#Apollo50 science x fashion choice:

@SvahaUSA’s Apollo dress they sent me to try out. It’s a 100% cotton swirly T-shirt dress (with pockets!!) where spacecraft schematics are stylish.

svahausa.com
Code MIKA20 is 20% (on anything)

Disclosure: I’m not getting paid or a sales commission — they sent me the dress to review (& yeah, I’m keeping it!), but that’s it. #ad-ish?

Pro: It’s a swirly science dress that’s more casual than my full performance gowns & crinolines.

Pro: Pockets!!

Con: T-shirts are clingy & unforgiving. So are T-shirt dresses. If I stash rocks in my pockets, even wee pebbles break the line.

Pro: Cotton is exceptionally friendly in hot weather. Breathable, lightweight, wicks sweat...

Con: ...& wrinkles. Yay ironing?

I have a personal grudge against sleeves. If it’s not a jacket, I don’t want them.

But... this won me over. It really is the dress equivalent of jeans & a T-shirt with that splash of science flare. Layer shorts under so I don’t flash the raccoons & I’m good to go.

I like it.

The same spacecraft schematic comes on a dress or a shirt in kids & adults sizes.

More space fashion: svahausa.com/collections/sp… or they do other sciences.

MIKA20 will give you 20% off. I’m not sure how long it’s valid for (help @SvahaUSA?) but at least 24hrs.

Q: Is “flashing raccoons” a Canadian euphemism?

A: Nope, I had a visitor in the rocks I did my best to not startle.

Update:
The MIKA20 code for 20% is good through midnight* Pacific on Saturday July 27.

Pretty sure it’s an Achievement Unlocked that I went shopping using a discount code of my own name.

*Technically 11:59pm.
