It is no secret that I adore Buffalo Exchange. Last summer, when the acting work got slow, I even worked there as a buyer (weirdest eight weeks of my life, by the way). Now that I don’t work there, I try to go in at least once every other week, because on any given weekday, I find an overlooked treasure just waiting to go home with me.

This week, it was a Karta mini dress, marked for only $26.00. The person who sold this to Buffalo Exchange is an idiot. Sellers only get 25% cash of the marked price. This means she got a measly $6.50 for this fun dress. These dresses are going for $200+ on eBay, and this exact dress is at Neiman Marcus right now for $362.00.

Thusly, I am declaring this dress my Treasure of the Week! I wore it to my children’s theater appreciation dinner last night and was complemented right and left. At $362.00 it is a bit overpriced for a Polyester dress, but at $26.00 it’s a steal for a designer frock. I adore the vintage ’60’s feel and yellow is one of my power colors.
