Fashion Forward

Hey everyone! This weekend I volunteered at a big fashion show! The exciting thing about this fashion show was it benefited a charity that stands for a great cause: Working Wardrobes! Working Wardrobes is a organization that provides business clothing to men, women, and young adults overcoming difficult challenges so they can confidently enter the workforce and achieve self-sufficiency. However, they don't stop there. They provide career training and job placement assistance as well to ensure these people have all the means necessary to successfully create a future.
One of the most exciting part of the fashion show was all the celebrities that attended! It is great to see so many people that support a great charity cause. The location was beautiful, and there were events going on throughout the entire day. There was a vendor boutique, fashion seminars, and three major fashion shows.
As a volunteer there were many things for us to do. We could work registration, give tours of the venue, or be a dresser for the fashion show. I tried to make the most of my volunteer time and worked in all three areas! My favorite part was being a dresser for the fashion show. Each one of the dressers had their own model who we had to quick change during the fashion show! My girl had 5 outfits, so we had to work extremely fast! It was crazy and hectic, but a great experience. It was awesome to see the outfits on the runway and know you helped make that possible. It was a fantastic event and I am so fortunate to have been a part of it!

Strutin' for Charity!

Hey everyone! This weekend was very exciting as I was in a fashion show! I walked the runway with 22 other 11th grade girls from neighboring high schools. We are all involved with a program called National Charity League that hosts this fashion show every year to raise money for 18 different charities. We raise about 30 thousand dollars to donate to the charities. Its an incredible experience, and its even better knowing we are doing it for a great cause. There were even 9 high school junior boys in it as well who brought some spunk to the show!

In addition to this show, we do lots of community service for these 18 charities throughout the year. This includes delivering meals to senior citizens, helping teach children with disabilities, and serving meals to homeless families. Although it's a lot of hard work, each experience is worth it knowing the good I am doing for the community.
