New Fit and Flare Wedding Dress!
by Leah Marmo 27 May '16

27 May '16

Hi Neighbors! I'm selling a beautiful NEW wedding dress for $300 that my sister found at a second hand store. It's a fit n flare style still with the tags on. Im not sure of the size but it was too small for me so I would guess it may be a size 4-6. It's a very fitted, vintage style! Let me know if you'd like to see more pictures -- Leah Jo Marmo, MSW "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Hi everyone, *Thanks to all who sent recommendations for financial advisors! * It took me a while to organize the list, but I am glad I waited as another recommendation came in today from someone who interviewed many advisors.
