DownEast Basics Review and Giveaway
I am always on the lookout for fun, affordable and fashionable clothing and to be honest I have a hard time finding clothing that I love at an affordable price….well that was until I was recently introduced to DownEast Basics! After browsing their entire online selection I was thrilled when I was offered the opportunity to review an item from the 2011 Spring line!
My Thoughts:
I was given the opportunity to choose an item from DownEast Basics new 2011 Spring line and I have to admit it was a difficult task especially with all the beautiful styles available. I finally decided to review the Double Take Jeans. Once I placed my order it didn’t take long at all for my jeans to arrive and I can tell you I was like a kid in a candy store when the showed up at my door and I could not wait to get them on!
My first impression of the jeans were the same as when I seen them online, I just love the design on the back pockets and the color wash of the jeans are awesome as well. I have generally been very cautious of purchasing jeans online since I’m quite particular about how they fit but I put that fear aside when ordering these jeans and I’m so glad I did, I had originally tried to order a size larger than I generally wear but thank goodness they were out of stock! I got a size 10 and they fit amazingly, they aren’t too tight and they are super comfortable, actually they are probably the most comfortable pair of jeans I own!
The one thing I can’t stand about most of my jeans is that they are so low cut that when I bend over I show everyone my behind! Well with the Double Take Jeans from DownEast Basics they are a higher cut which allows me to bend over without fear of showing my booty to everyone behind me!!! Not only are these jeans everything I look for when I purchase jeans they are super durable in the wash and trust me I have worn them over and over again since they arrived and I have absolutely not complaints about their quality and they withstand the wash and dry process like a dream!
Bottom Line:
I can’t say enough good things about the Double Take Jeans from DownEast Basics and if these jeans are any indication of the style, comfort and quality of all the clothing from DownEast Basics they just got themselves a life long customer! I am so thrilled at the comfort of these jeans and if it were possible I would purchase a whole new jean wardrobe from DownEast Basics and say goodbye to all my old jeans! I can’t wait to purchase some of the other stylish Spring clothing from their new 2011 Spring line, I have my eye on a couple of shirts and of course I need a couple pairs of capris to go along with them right??? I can’t wait to get shopping!
If you are looking for comfortable, stylish, affordable and durable clothing I highly recommend checking out the collections available from DownEast Basis. There is sure to be a top, dress, skirt, jeans or accessory that you will just be dying to get your hands on!
