"My Sister's Closet"

Today, I am linking up with "The Pleated Poppy" for "What I Wore Wednesday".
Each Thursday, I attend a local Bible study - hosted by a church here in our area. From time to time, they will announce upcoming events and invite all of us to attend. They recently hosted a women's event called "My Sister's Closet".

For days leading up to the event, donations of clothing, shoes, jewelry, other accessories, etc. were accepted. For those interested in attending the event, a sign-up sheet was made available. Attendees chose an hour-long time slot in which to shop, and arrived at their chosen time ready to go!

Each woman in attendance was allowed to choose a certain number of items for free! What a fun Girl's Night Out! Well, I had my kids with me, but next year, I plan to make other arrangements. ;-)

When I arrived, I was told that I could choose 15 clothing items, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 pieces of jewelry, 1 purse, and 1 other accessory. What a ministry to those in attendance who may have been in need. What a ministry to gals who just wanted to come and have fun! What is more fun than shopping for free?!

I have been working hard to clean out closets, simplify, scale down, etc. So, I did not take full advantage of what I was allowed to snag, but I did find a few things that I was really excited about taking home.

I especially loved the jewelry items that I found:
 
Check out these casual earrings!
I have already worn them 100 times.

I also love this bracelet!
It speaks to the prissy, girly side of me.
 
If you are looking for a fun and fresh way to encourage the women around you, consider hosting an event like this! It really is a lot of fun~
