This week we have a very special item to give away, straight from HGTV’s Dream Home. When the Dream Home special first aired in January, the folks over on the Dream Home blog went nuts for the wrap that host Monica Pedersen wore. Our HGTV Super Fan, Gail, called Monica to let her know how much everyone loved her wrap and Monica offered to give it away to one lucky blog reader.
For a chance to win Monica’s wrap, comment on the post with a valid email address before 12/11c, Monday, February 23, with your answer to this week’s question. For some inspiration, check out the wrap during Monica’s tour of the Dream Home.
Today is the last day to enter for a chance to win HGTV Dream Home 2010, so we want to know: What would you wear to celebrate if you win the HGTV Dream Home? (Keep it clean, people!) Again, you have until 12/11c on Monday to answer. Click here for the official rules.
With a beautiful house like this one……who cares what I am wearing. Everyone will look at the HOUSE!
If I won the HGTV 2010 dream home..I would wear an outfit in bright corals and turquoise embracing all the colors of beautiful New Mexico. And of course I would be wearing my best acessory…A BIG SMILE!
I would wear the new wrap, or let my daughter wear it–she is my fashion guru, and almost as tall as me at age 11! I am sure she would pick out a great out fit for us both. I am thinking some beautiful turquoise and silver jewelry too. We both have been so excited about this house and the contest, if we win, I will have to make sure I have pockets to hold tissues since I will be crying with tears of joy!!
Being an Easterner from NC and always yearning to live in the West, I would deck out in full Southwestern fashion – I've always told my husband I should have been raised on a ranch. My heart gets excited when I envision myself in the Dream Home wearing a Black Cowboy Hat, Western Boots, Concha Belt, Silver and Turquoise Necklace,and a Black Simple Flowing Dress to show off the Turquoise Wrap – being interviewed and telling my NC friends, ya'll come on out to see me – my ship has finally come in right here in the Southwestern Desert!
If I won the house I would want to be comfortable in either jeans & boots or to show off the turquise wrap I won I would were a black tulip skirt with a black top, a 1000 strand liquid silver necklace with a silver and turquise large flower pin, liquid silver earrings and a large silver bangle bracelet to show off the turquise wrap to all its perfection. I would also were my black leather and silver concho belt that I bought in Albuquerque at Palm's Trading Post many years ago. It would all look just awesome together. I would be wearing boots with either outfit as they are the most comfortable to walk around all that wonderful scenery outside and to sit on the outside furniture before the fire to take in an evening sunset before bed with a nice margarita in hand. Good Luck to all of you but I do so hope we win as we do so want to move back to New Mexico and return home. We miss it and our allergies could sure use the break as well. Have a wonderful week and keep your dreams alive no matter what comes your way! Neva
If our family won the HGTV Dream Home, to celebrate, I'd wear my 2 year old on my left hip, my 4 year old at my side while holding my Mother's hand…Dad and husband would accessorize the group – oh – and a relaxed & stylish outfit to fit the Southwestern theme… Good luck to everyone!
I would wear this beautiful wrap with a black top, black jeans and some cute black boots. I have green eyes so this color would bring show the color of my eyes. Can't wait to be there!
What would you wear to celebrate if you win the HGTV Dream Home? :__When I win I will be wearing an apron!!!! Time to get the party started!!!!!__It will be a time to Celebrate with the many people who created this amazing house and of course with family and friends. I love to cook and entertain so it will be me in the kitchen cooking up a feast to give Thanks and Praise!!!__(of course I will also be wearing some stylish but comfortable dancing shoes!)__Bring on the music, food and beverages and "Let's get the party started!"__

I would get a new outfit for my grandma because I want her to have the home and everything she deserves it she took my sister and I in and adopted us. we owe everything to her.
HI. MONICA IF I WON THE DREAM HOME I WOULD BE THE HAPPY COWGRIRL IN SOUTH FLORIDA MONICA THANK YOU FOR ALL I LOVE THA WRAP. END I WOULD WEAR WOUR BEAUTIFUL WRAP. IN NEW MEXICO IN MAY NEW HOME IN SANTA FE. TERESA HARSTER
Blue jeans, of course!!
