Celebrating Moms Everywhere!

Aren't Moms swell  :)   We sure think so!

Love your dress, mom! 

In the spirit of celebrating Moms everywhere, we are bringing back our Mother's Day contest from last year!

Mother's Day is May 11th, and we are giving you a  chance to win a $100 prize package for your fabulous Mom!

The contest is easy as pie & will occur via Facebook & Instagram:

Enter on Facebook:
 Visit us at Out Of The Blue (Frockstar) Clothing and send us a message with a picture of you & your lovely Mom, and, if you desire, share a story or memory or just a reason why your Mom is great!  You can also upload your photo right to Facebook and tag us as "Ootb Frockstar".

Enter on Instagram:
Upload your photo with the hashtag #ootbmom . That's all there is to it!

Submissions are due by May 8th!

We will share your submissions in a photo album devoted to your amazing moms.

We will only choose one winner - though we do think all the Moms out there deserve a super-special Mother's Day!

If you've visited us or browsed the Village this past week, you may have noticed beautiful ballet costumes in our windows!  We're so thrilled to have these amazing pieces on display.

Talk about  (really)vintage-inspired garments! This ballet's style is right up our alley.

Praise for R + J:

"Romeo and Juliet leaves you longing for a few more pages of music and another lovers' pas de deux."

-The Winnipeg Sun

This ballet adaptation of the timeless tale first premiered on the Royal Winnipeg Ballet stage on September 30th, 1981 (RWB's blog will tell you all about it).  23 years later, R + J are back! 

Note: the pink dress on the far left is not a ballet costume; it's one of our dresses!  It is definitely ballerina-inspired, and would be a sweet outfit to wear to R + J or on your Valentine's Day date!

Romeo + Juliet plays at the Centennial Concert Hall February 12-16.

How great is it that we live in a city where we can see a classic Shakespearean tragic love story set to music and transformed by a professional ballet company? 

Being a Winnipegger can be pretty great.

Come on down and see us to win your free tickets to R + J!
