Yes, You Can Buy an Evening Gown for $20 (or less)

If you're looking for a formal or dressy dress for prom, pageant or bridesmaid - and your budget is limited - a shop in Elk Grove is clearing out dresses for $10-20. 

Nicole's Previously Loved Fashions has approximately 100 short dressy style dresses at $10 each and 100 long prom, evening and bridesmaid gowns at $20.  The dresses are all gently used, but in great condition. 

Even if you aren't on a budget, it's worth the time to check it out.  You never know if the dress is there and why not pay less for it?

And, if you find two dresses that you want to buy, grab another one because the third one is free. 

Owner Lonna Ponce says she also has about 20 wedding gowns that she is selling for $99 each (not included in the buy one, get one free sale).

Nicole's Previously Loved Fashions is located at 10466 Franklin Blvd in Elk Grove.  They are open Friday, Saturday & Sunday 11:00 a.m.

Scent-sational Women Host Perfume Bar Events

Elk Grove -- Perfume Bars at private parties and public events are hot this sizzling summer where fragrance oils are mixed creating one-of-a-kind personalized scents!

Raynette Fuentes and Julie Gorans, founding designers at Studio Parfum Signature Scents, display trays of 100% fragrance oils that are combined creating a fusion blend for a unique scent. Guests blend fragrance oils designing her (or his) Signature Scent filled into a roll-on bottle as a Keepsake Memory.

"Our fragrance oils are skin-friendly because they don't contain preservatives, alcohol, parabens or water," Julie says as she dabs a spicy, unisex fragrance on my wrist perfect for women and men.

Gently dropping a floral fusion on my other wrist, Raynette points out that a Perfume Bar is a great idea for a bridal shower, wedding reception, birthday or office party, client appreciation gift or just a Girls' Night Out.
