Good Deeds 2012 Week 9: Dress For Success

 

Good Deed: Donated a handbag to Dress For Success. 

Last night I went to the Sassy Moms in the City Go Red event and it gave me the opportunity to do a good deed. Win/win, right?!?! They asked guests to bring handbags or shoes to donate to Dress For Success. I did a mass overhaul of my purses and dress shoes last spring when I had to merge my closet with Matt's and move W into the guest room. It was painful, but forced me to get rid of a ton of old purses and shoes. (Read: a few boxes full of shoes and purses.)

So, since I just cleaned house, I wasn't sure what I'd be able to part with. I was confident that I had kept only purses and dress shoes that I actually used. Except for a purse that I bought years ago at a Brooks Brothers outlet store and have used maybe five times. Brooks Brothers is basically a place that people go to dress for success, right? So, I passed the purse on to someone who needs it. (Lesson learned: When you think you've spring cleaned, there is always one more thing that can go!)

The mission of Dress for Success is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
