GIVEAWAY from Silent Daisy! [CLOSED]

Today, I'm super excited to announce that I'm hosting a giveaway with the lovely Crissy of Silent Daisy (though you may know her from her blog, Dainty Fawn -- formerly called Candypow)!  For those of you who don't know her, Crissy is a stellar photographer, graphic designer and blogger, who also runs Silent Daisy -- an adorable Etsy shop that specializes in pre-made Blogger templates, pre-made logos, graphic design and more.   All of Crissy's pre-made templates are incredibly clean and pretty, and they're perfect for bloggers who need to give their blog a little bit of an overhaul (and for a VERY affordable price).  When Crissy asked on Instagram if anyone would be interested in running a giveaway for her Blogger templates, I immediately jumped at the chance!  Not only are her pre-made templates adorable, but I've always found Crissy to be such a kind, supportive and wonderfully artistic person that I wanted to have the opportunity to work with her!

Shop my closet!

Hello, all!  I have some exciting news (well, it's exciting to me, at least) to share with you today!  After months of looking at a garment rack full of extraneous clothes from my overflowing closet... I have finally opened my shop my closet store on Storenvy!!!

On A Clear Day Dress

Top Banana Romper

As Thousands Cheer Dress

Flower Drum Song Dress

This first update doesn't even include all of the pieces I want to sell (some are currently out of season, and I'm still going through others and trying to figure out what I want to keep and what I know I won't wear - it's hard to let go of clothes for me!).  The vast majority are items that have never even been worn!  A few have been worn just once, and I think there's only one item that has been worn multiple times (but is still in fantastic condition).   

A Lovely Night Dress

Secret Garden Dress

A Catered Affair Dress

Although I initially wanted to open up a shop my closet store to make some extra revenue to help make up for all the money I've spent on my ever-expanding wardrobe, I ended up deciding to keep my prices low, for the sake of getting them out of my closet and into the closet of someone who will love and appreciate these pieces.  All of these items are listed for at least 50% off of the original purchase price (and in some cases, it's probably closer to 75% off), so I'm certainly not making a profit on anything.  It's far more about being able to get these lovely items to people who will wear the hell out of them; these clothes deserve to be worn!  :)

Promises, Promises Dress

Disco Inferno Dress

Sophisticated Ladies Peplum Dress

I'd Rather Be Sailing Skirt

Think Pink Peplum Top

Starlight Express Peplum Top

I'd love it if you'd check out my store -- and let me know what you think!  If you have questions (especially about measurements and fit), please don't hesitate to reach out to me!  I'm more than happy to take exact measurements for you.  And if you think that any of these prices are unreasonable, please let me know!  I'm a total newbie to this, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.  You can reach out using the feedback form in my shop, or feel free to e-mail me!

State Fair Dress

House of Flowers Romper

Ain't Misbehavin' Top

Grizabella the Glamour Skirt

Red, Hot and Blue Dress

Dance At The Gym Dress

I did something totally theatre-nerd-y and gave all of the pieces names that are references to musicals.  I just couldn't help myself.  I don't talk a ton about theatre on here (I kind of wanted my blog to be mostly a separate creative outlet, though I wasn't going to hide that very important part of my life, either), so this was my chance to have fun and pretend I am a ModCloth copy writer. 

Some of the brands in the store so far include Forever 21, ASOS, Lulu*s, Urban Outfitters and River Island.  I will be adding more items to my store in the very near future!  I know for sure that I'll be adding a a Nishe dress and a Sugarhill Boutique dress (!!) to this lot, along with other great pieces, so stay tuned for updates!  :)  

Have a wonderful Saturday!
