I WON @ BEVELLO.COM

I won something! That in itself is a surprise since I rarely win anything, but to win a really cool contest at a unique online clothing boutique like bevello.com is a SUPER AWESOME surprise!

I discovered bevello via Twitter and love the look of their website and the fun, stylish clothing and accessories they sell, featured on models that pose in the cutest lifestyle photos. And bevello is dedicated to "representing designs by America's independent, emerging designers". Plus it has an "organics" section...yay!!!

The contest asked me to be a "stylist" and choose three pieces to coordinate with an item chosen by bevello. (And to tell them how I would wear the pieces together and where to!)

Their clothing item of choice last Tuesday was this adorable Heather Gray Cropped Sleeveless Cardigan by [Ryu:]

Heather Gray Sleeveless Cardigan by [Ryu:] available at bevello.com

The following three items and explanation were my winning entry!!!

C & C California Rosebud Organic Cotton Dress

HOW: The Heather Grey Cropped Sleeveless Cardigan by [Ryu: is worn over the C & C Company tank dress. I prefer unbuttoned, but it would look great either way. I love ballet flats and think the gray matches the cardigan but the two tone and metallic accent adds texture and contrast!! I love The Sak bags and this one complements the dress and is also great for the environment.

WHERE: For me I would wear this outfit anywhere! For meeting a friend for a nice casual dinner (all dinners in Tucson are pretty casual – LOL), or for a daytime shopping excursion, or for any daytime social event in the summer here.

==============================

What did I win?! I won $20 in bevello bucks toward my next purchase...SWEET!!!! My next blog post will be about the items I am considering putting my bevello bucks toward. ^o^

Until then! Happy creating!!!
