Outfit:
Xhiliration dress (Platos Closet, Williston VT), $10.00, Merona espadrilles (Target, White Plains NY), $24.99
TIP: Buy something from a consignment store, wear it for a period of time and get your money’s worth, then sell it back and make about 40% of your initial purchase.
That’s what I did with a pair of jeans at Plato’s Closet. With the $9.00 I received back from re-selling them, I was able to get this cute dress for a net cost of $1.00!
Just keep recycling!
Occasion: New Local Bars
My friend, Erin and I tried a new bar that popped up on Main Street, right near Church Street. It’s called Side Bar, and their drinks were incredible. I had the Aphrodite with tequila, pomegranate liquor, tropical juices, lime, and a salt + pepper rim. Drinks were categorized by “sweet”, “spicy”, “refreshing”, “bubbles”, “boozy”, and “mojitos”. Great selection and delicious sounding concoctions!
We had the whole bar to ourselves until a punk rock band started playing and it got a little too loud and heavy. I don’t know what the typical scene is like there, but I definitely want to go back for the drinks and good service!
New bars are popping up everywhere including:
Archives (a sweet barcade). Great drinks and everything from Pacman to Mario Bros!
Mad River Distillers. You can get a sampler!
Foam (by the waterfront). Hot new spot!
Cheers!
