“Give Confidence Hope Style”
These words really resonate with me as I read about O, The Oprah Magazine’s limited edition capsule collection at Talbots that benefits one of my favorite charities, Dress for Success. Dress For Success is an international non-profit that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing support, development tools, and professional attire to help women thrive in the workplace.
Especially because today we honor and support women’s contributions to our society and economy (today is International Women’s Day), I thought that this collaboration was particularly important to share. With 30% of the net proceeds from the O capsule collection at Talbot’s going directly to empower women reentering the workforce, you can make a powerful contribution with your shopping dollars. We all can understand the confidence a new look can inspire, and this seemingly small contribution can be a huge first step for many women returning to work and embarking on the journey to become self sufficient.
O, The Oprah Magazine Collection for Talbots
Now let’s talk style, because this collection has plenty to offer! Designed in partnership with the Creative Director of O Magazine; the collection offers a fun, modern twist to classic styles. Items include a cheerful, mixed print silk scar, a nautical-inspired knit vest, and chic, French-girl mules (all of these are on my wish list!).
And, most importantly, last year’s capsule collection helped over 20,000 women (after raising over $1 million dollars)! This year we have the opportunity to help even more as the collection hit stores nationwide, including Bellevue Square, on February 21st.
Ways You Can Get Involved:
- Shop the collection in-stores or online
- Donate monetarily in-stores or online at tabots.com/dressforsuccess through April 2nd
- Donate gently-used professional attire or volunteer your time at your local Dress for Success affiliate
It is impossible for me to imagine “A Day Without a Woman” as many celebrate International Women’s Day…but that’s the point, right? To all of you marching today, to all of your volunteering today, to all of you working today, to all of you parenting today; I am so proud of all of us. Women supporting women is a very powerful thing. Thank you for your support and for reading, shopping, and dreaming with me. ~Jenn
Is your spring wardrobe mocking you as it hangs in your closet?? Or have you already scored a couple of spring updates that you’re dying to wear? Layering is a simple solution that allows you to don your spring clothes even if the weather isn’t agreeing with your outfit choices.
A couple of things to consider when layering:
You know how I love a good sale?! And the Shopbop sale never disappoints! Mainly because it’s not a winter clearance (I, for one, am SO over winter!) but a percentage off their entire site (including sale and full-price items). Use code “GOBIG17” to save up to 25% off…hurry, prices go up March 5th at 12:00 am PT.
