Moxie Monday: Lucille from BasicGrey

You don't have to be a seamstress to appreciate the retro-wonderful stylings of the Lucille collection from BasicGrey. In fact, as you scroll down, the moxie fab array of vintage classic patterns will awaken your younger self, touching upon a simpler time when floral prints ruled the day. And yet, Lucille has a sassy side. With a toss of her hair, a kick of her leg, and a twist of her hip, she is modern, sophisticated, and not to be ignored. Check it:

























You know what to do. Leave me a comment by midnight EDT on Sunday, September 9 and I'll draw two random luckies to win it! And don't forget! You've got to check back here first thing on Tuesday, September 11 for our weekly Winnerday! post to see if you are one of our lucky winners.

Oh Lucille, I think I love you!

~Cath

PS Today is the last day to enter our Minty Fresh Challenge. I'll post the winners, complete with Moxie Fab Alerts on Wednesday.

Queen Mary said...

My mother's name was Lucille, she made all our clothes for awhile -- then she went back to school and got her MSN and started teaching at Georgetown University and working on her PhD; when she survived having 6 teenagers, she decided to go to law school, she got her JD at 60! She just died in January so I'll probably be getting this whether I win it or not! :) It really DOES look like the old fabrics from back then - I started making my own clothes when I was about 12!

Karen Conner said...

Lucille is also my grandmother's name who recently went to be with the Lord. This line reminds me of her. She loved to sew and make things.

Would love to win this!
