Darlings, you know about the Thread Show already, right? We have told you about their shows in the past, but you can go learn all about them here. We love how they support independent designers with their curated day-long shows chock full of independent fashion, art, and music. We are going to keep this short and sweet: be one of the first three to comment (anything) on this post and WIN 2 free passes to the Thread Show this Sunday out in Orange County. We’ll give you until Friday morning at 10 am to comment. If you miss that, or are too shy (silly darlings) or too busy to comment, RSVP here and get into the show for a discounted rate of $5. Most excellent. Wish we could be there, and we hope Thread heads east soon!
