Worcester Is MAJOR!™: Dress for Success pt. 2

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day to be outside enjoying the spring-like weather and maybe doing some yard work or playing outside with the kids.

For me, the day began as it typically does, a few cups of Cafe Bustelo coffee, and a quick scan of the Worcester websites & blogs-- Wormtowntaxi.com, Telegram.com, DailyWorcesteria.com and Boston.com, just to make sure Beacon Hill was safe.

Once the Al Gore-like check of the Internet was completed, I then ventured out to run a few errands and catch-up with some folks who have been asking to meet face-to-face so that we can get to know one another. Once the missions were completed, it was time for the FUN to begin!

Good people are always drawn to other GREAT people and such is the case with Kaly Sullivan, Boutique Coordinator, for Dress for Success Worcester. You may have read my St. Patrick's Day post about the upcoming Dress for Success sale that took place on Saturday from 12 pm to 2 pm, where everything in the boutique was priced at $5. Yes, every item was $5!

I arrived around 12:30 pm and the boutique was bustling with activity, energy and an eclectic mix of music playing over the stereo system. (I heard Jahiem "Fabulous" and Coldplay "Viva La Vida", to name a few.)

On more than one occasion, I overheard women commenting that they couldn't believe that a particular dress, blouse or pants were, "ONLY $5?". The women were having a good time and, in some cases, three-generations of families were shopping and purchasing clothes not only for themselves but for friends and relatives.

I'm sure when I speak to Kaly about the remainder of the day, she'll have nothing but positive things to say, but as a first-hand witness, it was a GREAT day and GREAT people showed up and got some GREAT clothing.
