Melrose Street Giveaway! & Wearing Now: Military Sweater

Military Sweater - courtesy of Melrose Street
Scarf - Urban Outfitters
Cropped Trousers - J.Crew
Purse - Gucci
Shoes - Brian Atwood
This uber-comfy zip-up sweater is from a new clothing site - Melrose Street (Thanks Melrose Street!).  It carries fun, affordable fashion and a couple of things stand out:


  • The sweater is great quality with a heavy duty zipper (and the elbow patches, gotta love em!)

  • FREE shipping to the US, on everything

  • Sizing details (they tell you what size the model is wearing and the model's measurements)

  • The entire ordering, shipping and packaging process resembles more of a big-name e-commerce site, like shopbop.com.  And I know my e-commerce sites.  You've seen the proof on this blog =)
And it gets better.

Melrose Street would like to offer a $30 giveway to one of my awesome readers!!!  So here goes:



  1. Create an account with Melrose Street (don't worry - no strings attached.  They don't disclose your information to anyone.  They might send an email in the future, but unsubscribing is always possible.  And the account in your name is needed so that they can quickly assign the winner the $30 gift certificate right to the account!)

  2. Leave a comment on this posting to let me know what you would buy if you were to win and your email address so I can contact you

  3. You don't have to be a follower of 9to5Chic to enter!  But do follow if you want =)

  4. Winner will be chosen at random this Thursday 9pm PST - enter before then!
Good luck & Happy Monday!

  1. Great site! I would either buy the Garcia NY Ruffle-collar Sleeveless Dress or the Solemio Strapless Dress which would look perfect paired with a cardigan and then accessorized up for nighttime! Both dresses look perfect for day or night wear, depending on the occasion!

    What a fun site and giveaway! I would buy the Flying Tomato Strapless Dress - the blues and greens make me think of a fun summer night out here in Maine once the weather really warms up. Ahh. :)

  15. Ok, I created an account! :-D (I have enjoyed following your blog through my Google Reader, you have great outfits!)
    I love the Theme Sleeveless dress. Though I'm not sure if it would look good on me because my hips are large in proportion to everything else and anything that doesn't have a cinched waist doesn't usually look or fit right, but it's still cute!

  23. The Ark & Co. Short Sleeved Dress is so casual chic. On the off chance I will the gift certificate, I will definitely be buying. Although for only $49 and free shipping, I'll probably buy it either way!

  32. I just created an account and thanks for the site recommendation, there are some really cute items and the prices are just right.
    I would probably go for the Jack BB Dakota Kim Strapless dress. I love the exposed and colored zipper track and I'm on a serious dress kick these days and would love to add it to my wardrobe. I could wear it any day of the summer and make it do double duty at my friend's wedding in August.
