Dress for Success: Rock Your Red Fashion Show

So, for the past few months I've been posting info on the Dress for Success Rock Your Red Fashion Show, I attended the event last week and was really amazed by the mission of this organization. As I had stated in previous post Dress for Success is an organization that provides professional attire to women looking to get back into the workforce. During the fashion show one of the recipients of such services actually spoke to the audience, and explained how Dress for Success assisted her by providing her with a beautiful suit and apparel to interview with when trying to make her way back into the working world! I was really touched by her sincere appreciation for the role that Dress for Success played in helping her get back into the work force! I also got a chance to meet the event organizers and other key players with the Dress for Success organization, they're some absolutely amazing women that encompass such a genuine and compassionate spirit for what they do. Here are a some pictures and special moments that I captured during the Rock Your Red Fashion Show!

Was greeted with the program and a bottle of OPI polish

This was during a segment in which the ladies were modeling some not so professional attire that had been donated to Dress for Success. (I thought this was a really fun segment)

A client of Dress for Success sharing her story of how the organization assisted her in making her way back into the workforce.

So mad this picture came out blurry but these are some powerful business women in RVA, there's Marshe from Rumors Boutique (2nd to the right)  and Ranee Kamens of Simplify Me (2nd to the left)
