Shecky's is pretty much a big fashion bazaar that takes place in cities across the U.S. Local and independent designers showcase their wares, and prices are slashed for the lucky shoppers. Boston's event takes place in the Cyclorama. As expected, the place was packed!
Jute & Jackfruit couldn't be there this time around, but I did happen upon another eco-fashion line, this one out of NYC: Eco-Soul. The pieces looked cool and I plan to investigate more in the future...
View from below: the ceiling of the Cyclorama (just for fun, in black and white):
Since it was crowded, it was tough to get an outfit photo inside. But I tried!
Dress: Wal-Mart (My 4th of July dress!)Layering tank: Target, maybe?
Leggings: Forever 21
Boots: Payless
Fedora, scarf: Gap
Bracelet: Gift from mumise
Necklace: Borrowed from mumsie!
Purse: NY & Co.
Red bag: Shecky's Goodie Bag :)
More on the famous Goodie bag later! You might be wondering why in the name of all things summertime I was so layered up. In August! Weather-wise, it was a tempermental week (which is really the norm for New England anyway. At this point I shouldn't let it surprise me). That day, in particular, it was rainy and cold in my area all day. When I went into town that evening, the sun came out and heated up the rain-soaked ground... making all my layers seem rather superfluous. I think this will be a good look in February, though. :P
A few outdoor shots:
The sidewalks are brick like this everywhere in the Back Bay. I think it's my favorite Boston neighborhood. The little sunflower garden growing amidst all the brick was a lovely surprise. :)
So what's in a Shecky's Goodie bag, you might ask? All kinds of fun stuff!

The Goodie bag alone is worth the price of admission (though this blogger got in for free!). I was especially excited about the full-size "Yes to Carrots" hair mask and various vegan snacks: mini Larabars, Riceworks chips and more! Mmm...
I did make one little indulgent purchase at Shecky's: this vintage-y lace babydoll dress (it doesn't have a label, so I'm calling it vintage!):
A closeup of the pretty details. And once again, that's my mother's necklace. :)
I can't wait to style this! It's a little too warm out to wear now, but as soon as it cools down again, I'll pop this atop leggings and knee-high boots.
Shecky's should be back in Boston sometime this winter, and I hope to host another ticket giveaway. If you don't live in the area, be sure to check their website for Girls Night Out events near you!

Wow! That lace dress is so gorgeous it hurts. That lace fabric is the same one used by an NZ designer called Stolen Girlfriend Club for their dresses - http://www.mixitup.co.nz/v2_fashion_4.php?task=fashion You can't really see it up close but I've seen it on the racks and it's gorgeous. Have fun wearing it and do share it online when you do.
That dress is so pretty! what a find. Glad you had fun!
the yes to carrots line smells so good! i'm jealous.

Yay, your Shecky's pictures! Goodie bags are so much fun. The lace dress you bought is gorgeous. It's so you! ♥
Love your outdoor Back Bay pictures. The one of you looking down is my favorite. Red and purple is a strangely nice combination, isn't it? Just the other day I was wearing a purple tank top and a red headband :)
That lace dress is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you come up with for it!
Here we have a similar shopping/fashion display, it's called Shopaholic. It's open for a day or two and there are tons of boutiques and independent fashion designers that showcase their pieces and sell with a discount.
Hope you had tons of fun!

I love your red dress. I can't believe you got it at Wal-Mart. How come I didn't see that??
And I am so jealous of your goodie bag..... ;)
