Revas Rags 2 Roses: Marketplace give-away

Hi everyone :)

Have you entered the give-a-way yet?

Click on the widget or just go to yesterday's post....

I'm easy ;)

I had so much fun with this tunic and could have kept on and on,

but I think it's time to wash it. Here are a couple more ways I styled it.

First, with pattern mixing and wide leg pants...
I knotted one side to give a tucked effect and added feather dangle earrings.

Second, I ditched the black floppy for a giant straw hat,
Basic black leggings and open-toe clogs.
The cloth belled belt is also from India, a gift from Vix.

I'm really excited to be a part of this collaboration so

please enter and tell a woman in India she can hope for a better life...

Hugs,
Reva :)

Hi Everyone!

Today is the day for you to enter my first big time GIVE-A-WAY!

MarketPlace contacted me a couple weeks back to sponsor this contest!

This is no ordinary contest, MarketPlace is an organization that helps the women of India to become financially secure and empowers them to do what they love...

They sent me this tunic to style and I had so much fun doing it! I will be showing you all the different ways one lovely tunic can be worn this week!

They are also giving away a $100 gift card to

one of my faboo readers!

THEIR MISSION STATEMENT:

MarketPlace: Handwork of India is an innovative fair trade, not-for-profit organization which combines the experience of running a business with a variety of support programs designed to effect real, meaningful, and lasting change in the lives of low-income women in India. We work with 480 artisans who are organized into 14 independent co-operatives which produce high-quality women's apparel and home decor. Being in charge of their own businesses, the women learn valuable skills and are able to earn a living and support their families. In addition, programs offer educational and enrichment opportunities designed to help the artisans overcome personal, cultural and financial obstacles.

Empowered with independence and self-confidence, these women become agents of change. And they find the courage, with the support of their cooperative members, to fight for what they believe in. Asserting themselves as decision-makers in their families, they have kept their children in school and out of early marriages, thus ensuring them a better future. They have also become social activists, using the skills they have learned in the workplace to improve conditions in their communities.

In MarketPlace's comprehensive and creative organization, economic development is only the first step for these brave and resourceful women.

Hmm... What would I get???

Maybe some home decor?

OOh! Pants!!!

What will you pick?

I know what I'd get ;)
You guys know how thrifty I am,
but to help women who have so little is so much more important
than a few dollars to me...
But, you can spoil yourself while helping another woman live her dream.
How cool is that? To become an agent of change...
