It's not everyday you come across a Facebook Marketplace item listed by an Emmy Award-winning journalist. Yet that's exactly what happened during a late-night scroll through Boise Marketplace over the weekend.

Eagle High School alumna and beloved KTVB news anchor Morgan Romero listed a gorgeous dress for sale in late August. The investigative reporter posted a picture of herself in the summery Hello Molly maxi dress for the listing.

Hello Molly ‘Entrance is Yours’ maxi dress—white, size small. This gorgeous halter dress is in mint condition! I wore it once for my bridal shower [...] and got so many compliments. Plus, it was extremely comfortable and breathable. Originally $115.

Despite her high-profile position for Idaho's largest media organization, Romero appears to be a business-savvy bargain hunter, a doll on a dime, or perhaps both. Unfamiliar with Hello Molly, we visited the boutique's website. What we found all but shocked us! Hello Molly is an Australian-based retailer that carries "on-trend wardrobe essentials that don't break the bank." How cool is that?

During an era saturated with unrelatable icons and influencers removed from quaint concepts like bills and budgets, we find Romero's affordable and oh-so-adorable style refreshing!

You might think it's strange, but her choice to sell the garment as opposed to donating it makes Romero even more relatable. She's not out for publicity or looking for tax write-offs disguised as charitable giving. For all we know, she's just another girl with a closet full of fabulous crap she could sell to pay off student loans or put towards a down payment on a home. Who knows?

As echoed by her impressive wheelin' and dealin' on Boise Marketplace and KTVB bio, Romero's as grounded as they come:

When she's not chasing leads and digging into documents, Morgan loves outdoor adventures with friends, family and her fiancé. She is into hiking, biking, rafting, camping, and exploring new places in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She's also into exercising, hot yoga, wine, and coffee - lots of coffee.

Listen, we'll always be Team Jen, and we'll never stop rooting for Jennifer Garner's Pretend Cooking Show, or Megan Trainer's self-love vibes. But there's no celebrity we adore more than Morgan Romero for selling her bridal party dress on Boise Marketplace. Oh, and Morgan, if you're reading this, we're loving your new balayage!
