Mix & Match Monday - Enter To Win! Oct. 21st - 28th, 2019

Hi everyone, 

Enter To Win! Which Look Is Best? Vote Now!

The question is simple, which look is best? 

This week's contest is featuring a bundled outfit featuring the Convergence Dress made by Donna Kinley the designer of the DKinley Designs pattern collection. Which style do you like best? Be sure to vote to help us decide which look is best and be entered into the giveaway to win all of the items* featured in both looks! (*Note - dolls are not included in the giveaway)

 

More About The Mix Up:  This week we have two cute looks featuring the Convergence Dress design as the main centerpiece. One dress - Two Looks! 

The giveaway includes

  • The Convergence dress designed to fit 18-inch American Girl® dolls. This eye-catching dress gives a nod to the mod fashions of the ‘70s. Angles and uncomplicated design lines create the perfect template for fun with color, directing the eye toward the ringed keyhole front focal point. 
  • The Market Stroll look - For this look, we've paired the dress with a tiny Starbucks® tote bag filled with market essentials - corn and flowers! The look is completed with orange sandals and a straw hat.
  • The Trick or Treat look - For this look we've paired the dress with some fun costume style accessories to create a cute kitty look, perfect for trick-or-treating! She has knee-high black boots, a purple treat bag filled with pop cans, and a cute little kitty ear headband!

Get to know Donna  (in her own words): "I (and 5 siblings) were orphaned when I was 4 years old. Two of us were adopted by an Aunt and Uncle.  The rest went to the orphanage and foster care. With that much trauma in my life, I needed a place to hide, so at that early age, I created my own little world in sewing and designing for my doll.  As my sewing skills developed, I began creating clothing for myself and eventually for others as well.  I studied commercial art and design in college, and worked in the printing industry for a while.  I did custom sewing and alterations for years, but have now come full circle, back to the little world of dolls.  I enjoy the creativity of designing and the technical challenge of developing the patterns.  I hope to pass on my love for creating to others, through patterns that teach in a way that is easily understandable. (And in case you were wondering… yes, my siblings and I are still in touch and are thankful to see each other when we can.)"

Inquiring Minds Want To Know...

Q: What's your favorite food? 
Donna: It has always been spaghetti with meat sauce until I started to try to choose healthier options. I still love spaghetti, but grilled salmon has become a new favorite.

Q: What's your favorite tv show or movie?
Donna: TV show: something like NCIS or Murder, She Wrote. Movie: Finding Normal was a little known, but really good movie. My favorite book is the Bible.

Q: Coffee or Tea?
Donna: Coffee – with cream and sugar.

Q: Where's your favorite place to shop? 
Donna: I love to go to thrift stores and consignment shops. It’s like going on a treasure hunt!

Q: What is your dream vacation?
Donna: I’d love to go to some islands... Caribbean or Hawaiian – either or both.

Q: Do you collect anything special? 
Donna: I used to collect sheep because I love the symbolism of the Good Shepherd and His sheep. Once other people found out, my flock grew way too big for my “pastures”, so I don’t mention it anymore. Sooo many sheep!

 

We'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment and tell us - which look is best! And be sure to thank Donna and the Pixie Faire Team for giving away such a cute outfit!

Thanks, everyone!

Thank you Donna and the Pixie Faire Team for creating such cute outfits featuring the Convergence Dress. I really like both of them. However, the look I like the best is the Trick or Treat one. I just feel the accessories used to design that outfit go better with the Convergence Dress than the accessories used to design the Market Stroll outfit, especially given the color of the dress and that it really feels like a dress that should be worn by a doll on Halloween. Once again, thanks for creating such adorable outfits featuring the Convergence Dress. And thanks for the fantastic opportunity to win!

Sweet! I voted for Market Stroll, but your Trick or Treat is awesome, too! Loved the colors you chose—I hadn’t purchased this pattern because it didn’t look like it would be so cute (oh, how wrong we were!). It will go on my list of patterns to get now. Thanks, Donna for such a cute pattern, and thanks Pixie Faire for an awesome giveaway!

I have to admit I don’t like the boots – they look ready to stomp puddles not walk trick or treat. I think it should have been short boots and black tights.
