This dress will make all your vintage, pre-loved fashion dreams come true, and it even has pockets!

Pockets make every outfit better, says Rebecca Johnson, and the dress she is modelling in this picture is no exception. The bright and cheerful dress is a size 12, and is one of the many beautiful items which will be for sale at the Taranaki Women's refuge pop-up shop event which takes place later this month.

Rebecca's taken on a pop-up styling challenge, using pre-loved clothes that will be for sale at the pop-up, to create some amazing outfits that she is showcasing on social media each day in the lead-up to the event.

The Stratford Press will feature one of Rebecca's outfits as an Outfit of the Week in the paper every week this month.

Readers will be able to find the clothes featured, plus plenty of other great fashion items and accessories at the Taranaki Women's Refuge pop-up shop.
