I have recently been blessed to wear one of the most chic happy outfits that I think I have ever worn.  Really.  I like it that much.

DownEast Basics hooked me up with this lovely ensemble for the Type-A Mom conference…

Turning Colors Skirt with the Bleaker Street Blazer, Wonder Tee, and an amazingly beautiful necklace that seems to be missing from the website (sniff sniff).

Incidentally, they also threw in this very hip Metro Messenger Bag, that I happen to use for my laptop (I got it in green)…

    It’s easy to comment on the Down East Basics because I’ve been spending the last few days trying to make a few wise purchases there… I’d gotten some great layering tanks there a few years ago, but since then their offerings have really expanded. I’m in love with their skirts. (Skirts being the way to go for a nursing mama.) I think my favorite is the Fall in Love skirt, though I’d really like the Hot to Trot, too…

    The uptown cord skirt in charcoal! Perfect for autumn/winter and would look great with opaques and boots/flats…Helen.

    Wow, how are we to tell you about our favorite item? There are so many. I love the Leading lady dress, the essential scarf (in olive), the Bleaker Street blazer and of course the metro bag! Ok now that I have put together a full outfit with out realizing it, I want to let you know that I love the skirt you wore too!

    I love the Uptown Skirt in denim and corduroy. And the messenger bag! So cute!

    As for the conference, I’d love to learn more about staying true to your self while blogging. As more people from my past (i.e. high school, college) read my blog, I feel like I’m holding back about what’s important to me. I want to be myself and “write for my grandma,” but I also like the idea of people who don’t know Christ reading my blog and taking something positive from it.

    If you have a conference, I’m in!

    About the conference:

    1. I’d like to know more about connecting and building networks.

    2. Making it truly work for God’s glory by having non-Christian followers.

    3. Making physical meetings happen with local bloggers for encouragement to one another and the community.

    4. When to share and when not to share on your blog.

    5. What should a Christian blog really “look” like? You know, how would others immediately know that the blog belongs to a Christian?

    In the blogging world, I would love to learn more about balancing personal things and public things — I tend to post occasionally about my life, my family, my home, with lots of pictures. And then more frequently I post things that are spiritually encouraging, things from Bible studies, quotes in good books I’m reading, etc. How does one find the balance in there? Or does a blog need to be specifically dedicated to one or the other? (and, say, have two separate blogs?)
    Is this something like the discussion of church and state? lol. ;)

Thanks for showing it to me! :) As far as a topic – I am very interested in mentoring as of right now – I think we all need more one on one real life women to women interaction to help keep us accountable and honest in our walks with God and in our every day lives. I love finding resources/ideas on that and seeing how other people go about it. Also I love anything to do with personal spiritual growth that translates into outreach – making yourself healthy so you too can go out and make others healthy.

    What I’d like to learn/discuss at a blogging conference is if you should avoid topics that might be a little off topic for your blog and that may not appeal to some of your audience. I count myself lucky that I have readers from both the conservative side and liberal side, just like in my real life circle of co-workers, friends, and family. I blog mostly about saving money,green living, and home improvement. There are times when I wonder if sometimes a topic, or aside write might upset one side or the other (nothing too crazy, like maybe an art festival featuring contemporary art or a nongreen event that was just fun or silly.) Does anyone else feel that way?

    retweet…coming right up.

    At a blogging conference maybe a good topic would be handling comments without taking it personally. Is that possible??
    Thanks!

    I especially like their basic layering pieces – most notably the Wonder Tee. (What is that top, though, that’s in the photo for the messenger bag, in your post? That one’s cute!)


  93. Rachel Ramey said on Sep 30, 2009:

    About the conference – well, first of all, I’d love to hear more about your conference when the plans near completion!

    And I would want to learn about basic logistical blogging issues – how to effectively and efficiently post pictures, manage comments, etc. How to make subscribing to my RSS feed easy and intuitive for my readers. That sort of thing.

I would really like to transition to a blog but am intimidated because I want it to be the same level of presentation as my weekly email but am unsure how to get there. I have contacted so many asking for help but with not much success. Would love advice!

  122. Jenny said on Sep 30, 2009:

    I have a hard time picking one fave from the DownEast line, but because it seems to be VERY unique I have to choose the undershirts and camisoles in little girls sizes! My daughter has been wearing their brand for about 3 years now, and it makes so many of the adorable little girl shirts that are tank tops, or not very long, way more modest. That way if I get a great deal from an online children’s clothing site (or a great local sale) and the shirt isn’t something I would let her wear on her own, I can still buy it and it’ll look great paired with a DownEast undershirt!


  123. Jenny said on Sep 30, 2009:

    Extra #1: I would love to learn about how Mom bloggers best budget their time for their blog AND keeping their family roles (providers, children, housekeeping, etc) in focus.

    Entry 2 (because I forgot to add it to the previous post)

    I’d love to learn how to blog about Christ more and about what a difference He makes in my life AND be able to do it to where lost people would still want to read my blog. Not because I want to be popular, but because I want to be subtle and reach out to people that might not read if they see “oh it’s a Christian blog”. As Christians we have so much joy in our hearts and it’s hard to decide how to talk to our blog audience! Do I not worry about the lost and just speak to my Christian readers or what?

