1st Blogoversary Party: Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Blessings Abound Mommy is turning one!  I can’t hardly believe it’s been a year since I started this blog and what an amazing year it has been!  To celebrate the occasion, I’ve put together a week of giveaways just for you so you can share in my excitement with me!  Here is my 1st giveaway for you:

Shabby Apple

Shabby Apple is an online boutique that carries fashionable, classy, and feminine women’s dresses, maternity dresses, preteen dresses, kids dresses, and baby dresses!  Their unique and sophisticated collection is perfectly tailored for easy dressing and can stand alone without the added scarf, cardigan, or other piece of clothing to make an outfit.  Modest clothing has never looked so good!

Meet the Company:

Shabby Apple welcomes you to great dresses that make dressing simple.

After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without wearing a tank top, cardigan or long slip), owners Emily and CK decided to do something about it.

They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that department stores weren’t buying the right dresses, but that designers weren’t designing them.

Shabby Apple is proud to offer you fantastic dresses that allow you to look fabulous, without having to compromise anything else.

A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything…no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).

A Charitable Cause:

We at Shabby Apple Dresses love to help women dress but are also commited to helping women live as well.  Thus we are supporting the fight against global poverty by partnering with Unitus-a non-profit organization that accelerates access to life-changing financial services for those at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Shabby Apple donates 5% of its net dress sales to support work in India (where Shabby Apple Dresses sources many of its dresses the textiles used to manufacture its dresses).  In addition, each Shabby Apple Dresses customer has the opportunity to donote an extra five dollars to Unitus every time she buys a dress. Shabby Apple Dresses and Unitus are involved with 10 of India’s most promising microfinance organizations that provide financial services to more than 1.6 million hard-working women and their families.
