A typical day....
Usually a typical day includes styling a few women who have made appointments with us - so they have an outfit for an interview or some mix & match pieces for a new job. To do this we sort through our racks of donations of career clothing to find & give the ladies clothing, shoes, bag, accessories which will suit their work roles.
We also have make up ladies on hand who can do their face & their grooming to perfection. Finally we do a mock interview with the ladies to make sure they can answer questions confidently and with poise.
Today however was different. On the last Friday of every month, the boutique of career clothing undergoes a metamorphisis. The career clothing is packed up and the non career clothing is placed on the racks for a sale - we call it "Market Day". So we spend time on the Thursday prior doing the switch over.
What do we sell on Market Day?
The non career clothing/accessories comprise all the donations which were not work appropriate - the trendy funky items, the casual wear, evening wear, denim and anything else that wasnt business appropriate.
Today we had 5 volunteers who tag teamed beautifully to do the switch.
Some of us also did flyer drops in the Parramatta area advertising the sale.
The end result was very effective - we arranged a terrific set up & the Market Day store looked gorgeous. Everything was ready for Friday.
But silly me, was so pooped by the end of the day that I forgot to take photos. So I am planning to drop in tomorrow (Friday) to take some snaps & perhaps pick up an item or three...since the proceeds are for charity, it's guilt free shopping.
