This weekend the lovely gals of Vincent (aka the chicest pair in town) are holding a pretty fantastic event: their Dress for Success Donation Drive. This Friday and Saturday, you can bring your lightly worn office wear to Vincent and they'll donate it to Dress for Success.
DFS is a not-for-profit that provides job interview coaching and professional wardrobes to marginalized and under-employed women looking to find new work. With the help of DFS, these women can stride into an interview feeling capable and confident, and SLAY. How empowering is that? I love the Vincent ladies for doing this, brava Ang and Amanda.
This Friday and Saturday, bring your lightly worn office wear to Vincent and they'll reward you with a discount on any purchases you make.
Here's how it works:
step 1: cleanse your closet
2. before you donate, ask yourself...
“Would I wear these clothes to a professional job interview?”
“Would I hire someone wearing these clothes to a professional job interview?”
Dress for Success has very limited storage space and they want to give our clients the very best work-appropriate clothing possible, so they ask that you carefully review your clothing to help them meet the needs of the wonderful women they serve.
