I Don't Like Structure & Cinderella

So, I guess I don't like structure. I've been very reluctant to blog and then had blog guilt. This phenomenon was also described by Laura at Shortcake Stamps. So, I thought instead I will just write what I please when I please.

Anyway, I had to post about something that caught my eye. As I was making the 5th or 6th pass through my closet to continue the decluttering of my life I was thinking what can I do with these bridesmaid dresses? Many of them cost 100's of dollars and are very nice dresses, but just not my taste. So, in my research, I came across this organization called the Glass Slipper Project (http://www.glassslipperproject.org/). They take donations of gently used formal dresses and try to match them with prom-going high school students in Chicago who may not be able to afford them. I think I'll give that a try...

That's a great thing to do with them! I think my closet could use a little decluttering! Glad to see you're blogging again!

That's a great idea...I always wanted to open up a formal-wear "library" that people could check-out dresses for special events. I had planned to name it "My Sister's Closet" ---I let go of that dream when I gave away all my formal dresses about two years ago.

Yay - a new post! I also have a couple of dresses I could donate. Let me know if they are accepting now b/c I thought they did not collect throughout the year.
