It’s time for another Viernes Social! Today we have a fun contest for an evening clutch – perfect for upcoming holiday parties!
When I attended the Type-A Mom Conference this September, I had the opportunity to participate in a fashion show sponsored by dressbarn. Several speakers got to go shopping for our “perfect outfit” and then we all got to strut our stuff at the opening breakfast of the conference. It was a lot of fun!

I had never shopped at dressbarn prior to that and any time that I had entered the store, I had a tough time finding clothes I liked. I mean, even the name was a little odd to me. Why would you have the word “barn” in the name of a clothing store for women? It turns out, that the store originated when a lady back in the days (can’t remember what year exactly), used to make dresses and sell them out of her barn. Hence, dressbarn. Doesn’t that all make sense now?
With a staff member’s help, though, I was able to find lots of clothes I liked. It’s amazing what having someone else pick out clothes for you does! I asked her if she’d be willing to come shopping with me from then on, but alas, she lived in North Carolina, so that wasn’t going to happen.
Now that the holidays are here, dressbarn has provided me with a lovely black evening clutch that will come in handy for that Christmas party my husband’s job is having. Perfect timing!
Of course, one of you can win your very own evening clutch as well! And guys, this would make a nice gift for that special lady in your life, so feel free to enter the contest too!

LOVE DB! I buy everything there
and always get compliments… Holidays especially make me fancy. Thanks
I have no major plans for the holidays but will be going on a Caribbean Cruise after the holidays and always enjoy wearing Dressbarn dressy clothing. A nice clutch would be great. Also love my casual clothing from Dressbarn.
I have four holiday parties coming up and could really use a new clutch to liven up my holiday wardrobe. All of the bags I have are too “mom-ish” AKA huge and not cute as they hold diapers, wipes, snacks, etc. I need a fun going out bag, for these parties as its the only time of the year that I may actually get a chance to go out! LOL
Please enter me in this contest, thank you!

I would love to win the clutch!!
We went to a Christmas potluck and will just be enjoying the holidays with family
I have to say that I am an NEW Dress Barn Customer. I had a change in my lifestyle as of November 2007! I decided that I wanted to change the quality of my life by way of my eating and excercise habits. Prior to February 2009, I could not shop at Dressbarn because of the size I wore! As of today, December 14, 2009 I proudly sport a size 18/20! I have a new attitude, a new outlook on life, and a new wardrobe! Now I need a new clutch to accessorize the new me and the new look!!! As for my holiday plans, I will be attending a Christmas Ball (Black Tie Affair) and hopefully receiving an award!!!
No serious plans, just enjoying being with my family!!
Dressbarn, the only place to shop! Spending as much time with family as possible. Giving to those in need, and sharing laughs with friends….
I started to say “just” family get-togethers, but realized those are my favorite kind.
This clutch would be perfect for carrying to my husbands office Christmas party.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

We already went to my husband’s work Christmas party and we’re having our families over!
No plans yet, but here’s hoping! Love the clutches.
We don’t have any holiday “party” plans for our own house, but we’ll be driving the 7 hours to grandmother’s house on Christmas Eve…we’ll be driving back on Christmas Day after we’ve been stuffed with enough Swedish Meatballs to fill an entire store!

I only have one party this year (and that’s fine with me)!
@kelly wakefield, Congratulations! You won a clutch!
We had a holiday party at our home two weekends ago and are having another one this weekend.
My holiday plans fell this last saturday, when I was my sister’s +1 for her work party. It was a bit awkward at first, with my not knowing anyone, but the catered food/desserts was DELICIOUS and the drink vouchers didnt hurt! ^__^
going to my parents house
These are so lovely! I have 1 party to go to. I haven’t picked my dress yet,and need a beautiful evening bag. Thanks!
