Rags To Zig Zags







Dress: Crossroads Trading | Shoes: Favs from Ross | Handbag: Kate Spade | Lipstick: NK Lipstick(Shade 301) | Necklace: "Emma" via Coquettish

Summertime usually means a lot of wondering and shopping for me and I have kept my tradition of doing just that. Exploring the area of where I work, I came across the best consignment shop I have ever seen (like no joke) called Crossroads Trading. 

There you can consign your clothing and receive the money right there on the spot or use it for a store credit to buy other awesome pieces. This place is so well organized, which makes my shopping experience enjoyable. The associates were helpful and majority of the things I saw were in "like new" condition. They also had few designer brands throughout the store which is always exciting. 

This dress along with many other things immediately caught my attention. It has been my goal to find a dress with the exact fitting and design as this one; one with a chic color combination and pattern. Out of all the shopping I did this week I feel this is my favorite item and I couldn't wait to wear it. Finding a dress like this has been so hard for me because of my buttocks and proper length, but this was everything I was looking for. No exaggerations are being used right now, this is really how excited I am.

Although I had to work, I couldn't wait to wear my dress. Someone's "old" rags turned into my zig zag treasure. I use the word old very loosely because this dress is practically new. There are absolutely no signs of wear, along with many other pieces in Crossroads Trading.

Overall I am super happy with my dress and the store as a whole. Although this store is only in certain locations, I highly recommend checking it out if it is in your area. There is something for everyone in there and the pricing is great, especially if you are on a budget and have a shopping addiction like me. What are some of your favorite consignment shops in your area? What are your opinions about the two tone blue dress?

Urban Chic
















Complete outfit a special order by Coquettish: email for details

Time has been quickly passing me by and I am soooo late on posting. However, I am human but I am back to what it is I love and it's my blog and business. I feel saying hello to June is only appropriate with a custom order and styling by yours truly giving it a complete Coquettish statement. 

Personally so much has been going on with me. School is out and my goal is to continue branding and marketing Coquettish, but also finding a fashion and marketing internship in DC, all while working and enjoying my summer. Although I have a long summer bucket list I am determined to get all things done. 

Keeping this post very simple and to the point. I am dying to know what has been going on with my lovely Coquette followers. What are you summer plans? Where are you working or interning? 

P.S. Be on the look out for me to be featured on several blogs. Will provide all details once it has been published; I'm super excited.