    Regarding a blogging conference. I think it would be great to address “the fear of man”. Maybe something along the lines of what Ed Welch covers in “When People are Big and God is Small.” That is one of the greatest struggles for me in blogging is being too concerned about what others think, to write what I really feel the spirit leading, so then i just don’t blog. I belive it is a common struggle for people and think it would be great to address at a conference, that we should care about what God thinks of what we are writing and not be swayed by the readers. Thanks for your transparent and humble writing. It encourages me and exalts the Savior when you share your sin and His power over it!

Okay, I actually do have one but I have never published a single one of my posts because I’m afraid if I start something, I won’t have time to keep it up. Prioritizing it all and knowing when the Lord is leading is very hard for me.

I would also like to know more about how people balance their time with there children and blogging and everything else we need to get done! I also blogged about the giveaway today! Thanks!

    I love the wonderful world dress. Ok, I really love them all, but thought I should just pick one instead of listing everything from the site.
    I would love to learn “How” to start a blog. I am fairly isolated where I live (also known as Living in the Sticks). I have found such inspiration from so many blogs. Just thought with a blog that I could repay some of the blessing I have received; just have no idea how.


  190. Emily D said on Oct 1, 2009:

    I really like the long sleeved tuxedo top.


  191. Susie Katz said on Oct 1, 2009:

    Wow! Those clothes are amazing! Thanks for opening up my eyes to a great site! My fave is the Serendipity Dress… it’s gorgeous!

    I would love to learn about what line should be drawn, if any, in Christian blogging.

    And I am sooo tweeting this…

    I am absolutly in love with the Hip To Be Square Top. I really love the orange color. I need some orange in my wardrobe. I don’t have much of it. I absolutly love downeast basics. I look at it online all the time. I love how modest they are. Its hard to find modest clothing sometimes.


  193. Elizabeth said on Oct 1, 2009:

    I love the connect the dots dress — but you’re right, there’s so many great choices!!

    If I were coming to your conference I would like to learn more about blog design. Other helpful information would be how to connect with others without becoming overwhelmed with all your connections. Good luck planning it.


  198. Lindsey said on Oct 1, 2009:

    I LOVE everything on their site!! I absolutely love the Uptown Cord Skirt in Charcoal Grey. It is so versatile and super chic! I would like info/ideas on how to increase blog followers.


  199. Karis said on Oct 1, 2009:

    You’re right; hard to choose. I am going with the Fall In Love skirt because it looks like it will match the new KikaPaprika top I bought at type-a mom. Fun.

    Will definately send my two pregnant daughter’s to check out the site’s maternity section.

    Really affordable prices.

    To your question about what might be something for your Christian blogging conference. I would say, how to be transparent. Comfortable in your shoes, and with past sins, to share them so others can grow and learn. Also, how to keep the doors open to non-believers: in the world not of it. So we are not so far away our light is visible to only each other. My prior post’s concern is that for many their money can afford only one conference…and if they are not integrated but seperated, then the light is removed (or at least diminished) from TypeA and other similar conferences. Just need to pray through how it would look, and be perceived. Fellowship is wonderful, and our need to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, but when, where, how is still a quandry for me if we tend to add the labels that could possibly divide.

    Thanks for sharing a fun Site. Will tweet and post on Facebook both.


  200. Jen said on Oct 1, 2009:

    I love the Serendipity dress, but the Feelin Fall skirt is a close second :)

    my favorite would have to be the wildflower skirt. It is just LOVELY and could be paired iwth a simple tank to make it causual or dressed up with boots and a fitted top to look nice for an evening out!


  204. Bekah said on Oct 2, 2009:

    I AM so excited your planning a Christian conference. Can you have one in South AFrica??? You know, its LOVELY here. :)
    I think the biggest thing I’d like to learn is really just more truth from the Bible that as a women, I am ok. I try so much in my writing to be open and vulnerable and sometimes I wonder should I? So maybe, just having sessions on what is appropriate to share for what type of blog you have. Also, maybe some resources to use when writing. Or how to engage readers and keep them encouraged and motivated about their own lives while being true to your own.
    It would be good to have like “partners” be formed. This would allow you to connect closer with one-3 other women and share the goal of your blog, and your heart with them. Afterwards, these women could then be a good little inner circle of guidance and support….

  212. Angela Burke said on Oct 2, 2009:

    Just want to say I LOVE Downeast Basics. I hope they never go out of business. The tees and camis, in particular, are indispensible! So many colors and long lengths – including sleeves – can’t get enough of them. I like all the tees, long sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, 1/2 sleeve, tank tops, lacey tees, etc.
    I like colors that flatter fair skin – not wash it out.
    From a blog, I would like to hear people’s satisfaction about modest clothing and how hip it can be. And maybe even how modesty is influencing people around us for good.


  213. Nicole @ Being Frugal Is Fabulous said on Oct 2, 2009:
