As I blogged about earlier, Saks and Dress for Success team up every year for a fabulous fashion show, and this year’s event took place on Sept. 19. My Cincy Chic team was there to see the fabulousity unfold and we were wowed yet again this year! Check out pics of some of our favorite looks and crowd shots!
Ok, ladies… we’ve all been there before… lots of clothes but nothing to wear? Here’s my secret for eliminating the stress of getting out the door on time, look fresh and fabulous, and support a local charity in the process! First, make Three Piles: donate, alter, and eBay!
Without a doubt my “donate” pile will be going to Dress for Success Cincinnati, to help empower women and give them the confidence they need to succeed. Gently used business attire can ultimately help women thrive in work and in life. Donations are always welcomed and encouraged! Click here to find out where you can drop off your donations! Remember, donating is tax deductible, good for the earth and makes room for a replenished wardrobe!

Thanks to my intern, Shannon Mahoney, for helping me put this blog together!
Get out and support Dress for Success this Thursday, April 11! From 6-8 p.m. you can hang out at Saks Fifth Avenue with Saks General Manager Kevin Shibely.
He’ll be toasting to Horseshoe Casino Senior Vice President and General Manager Kevin Kline during a cocktail reception.
At the event, you can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, live music, show girls and even some casino games – all coming to a night full of fun at Saks!
10% of the sales from the event will be donated to Dress for Success and the casino will match the Saks donation to the charity too!
For more information on the event or to RSVP, call Michelle Columbus at 513-421-6800 ext. 205 or email michelle_columbus@s5a.com!
