Feel-Good Fabulousness at Sell Your Sole Consignment

Building a Spine in a Backless Dress
Here we are at the last installment of my Journey of a Thousand Dresses. I want to thank you all for joining me every step of the way. Going into this journey I thought it would be easy. Just throw on a dress each day, add some shoes, and be done. But this little adventure …
