My Sister's Rehearsal Dinner
My sister is getting married!!! Tonight was her rehearsal and I wore the blue jacket that I purchased from Absolute Vintage! I wore the jacket over a fitted black bandage style dress that I purchased from express for New Years Eve a year ago. The jacket was the perfect color for the event as my sister chose Tiffany's Blue as her wedding color!

New Beginning Consignment Clothing
New Beginning Consignment Clothing located in Columbia, MO is a great place to shop when you just want to browse the racks. It is well-organized and is sorted by size, however with the large amount of merchandise the store can quickly become overwhelming. They do offer great sales and even offer 10% off when you have a student i.d.. I do not recommend this shop if you are looking for truly vintage items, but they do have an awesome selection of blazers and career wear. Dressing rooms are available.

My Finds:
Gold 100% Silk Tunic
Asking Price: $8.00
Purchase Price: $7.20 (10% off w/ student i.d.)
This tunic is 100% silk and that is the main reason that I purchased it. It is a bit over-sized, but will look cute this a pair of skinny jeans. It will be great for next fall and winter and will look very nice paired with a cute scarf, I'm thinking maybe a black scarf and I can wear it to a Mizzou event!

My Finds
60's Style Floral Print Dress
Asking Price: $15.00
Purchase Price: $15.00

The dress appears that it was homemade as it has no tags in it and the seams are not professionally finished. I love the fit of this dress as it comes in at the waist. I also really like the deep V-neck, although it does require you to wear something underneath it as it is a bit too revealing! I don't overly love the fabric of this dress and since there are not tags I cannot tell for sure what the fiber content is, but it is itchy and heavy like a wool. It will be a fun dress to wear this fall with boots and leggings!
Brown Leather Belt
Asking Price: $6.00
Purchas Price: $6.00
I decided to purchase the brown leather belt that the dress was being displayed with because I was not sure if I would have any belts at home that would match the dress. It was in good condition and I know I will be able to use it with other items.
Tip: Don't be afraid to ask the salesperson for help taking something off a mannequin! This is important when shopping resale because almost all of the items are one of a kind so you won't be able to find the item that is being displayed somewhere on the floor!
