My Favorite Things
DownEast Basics is a store that has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. In fact, at almost any given time, you can find me wearing one of their wonder tees under just about every top as an undershirt. I love that the line offers modest clothing, while still giving you that trendy, in style feel. DownEast just introduced some awesome new products into their line this month, and I was more than excited to get to sample a few of them.
Pros: DownEast sent me Sprinkles on Top from their tops line and a pair of denim, Double Take.
Sprinkles on Top
This top comes in two different colors, light blue & white, and black & white. It’s made of a polyester chiffon, and has some super cut detailing at the top where there are two ties. I love the gathering around the neck line and around the bottom of the sleeve as well, it adds a nice feminine touch. It’s the perfect shirt to dress up with a skirt or to wear casually with a pair of jeans. At 5’9″ and just under 140 lbs, I usually wear a medium top. I felt that this fit true to size, and thought that it lays nicely. It washes up nicely as well, and I didn’t experience any shrinking or fading. Their tops are also available in sizes xs-xxl.
Double Take Denim
Remember back in the day when it was hard to find denim in a tall length? I definitely do. I was done growing by the end of 8th grade and always had jeans that were way too short which didn’t contribute to my self esteem. Then a company or two started making jeans in a taller length, which I totally appreciate. DownEast offers their denim in 32, 34 and sometimes a 36″ length. I need about a 34 inch inseam, and the Double Take Jean is offered in that. The Double Take is a lowrise bootfit jean, with adorable detailing on the back pockets as you can see below. Plus they are flattering, which you feel like you need after having babies.
Sometimes I am a bit wary of jeans that are lowrise because sometimes the rise is a little two low in the back and I don’t exactly want my rear end hanging out. I was pleasantly surprised to find more coverage in the back of the jean, without sacrificing the lowrise in the front. These are also lightweight and have spandex in them which gives them a nice stretch. Can you say comfortable? My new favorite jeans, hands down. They also retail for only $54.99, which I think is a great price for a cute pair of denim.
Cons: I always try to look for cons when I’m reviewing different products, because no product is perfect, right? I’m struggling here at this point because I can’t really find anything wrong with the top or the jeans. Fit is true to size, great quality, washes up nice, doesn’t shrink, super trendy. Nope, no cons.
Price: Sprinkles on Top - $24.99 Double Take Denim – $54.99

My first choice would be the trouser jeans, but they’re out of stock.
Second choice would be the Platinum jeans. Tops are OK, but I LOVE getting new jeans!
