hello, gorgeous
I first stumbled across the clothing brand Madras 641 on Twitter (seriously…is there anything those 140 characters can’t do?), and I was hooked. Cofounded by friends Subu and Ina, their designs incorporate signature touches in each lovingly crafted garment, such as foil print, paisley flourishes, or an intricately detailed hem. Their Fall/Winter ‘08 collection features a signature tunic rendered in–hello, gorgeous!–bronze studs, that would be perfect for layering over a long-sleeved tee and leggings, or wearing with heels after the kiddos are in bed. (OK, so that’s what I would do. If you don’t have kids, or can stiletto after toddlers, feel free to totter in the tunic at all times.)
What I love most about their line, besides its amazingly affordable prices, is the clothes’ fantastical details: fabric tucked inside the pleats of a jumper, sequined paillettes bedecking a shoulder, and a subtle horizontal slit across the back of an oxfordy shirt.
I want all of it. And I bet you will to0, which is why misosouper and Madras 641 are giving away two shirts to two lucky winners. Choose from those featured above: the Paisley Muse, a drop-waist tunic with a drawstring at the bottom; and the Rough Around the Edges, a button-down, bat sleeve top, both of which would look great layered over a three-quarter length top. Leave a note in the comments indicating which shirt is your favorite, and we’ll randomly draw 
one winner for each garment.
And if you don’t win, Madras 641 is offering misosouper readers a 30% discount on both shirts; simply e-mail ina@madras641.com, mention the misosouper giveaway, and let her which top you’d like. (They accept PayPal, as if you weren’t enticed enough.)
the fine print:
Comments will be closed and entries will not be accepted after 11:59 pm EST on Sunday, January 11, 2009. The winner will be selected on Monday, January 12, 2009, and notified by e-mail. Results of the giveaway will be announced on Monday, January 12, 2009. Multiple entries will not be accepted, and previous giveaway winners are not eligible. Misosouper, a shopping blog reserves the right to disqualify entries that are incomplete, or considered spam.

I love the “rough and tumble” look. But I also love the Paisley Muse. I realize this might be different but I want them for my wife of 15 years. She needs the new clothing and our money is tight. She would look so hot in them. Wow!!
And we are not youngsters. Try 62 and 60. So what. She has always been beautiful to me.

I think both shirts are just so darn cute! They are definitely my “style” and just give you that stylish look and also a laid back casual feel! If I had to choose just one, darn, I would pick the Rough Around the Edges top! But really, I want them both, LOL! Thank you for introducing this online company to use and for the opportunity to enter.
