Today I went with my friend Allie to Absolute Vintage in downtown Columbia, MO. It is a great little vintage shop located on East Broadway. They have a great selection of vintage hats and have a ton of vintage jewelry. The shop is setup like you would picture any vintage store with round racks in the center of the store and other apparel lining the walls. In the back near the dressing rooms they have some evening wear and a decent selection of shoes. The staff here is friendly, but their prices are non-negotiable. I did however receive a coupon while checking out for $5 off my next purchase of $20 or more. They have an awesome Facebook page which they update frequently with new merchandise! Plus they have the cutest leopard print bags to put your purchases in!

This is a classic 1980's style blouse which includes huge shoulder pads and pearl buttons! It's 100% silk, has a subtle small check print, and has three pleats across each shoulder with a three button closure at the waist. This blouse is extremely flattering as its wide shoulders make ones waist look extremely narrow. The color is amazing and the pearl buttons give it a dressy feel!

Tip:
Never be afraid to buy something that needs to be altered! Since the item was a low price to begin with even if you take it to a professional to have it altered you will still probably save money in the end!
