I can't say much other than I LOVE this dress. The ruffles, the print, the pockets, what's not to love?

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Yumi Kim
Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Sunglasses: Liz Claiborne
Belt: Mapel via Boutique Culture Warehouse Sale

I want to thank Yumi Kim for sending me this Dani Dress, it is the perfect summer dress but add a cardigan, black tights and boots and I'm set for the fall as well. I love pieces that easily transition into each season. The dress has an elasticized waist that creates shape but I added the studded belt to give the dress a little bit of an edge.

I recently stopped by an eye/sunglasses shop and spotted these retro-esque sunglasses. The owner said that Liz Claiborne brought back their vintage molds to make these sunglasses new again! It's hard for me to find big glasses that actually fit my face so I knew I had to have these when I put them on.

I love the entire Yumi Kim line and ended up ordering a few more pieces on the website. I am so in love with the prints, the flowy-ness and girly-ness of the line, it is just so me! Because I love my readers so much I wanted to share my love for Yumi Kim with you all and have partnered with them to give my readers a chance to win a $150 gift certificate for anything in the store!

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.

Deal Alert: Shabby Apple is offering my Blessings Abound Mommy readers a 10% discount off any purchase by using the coupon code, blessingsabound10off, in the “coupon” box at check out! Offer expires September 21, 2009!
