I love all the new flowing ankle-length dresses with a 1950s flair. This may be a fashion trend that will fade with time but for now… I am delighted! The blue and white dress featured above is by Zara, but I bought it in Act II Consignment Boutique in Newport News, VA. I found the dress in a window and got so lucky it was in my size and my favorite colors.  

When I first saw the dress, I had no idea if it would fit. I always hate to inconvenience a salesperson, but I knew luck was on my side this time. I needed that dress, and I needed it now! I made it to the dressing room, and it fit! It was missing two buttons, but I could move two other buttons on the dress, which would not be obvious. 

Thrift shops are all the rage right now, and it’s easy to see why! What are your favorite thrift stores in your area?
