Giveaway: Designer BB Dakota dress

ChickDowntown.com, the great people who gave me the Tolani scarf to giveaway is now giving me a designer dress worth $65.00 to giveaway here. Designed by BB Dakota, this lavender dress with splashes of bright abstract florals is uber cute and glamorous.

In fact, I have this sweet frock and wore it during BlogHer and received many compliments. I especially love how the skirt poofs out. Here I am in the dress at the BowlHer party:

This dress is so versatile. You could dress it up or down. I'd probably wear it to a wedding or out on the town.

I'd either wear this with flip flops on the wedding or with a cardigan and some heels to work. Love it!

I'd wear this adorable dress to one of my breast cancer fundraisers this summer!

Heidi Zuehlke said...

Where wouldn't you wear this dress?....Uber cute is an understatement! With a gray cardigan to work...Or some sexy heels for any occasion. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Nathan Pralle said...

I'd probably wear it to the company Christmas party, probably with a pair of glittery blue high heels and a fun scarf. It'd make a heck of an impression and when asked why I was wearing it, I could just say because if Tara wore it, it must be really good fashion! :)

Ok, so maybe I wouldn't wear it all that much. But the heels? You bet, baby.

Lindsey said...

I'm headed to Vegas soon, so I'd totally wear it while in Sin City!

Tracy said...

Sigh, missed it by hours! And it looks so cute on you.

Oh well. Could I ask you anyway how the sizing on these dresses runs, since you have one yourself? I've seen reviews saying "true to size" and "small," but with vanity sizing and juniors sizing causing sizes to be all over the map between brands, it's impossible to know what that means.

TaraMetBlog said...

Tracy, It was pretty true to size, I could have even gone a little smaller, but then it might have been tighter in other areas. I followed the chest size measurements to pick a size.
