Okay, so if you're reading this, you know Gunne Sax or you know Jessica McClintock—in fact, you probably searched for those names because you love them and collect them and are always on the search for them.
I get it. I love them and collect them too. I get very, very happy when I see a Laura Ashley or a Gunne Sax/JM in my treasure hunts.
On the particular day I just. had. a feeling that I should visit this one particular church thrift store that I hadn't been to in awhile. I am huge on intuition and hunches and following your gut and it has never served me wrong. So after volunteering at the local PetSmart where I hang out with the kitties, I turned the car right instead of left and headed north.
And guess what? I found not one, but TWO of these gorgeous Gunne Sax dresses in perfect condition just hanging on the rack waiting for me.
Honest. To. Goodness. I love when this happens. It's like magic.
I immediately bought them both.
Something brought you here today to this listing. Was it a hunch or Google? Either way, you're here now. Check them both out and see what your gut says.
Jess and I will wait.
