We Were in a Fashion Show, and it was Epic

(Image Source: WordPress.com)

Every year in Mankato, hundreds of women gather for the Zonta Fashion Show. Zonta Club is a nation-wide womens' group that works to support the rights and issues of all women. The fashion show features dozes of local boutiques. Each store presents several fall looks. the Over the years, the fashion show has generated thousands of dollars to support local causes, such as the Open Door Health Clinic. So, when they asked if Vivian Rose Boutique wanted to participate, I was all in. Fashion, dinner, friends and all for a cause? YES, please!

This year, the theme of the night was "Turn Back Time". For those of you familiar with where my store is located (a historic train depot) or have been to my home (antique city), then you will know this type of theme is my jam. Here I am in my vintage gear sharing a smirk. (I LOATHE having my picture taken - even selfies.) You can't tell, but I am rocking the Bridgette Dress, and I love how it's so classic and timeless.

My gorgeous models, or as I call them, the OG Rosebuds were Jessica Blais and Melissa Bradley. These sisters have been with me since I first started the website, and without their constant support and assistance, I really don't know if I would even be in business. Plus, they are real-life role models in the community. I am so lucky that they were able to be our representatives for the evening.

Below are some photos from the event along with a list of what each model is wearing. Links are included if the item(s) are available on our website.
