CW Story: Boutique Shopping On a Budget


Career Wardrobe Opens Its Closet To The Public

It's boutique shopping... on a budget!

"Everything is priced so that the average woman can come and shop and look like a million dollars," said Career Wardrobe Executive Director Sheri Cole.

Having helped over fifty-thousand low-income women in the past fifteen years, Career Wardrobe's latest goodwill project opens its closet doors to the public.

"We are seeing more and more women impacted by the down-turn of the economy," explained Cole.

"Not all of them need job training or a free outfit, but they do need a low cost alternative to department stores."

And come September 17, 2009, that's exactly what they'll get -- an impressive spread of new and gently used clothing, shoes and accessories starting at five dollars.

"We just went through and pulled the best of everything that's been donated to us throughout the year."

If you're into high fashion, check out the boutique's "designer room," where the most expensive items costs just sixty-dollars!

Not sure you want to shell out that kind of money? Keep in mind all proceeds go to support Career Wardrobe's mission to continue to serve women in need.

Now, that's fashion that makes you look and feel good.
