hem skirt paired with some cute riding boots!
Happy Birthday–how exciting!
As for me, the cascading skirt is looking mighty fine…
I’m going on a cruise in a month…I’d LOVE to wear the soiree dress to dinners!! I also love the Countess skirt. Fancy!
That sweater jacket looks so good on you, I think I would have to choose it! I’d definitely pick the “Know When to Fold Jacket- Hawaiian Ocean”. I’m always looking for a warmer jacket that isn’t so stiff but fancier than my regular old sweatshirts and hoodies!
one “white decorator tee” please ;)
i love downeast!!!
i love the coat! i think your little pregnant belly makes it even cuter, though. :)
I’ve been looking for a jacket I can wear as my pregnant belly gets bigger! You look so cute in the blue jacket…I’d have to say I’d love the same blue jacket. Even the brown in the same style is just as cute. I’d wear it with skinny jeans and either my converse or boots.
I like the cupid cardigan. I’d wear it with jeans like in the picture probably.
I love the pin dot skirt!
Thanks for the giveaways! :)
Oh the cardigans! I love this cool and crisp time of year when I can layer it up. I would love the Infatuation cardigan in black (so classic) or gunmetal. (Downeast really does have some great stuff for great prices. I mean, did you see that Countess skirt? How rad is that?)
i love the union jacket in grey. it is my favorite! i would wear it with a mustard colored top, and my dark denim knee length skirt. and i would probably curl my hair too.
happy birthday to you and your blog!
I adore the know when to fold jacket that you are wearing! It would be the perfect weight for the mild winters here.
I love ALL of their clothes! No matter was it is, they are always comfortable and affordable!
I LOVE the “Your Highness” dress.SO PRETTY! Happy blogging birthday and happy real birthday!!
Actually, I adore the sweater you have on, and really want the “Know when to fold” jacket.
I love the Olallieberry Skirt :)
OMG! I am in LOVE with the “Black Union Jacket”!!! And its a great price! I live in Alabama, so it doesnt get horribly cold here for too long, so I would most likely pair this with a nice pair of dark jeans, a bold colored top and boots with heels :D Hmmm… definately putting this one on my Christmas list ;)
I am totally digging that jacket you are sporting! It has a little peacoat flare without all the woolly warmth. Just the compromise I’ve been looking for as I’ve drooled over winter outerwear knowing that I’ll never need that much warmth in Phoenix’s mild winters. Well done, DownEast Basics!
I absolutely love the perfect peplum jacket (would be great with boots and dark jeans and big dangly earrings) and the hot to trot skirt. I’ve been looking for a classic denim skirt like that for ages!
Love the wispy stems skirt. It’s out of season, but I would wear it with gladiator sandals and a t. (And maybe a jean jacket!)
I love that jacket! So cute!
The sequenced tee is fabulous!
I love the heirloom cardi and the perfect plaid skirt! I’d wear them together with some patent round-toed heels to work! Love! Thanks for the chance to win!
My fav is the ‘Abstract Skirt’ Beautiful! I would wear it to the Christmad Carol Premier at our theatre. My husband has a sound design internship there, and I really need something festive and cute. It’s all creative types, so I need something super ‘now’. Love it!
i had to seriously fight my instinct to pick one of their lovely jackets, but then i saw the Mural Dress, which i ADORE. i would totally pair it with my black leggings and gray blowfish boots. perfect for a fall dress with so much color!
I love the “Know When to Fold Jacket” in Plantation! I would wear it everyday this fall because it’s the perfect neutral tone … and it’s fleece!
