Win $1K and a 411 Call from Molly Sims through Wendy's New Salad Collection Contest

Actress and noted fashion icon, Molly Sims, has teamed up with Wendy's to create a cool, creative contest that incorporates one of my favorite style board sites, Polyvore.com and inspiration from their New Salad Collection.

To get started, head over to Polyvore.com/Wendys and create a monochromatic style board using inspiration from one of Wendy's new premium salads--the Asian Cashew Chicken salad or the BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad. From fire-roasted edamame to sweet corn ingredients, get inspired to translate these items into fashion on Polyvore.

You have until midnight on May 18, 2014 to create a Polyvore board to win. The boards will be judged by Molly Sims herself with the winner receiving a one-on-one call by the actress and $1,000 grand prize.