When I saw Monica I had to smile! She is wearing what I was wearing yesterday (sans the wrap), and my choice should I win: My most comfortable pair of jeans and a black top. Since I am in Florida it was a V-neck. Had a Western inspired belt with ornate silver buckle and black open toed heels. My kids got me several pieces of turquoise jewelry from the local monthly Street Festival where craftsmen display their treasures (Now a select few are mine, such great kids!). This wrap would be purrrrrfect to really set the outfit off! And cover up the stuffed belly from trying out the local cuisene that sounds to-die-for! May have to ditch the heels for something more steady as I am sure I will be just beside myself with excitement! Hmmmmmm, I wonder if I can find a coordinating tissue box, I will be bawling with joy, tear up just thinking about it! Life is good….Dream On HGTV! Thank you for the opportunity, it has been fun!
What would we wear if we won the Dream Home…..? Wow, I haven't even thought about it. But I'm entering to win that wrap of Monica's, if I won the wrap…. I would wear it with a nice white top underneath, nice pair of jeans, sport some boots, & jewelery.
* I would wear black pants to match the beautiful wrap with a white blouse an some pretty jewlery an some boots to fit in with the colors of the beautiful home…*
As the weather around March is highly unpredictable I think I'll prepare for anything – sleeveless blouse, with a wrap (turquoise would be great!), and a comfortable skirt. Nothing fancy but prepared for the potentially warm days and cool nights of the high dessert. I think I'd mostly be accessorizing with a camera as the sights will be photo worthy for sure!
Sorry that's "desert". I know better but the "s" finger is a little heavy on the keyboard this morning.
As I am very positive about winning this New Mexico Dream Home the place that I will call my land of Enchantment, I am grateful to even have this opportunity. When I stand there in front of thousands of people watching HGTV I want them to see my family and I at our best! My husband will be wearing his Cinch Jeans, Nice western button up, Leather Belt, Justin Boots, and the best part his cowboy hat. My two boys Hayden and Bowen will be wearing western attire just like daddy. As for me I will be wearing a pair of Cruel Girl Jeans, with a Black shirt to accent my turquoise smock, My B.B. Simon Black rhinestone Belt with my New Mexico Fair Queen Belt Buckle, a pair of my black "Fat Baby boots", I will also be wearing my western rhinestone star necklace with my Rhinestone earrings to match, and to top it off i will have do my hair big!!!! I Love big texas Curly hair. What a Great way to embrace my HGTV Dream Home then to be there standing with my family overwhelmed with joy next to Monica, Jaime, Linda, Jack and so many great people who took the time to build the 2010 Dream Home. mckennajack@hotmail.com
Well, I am not positive about what I would wear to the celebration of my new home in Sandia Park because I am not sure about the weather. I think it is probable that it will be chilly? I am thinking along the lines of a black dress with tights and black knee high boots with a gorgeous long handmade layed silver and turquiose necklace that I have, plus Monica's shawl for a slash of color, if it was mine! If not, I would add some other slash of color for such a festive occasion!! How exciting…..See you there. What's the date?
When I pose for the cameras, I will be wearing my Black Velour slacks and zip front jacket. I lost my home in 2006 and have played every year trying to win a home. Not only do I know what I would "wear", I would have a beautiful home to place my bust of Jesus in. I would have my first Christmas tree in years at Christmas time. I would get myself a pair of puppies as I had to give my dog away when I lost my home in 2006. She was the first pet I ever owned that I could not keep throughout it's full life. I would also invite Ellen, Oprah, Whoopee, and Jay to help Christen my home as they have kept my spirits up through a very tough period of my life. I would help my sister whose house partially burned right after Christmas '09. My list goes on, but it's hard to plan the rest of my life in this blog… haha…thank you!
When I walk into my new dream home I want to be wearing a dress straight from the Oscars! Because I will feel like a star walking into that beautiful blessed place.
I will wear jeans, a crisp white shirt and my squash blossom necklace along with some other Indian jewelry that I don't get out often enough. I can't wait!
