While prepping for the next holiday mixer, pull out a few (or several) garments for the charitable donations box.
Our tastes change over time, not to mention our body shape (sorry)!
Rather than hang on to clothes we may (never) wear “someday”, think about donating those items to make room for the ones that you reach for time after time because they truly fit and flatter.
It’s quite eye-opening when we consider that 20% of our wardrobe is worn 80% of the time. How about reversing that percentage: retain what you love and release what you don’t. It will shed clarity on your actual clothing options!
In fact, it’s not uncommon to hang on to corporate attire long after the dress code has relaxed or you yourself have exited the job.
Donating to an organization focused on those entering the workforce with little funds for new duds would be an awesome gesture! One such charity committed to helping disadvantaged female professionals is Dress For Success.
If you can spare some time, there is also a strong need for volunteers to counsel those building a new business. Share your corporate wisdom with others through Score, a network of volunteer mentors for new small business owners.
Help others climb the corporate ladder and achieve financial security!
