One of the biggest hurdles for any business venture can be the thorny subject of
office space. As well as being a substantial cost, finding the right location and size
of office can also be problematical.

My friend suggested that I try to sell it, but somehow it just didn’t seem right. It somehow seemed really unsentimental. So, instead, I decided to just donate it to a local thrift store. Maybe that doesn’t sound very sentimental to you, either, but to me it made more sense. Part of the reason is because I didn’t spend a ton of money on my dress, relative to how much many wedding dresses cost. And who knows? Maybe my dress will make someone else’s day really special!