Turquoise is my favorite color, I would have no trouble at all wearing that beautiful wrap with jeans, skirts, slacks, dresses. I will plan my entire Southwest wardrobe around it.
If I become a millionary I will dress like ejecutive and with a complement I will wear a wrap from HGTVcelebrity "Monica Pederson" blue turquoise favorite color to match with my DreamHome
`.~ Dreaming a Dream `.~
I would be so excited that I would have to call my favorite friend Cindy who has a boutique shop and have her dress me for the occasion, in nice pair of Stylish Jeans and something to go with that gorgeous wrap………..I could stand to live in warmer weather at least in the winter, Fairbanks, Ak can see 50 below…Oh Yeah, I can see me living in that home….
I would wear some jeans, cowboy boots a black tee and the beautiful turquoise wrap that Monica Pedersen wore!!! But most of all I would wear the biggest smile ever!! And even though I love the wrap I would give all the HGTV Dream House blog readers another chance to win this wrap. I know I'm a big dreamer, but that's what life if full of, beautiful dreams. Good luck everyone!!!
I will wear anything turquoise of course!
If I won I would first be thanking the Lord for the honor to win such an elaborate prize, then I would scream I won. Next I would get boots, jeans and a beautiful shirt to offset the beauty of the home. It wold be so special. The warmth of New Mexico would warm by body and the setting sun would bless my heart and I would be eternally grateful to HGTV which does so much good in our world.
I would wear an Anna Konya gypsy skirt… she is a famous Designer of the Southwest and A Magnolia Pearl Blouse… Some kind of cowboy boots and Southwest jewelery like Turquoise and bracelets….. I would look Like I lived in that house.
I will wear my silver and turquoise jewelry along with a beautifully simple white button down shirt, my favorite pair of jeans and black Liberty cowboy boots with hand stitched turquoise highlights. I can hardly wait!
If I was so lucky to have won the Dream Home I would wear my Black Leggings, Ankle boots, open neck white blouse with my Southwest Style Jewelry and Short Denim Jacket along with a Beautiful Expression on my face, Sparkling Eyes and Appreciation to HGTV and all the well wishers on hand. Then I would follow my Heart to New Mexico.
Who wouldn't want to look their very best in thier new dream home??? If I win, I'm celebrating by shopping for new clothes and accessories for my family at local spots in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Monica- I'm taking your lead by dressing southwestern. We may need your help with boots, hats, melagros and definitely more wraps!!!
Firstly, Big, Dark…SUNGLASSES!!! How awesome to be where the Sun Shines So Much! Who cares if it gets cold at night, I want to bask in the SUNSHINE!! Also, clothing, probably jeans, flip-flops (cause I don't like shoes), and a tank top with my long turquoise scarf (cozy and not too cold)! I'd also have to update my toe nails with a flowery pedicure. Oh ya!
I'm going to wear a pair of black jeans, black boots and a turquoise top with silver jewelry to honor Monica who's sported that beautiful turquoise color. However, when I win the beautiful wrap, it will be auctioned off and ALL the proceeds will go to Endometrial Cancer Research. My 86 year old mother was diagnosed at 85 with this Cancer and today, a Cancer Survivor!!
I would Love to win Monica Pedersen’s turquoise wrap! I'd wear it in my new dream home and host disadvantaged families. It would be a happy ending to the sorrow of losing my son in a hit and run accident a few years back, to give all that love and caring to others who have suffered. My joy in finally having a secure home and sharing that joy is an amazing opportunity I will enjoy.
If I win I would wear something chic but comfortable also some of the beautiful turquoise Jewelery I purchased while working a medical assignment near there, and if I win the beautiful wrap worn by Monica Pederson it would definitely be part of my attire.
What would I wear to celebrate if I won HGTV's Dream House??? Well, only the biggest smile and cheesiest grin you would ever see on TV. I don't think I'd quit smiling for a "month of Sundays" as my mom used to say! Clothing-wise – no idea; I don't own any party clothes.
