Almost TWO years ago - my BEAUTIFUL friend, Christie got married - a fabulously hooplatastic wedding at THE RITZ in Philly! Wowsa! I had this gorgeous bridesmaid's dress that I have kept in my closet thinking maybe one day and really do you want to toss $250 bucks in the trash? And NO MATTER what the bride says (Les) you can't cut that purple taffeta dress off and wear it to a party - or the chocolate chiffon with fish tails - So I was spring cleaning and decided it's time - I took it to the DREAM center closet at church (thinking prom dress) As we were unloading the entire back of my car (I LOVE to get rid of clothes - bye bye diesel jeans I will NEVER fit in again) THIS is what happens!
I said "there's a bridesmaids dress in there"
girl said " don't tell me it's chocolate brown"
I say "sure is"
girl say " I am getting married in October and need just ONE dress"
I say " it's a size ____ "(insert guess here - not really - no comments guessing!)
she say " OMGravy - that's what size she wears"
So out of the closet it goes - into her office! LOVE IT!

How awesome that it was just what she needed!
Love it when that happens.
So sweet! Glad you donated to the Dream Center! Worthy cause!
That is so cool - don't you love it when someone is really blessed by something you did?
Its fashion karma...What a way to end the week :)
That was definitely a God thing :)
Hello! I just found your blog, it's very cute.
Thanks for saying "hi" on my blog! It's so nice to "meet" you! You have a VERY beautiful blog. What gorgeous clothes you sell! If I lived closer to you I'd be in BIG trouble, but Isabella would look so cute!
Have a wonderful day,
Stacy (in Guatemala)
How great did that work out? My word..... I love getting rid of clothes too, but only if I get smaller and the clothes are too big! How often does that happen?
NEVER.
What perfect timing! God is so cool, I wish we could take notice of that stuff more often. Congrats on cleaning out. If I were just 10 lbs lighter, I would have directed you to the Wright family drop off!
How great is that - I think it's not just a coincidence!
You may have just inspired me to get rid of my bridesmaids dresses. You are right, I am never going to wear them!!
That is so awesome you were able to give your dress to someone who needed it. I've got 2 in my closet that I can't just throw away yet I will never wear them again. Oh well. Looked like it was a fun wedding!
fabulous!such a great place to donate ;-) look at you being a vessel for the Lords work!
oh- and if you have any more designer jeans you need to get rid of- the page house would also be a good place to donate..
What a great story! It was definitely meant to be . . . and was just the right time to get rid of the dress.
Have a great week!
