A-Thread Clothing Review & Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the generous A-Thread Women's Clothing company as they enjoyed my blog and wanted to see if I might like to review one of their items. Of course, I immediately clicked over to their website and started browsing their line. I was so impressed with their dresses and tops that when it came down to selecting an item, I had it narrowed down to four, two were really cute dresses. Everything is so pretty and affordable too! Right now they're offering 10% off everything for Classy Woman readers by entering the code: CLASSYWOMAN10 at checkout! Stick around until the end of the post, there's a pair of earrings available for one of you! :)

In the end I married practical and pretty by ordering this purple peasant top in size medium which I've already worn twice! Spring is all about fun prints and I especially like the color combinations and design of this top. I love that it can be worn with so many different bottoms I have in my wardrobe: white denim cuffed capris, red skinny jeans, purple skinnies, dark wash skinnies, white shorts and more. You can see the two different ways I wore this outfit, using the same handbag but different color and length of pants, shoes and accessories. (For the purpose of this post I took photos for both looks on the same day.) * I apologize for the somewhat dark photos, hubby took the pics in our front hallway on my pocket camera and it was a cloudy day. 

What I love most about this top is that even though it doesn't have the high price tag of 100% silk, it is delicate and lightweight just like silk. It's loose and airy which is perfect for hot, humid Florida summers when your clothes feel like they're stuck to you most of the time. ;)

My top arrived quickly and was beautifully packaged in hot pink tissue and pretty twine. As a fun addition, the kind folks at A-Thread sent me a pair of gold leaf and turquoise bead earrings also! I'm in love with this loose billowy top and want to share the a-thread love by giving a pair of these lovelies below away to one lucky reader! In case you're wondering, they're 1.5" in length total.

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9

Last spring and summer we saw hints of the 80's inspired neon colors everywhere, the neon yellow is my favorite in small splashes. I am obsessed with quality blazers in every color and print, they pull together a top and jeans like nothing else! I'm still enjoying peplum and although I didn't embrace the color 'mint' last spring, it's starting to grow on me. I love my heels but flats are more practical most days, I practically live in them on the weekends. Don't you just love all the colored denim and printed denim available these days? I thought the polka dot pair were cute and I own the stretch skinnies shown in a blue-ish purple, poppy red and dark denim-they fit like a dream. Over the past few years I've grown my belt collection with a lot more patterns and colors. This year I'm looking to add a couple belts with the flower details, they're so flirty and fun!

What are YOUR favorites for spring? Now it's your turn to pick up some fun finds for spring. The sale ends tonight so don't miss out!


Thanks for reading & happy weekend!
