Owner of local business, Barre Life , and our model for this shoot, Ashley, is always on the go. Most of her days consist of running from the office straight into a barre class, where she jumps into athletic wear and guides her students through intense workouts that blend ballet, Pilates and yoga.
She did an amazing job showing how you can take off your heels, throw on some sneaks and make a vintage dress more relaxed - a perfect in-between the office and the gym (or Barre class). 👗👟
Whether you prefer to dress up or dress down or have the desire to do both, when it comes to dresses, we say, you do you boo! Fishtoes Vintage & Treasures in downtown Manchester, NH has plenty of vintage dresses in a wide variety of sizes, colors & styles.
"This shoot was so much fun and took me out of my comfort zone. Lara and the whole crew are incredible at their craft and I cannot recommend Fishtoes enough! You’ll get the old fashioned shopping experience, the way it should be.
Lara helps you pick out what you’ll feel best in and styles you with such ease and perfection. They have so many great options for any and all occasions!
Shout-out to the women doing it all, doing it well, and looking effortless doing it.” - Ashley
100% Here's to all the women out there who are always hitting the ground running to seize each day! Cheers to you all!
