**AND THE WINNER IS…  JESSICA IN OK!  Congratulations, Jessica!  Email me at katie@marriageconfessions.com to claim your beautiful dress!  Thanks to everyone who entered and a special thanks to Shabby Apple for hosting such a great giveaway!**

I normally try to be as gender-friendly as a mommy blogger (cringe! I hate that phrase!) can be, but I’m going to go ahead and tell you that this post is for the ladies. Girls, if you do nothing else today, then you need to go to Shabby Apple and design a show stopping, glamorous wardrobe for yourselves. It is the most fun clothing website I have been to in a long time because the clothes are so unique. When I first saw the site, I thought, “Yeah, but where would I ever wear that?” But when you look closer, the dresses and skirts are actually totally doable in a day-to-day wardrobe.

My fashion sense is fairly limited, but I do know a few basics, thanks to my good, Southern momma who taught me that you wear pearls during the day and diamonds at night, showing too much skin is the same as walking into a room naked, and white after Labor Day is never okay (though I have amended this law so that “winter white” after Labor Day is acceptable in certain situations…). But one of my Mom’s timeless fashion tips that I live by is that you should have certain staples in your wardrobe, like black and white cardigans and a good pair of khaki pants, but then you should also have a few accent pieces that can jazz you up in a jiffy.

Shabby Apple is that jazz.

If I could live in any fashion period, it would be the 1940s. Dresses with full skirts, white day gloves, fishnet hose, pearls, clutch bags, and bright red lipstick. Oh, how I wish these were staples in my wardrobe today! I see a lot of that 40s style in Shabby Apple. Maybe that’s why I filled my shopping cart with $900.00 worth of dresses before I realized what I was doing.

I mean, look at this dress. Does that not live up to it’s name of “Gondola?”

Or what about this one? Redheads of the world, can I get an “AMEN” for the color of this dress?

And look at this gem. It reminds me of the movie “Pearl Harbor.”

Shabby Apple is very, very kindly offering one of their dresses as the giveaway today. And (here’s the best part) I GOT TO PICK IT! I chose this dress because I think it is DESTINED to be a fabulous New Years Eve dress. It NEEEEEEDS to be taken out to a fabulous party! The only accessory you need with this dress is a glass of champagne.

I mean, really. This is how an adult should do ruffles. And that color is to die for.

What I love most about this dress, though, is the sizing note on the description:

To win this fabulous dress, I’m going to make you do three things. Because I think this dress is worth it. First, head over to the Shabby Apple Facebook page and “like” them. Then, leave me a comment below telling me where you would wear this fabulous dress. Lastly, if you win, you MUST send me a picture of you in the dress because I have to see where this little thing ends up calling home!

Also, Shabby Apple is offering a 10% discount to MC readers.  Shop around for all your upcoming holiday parties and enter the coupon code “marriageconfess10off.”

Special thanks to Shabby Apple for such a fun giveaway and for giving me a 1940s fashion fix.
