How to Look Great for your Parties, Showers, Dinners, or Casual Wedding
Tom and I went to an Awards Dinner last weekend, and I must say we were looking pretty good together! Unfortunately, my Associate Minister, Rev Graham, had taken so many pictures at a wedding rehearsal the night before that my camera battery died before I could get a picture! But oh well...
Why am I telling you this? To let you in on my little secret. That night, I wore a brand new with tags BCBG cocktail dress, a pair of Cole Haan shoes, and a Jones New York overcoat that looked great. I figured I was wearing about $900 worth of designer between those three pieces. I actually paid exactly $110 for all of it.
How? I have a few favorite resale women's clothing stores I visit regularly. And I find sometimes I can get a good deal on a good piece of clothing or shoes at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Nordstrom Rack. I even have brides find good casual wedding dresses or bridesmaid dresses at JC Penny stores.
This is also how I find almost all of my little black officiant suits and dresses that I wear for your wedding ceremonies...
The thing is, sometimes you have to dedicate a little time to figuring out which stores carry the styles you love to wear; and even then you may not find one thing on one visit, and another time you may find three pieces that turn out to be just what you were looking for. But you could have a ton of fun if you made an afternoon of this with your bridesmaids, or your mom and sister...
If you want to contact me for a list of my favorite spots, along with the tricks I have found to get additional discounts at these stores, just contact us!
Be Well,
Rev. Sherry
