Last month, I was invited to a blogger event at a clothing store called DownEast Basics. I admit that I hadn’t heard of them- they are new to Vegas {they just opened in late June} &I tend to do most of my shopping at Old Navy without really venturing out much. I’ve actually been looking for a few new places to shop though, so I decided to bring a friend with me & go check it out!

When I got there, I expected it to be literally basics- plain t-shirts, tank tops, etc. like at American Apparel. I was totally wrong! While they did have tons of basics {which I loved because I practically live in plain tank tops}, they also had dresses, tunics, tanks, shirts, skirts, jeans, everything- and they had them in tons of patterns, designs and of course, some basics. &Everything was very reasonably priced.

While they had clothing in lots of different styles, they definitely had a lot of girly stuff, which I love. We had so much fun putting together cute outfits! Even cuter was the clothing for little girls- obviously none of it does Shane any good, but my friend & I had fun looking at all the cute dresses for her daughters!

DownEast Basics is not just the store- it’s the company that makes most of the clothes. I say “most” because the Las Vegas location happens to also be a store that sells high-end brands for very, very low end prices. They sell designer jeans that usually cost almost $200- but they sell them for $75. And even better, they had a “Buy One, Get One 1/2 Off” sale, so the friend I took shopping with me was able to get two pairs of jeans- worth almost $400- for barely over $100.

Whether you’re looking to update your whole wardrobe for less or just pick up a cute bracelet to add to your outfit, be sure to check out DownEast Basics! They have lots of stores nationwide- check the store locator for one near you! {The locations in Vegas are Boca Park and Green Valley- the one I shopped at was the Boca Park one.}

This store is now permanently on my list of stores to check out when I need to find something cute to wear. I plan on getting a lot of my everyday stuff there, too since  they have high-quality items that are still really affordable. There’s really no reason not to shop there!

Have you ever been to DownEast Basics?

Note: I was given a gift card to spend at the event, as was the friend that I brought with me. All experiences are authentic & all opinions are my own.