Well, I'm from Alaska and rarely wear pants, so I'd go with my shorts and a t-shirt with tennis shoes. I'd have my Wife by my side and she's look great in her nice flip-flops, jeans, tank top, and turquoise scarf with Dark Sunglasses and our giant schnoodle Wookiee would be there with us to celebrate!
What would I wear when I win the Dream Home 2010? I would go shopping for a beautiful Native American beadeded top and a denim or southwestern long skirt. Also, I would wear some cool turquiouse earrings made by local artisans, and some leather sandals or boots, which would all match that fabulous wrap. That wrap would look good with my long brown hair, and bring out the blue in my husband's eyes. I am soooooo excited!!!! And if it is still cold, I will probably wear a black sweater and some jeans with the turquoise jewelry.
What will I wear to the HGTV Dream Home 2010 revealing?
I have envisioned myself wearing white canvas trousers with a striped pleated halter top in a vivid print (black and white with turquoise accents) and ankle boots. To finish off the look, I would wear open tier turquoise drop earings, a rope trim turquoise ring, and Monica's beautiful trurquoise wrap.
Have no idea…….when I win call me and I will decide then.
i'd wear jeans and a light weight sweater
When I win the HGTV dream home 2010 I would love to be wearing the gorgeous wrap that Monica wore in the special. That color is just so bright and refreshing…can't wait to win it!
Monica looks so darling in that turquoise wrap! I am short and not as svelte as Monica. I would probably lay it strategically over a chair in the great room. It would adorn a chair beautifully! If I were to win this beautiful home, then I'll think about what I'd wear. I'd have to check the weather, and then go buy a couple new outfits!
Whatever you wear Susie, it will be gorgeous. I was thinking about getting a new outfit as well
What a great question, as we should really be prepared to look our best for this incredibly joyous windfall! Since I have been teaching on the Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations for the past seven years, it would be appropriate to wear my favorite turquoise jewelry; it is a a symbol of the amazing and challenging journey this educational experience has been. Teaching my students has helped me to grow and become a better person. I will proudly wear Monica’s wrap with my jewelry on my winning day, and hopefully it will give me the confidence to stand tall and strong so my knees don’t buckle under from the shock of winning such a beautiful new home. And thanks HGTV for letting all of us who entered this contest to dream big!
Dear Dawn,
I just wanted to tell you how much honor and love comes through in your post. You must be a wonderful teacher, and well respected in the community. The essence of the jewelry becomes so meaningful, when it has a story and creates the energy of symbology.
What would I wear to the HGTV Dreamhouse? I would be wearing the biggest smile on my face and my blue jeans! As for accessories, they would be my family.
My big smile and radiating happiness of Wining and I am sure some very joyful tears
.
i would run to town and purchase the most stunning outfit and accessories there as well as including the beautiful local turquoise jewelry. Of course we all know how well that color matches the dream house. An additional brown in the ensomble will be the perfect touch. Imagine how fantastic my outfit will be with this beautiful wrap i am winning just before i win the new hgtv dream house built for me to win and share with my family and the surrounding community for years to come.
I would dress in black like Monica, pull out all of my southwestern jewelry that's filling my jewelry armoire, and layer on every single piece of it to celebrate my new HGTV Dream Home and my love of the Southwest!
If we won the house, I would probably wear a long denim skirt with a Southwest camisole and boots. I would also wear the abalone & turquoise jewelry that my Mom left me before she passed away. The wrap would look great with it!! This type of home has always been my Dream Home and I have quite a few Southwest collectiables to add to the Decor that is already "Outstanding!"
Of course I know exactly what I'd wear, as I visualize myself opening the door with this outfit on, and in fact it hangs on my closet door as a daily reminder that I am the winner, and of what I will be wearing when HGTV rings my doorbell! It is a purple sweater vest with a ruffled high neck undershirt and sleeves sewn in. I picked it up at Kohl’s in November and it matches nicely with a black pair of slacks.
As for what I will wear at the house presentation in April/May…..it will follow the style of the home; southwestern of course! My ensemble will consist of a black chiffon long skirt with beautiful pink roses, paired with a pink long-sleeved shirt and pink denim vest….and oh, of course….my cowboy boots!
