    Suited for Change was fortunate to be included in a wonderful event sponsored by our corporate sponsor, Bloomingdale's, with the help of Women in White Collar and Beyond. Women in White Collar and Beyond is an organization of professional women attorneys which supports and champions women in the law, while maintaining a commitment to supporting pro bono work and helping the underprivileged. All those in attendance at this special fashion show were encouraged to provide a donation of business attire or shoes for our Suited for Change clients in order to receive a $25 gift card from Bloomingdale's. We had a fabulous turnout and so many generous donations to our Suited for Change clients!! Thank you, Bloomingdale's and Women in White Collar and Beyond, for your continuing support in our mission to empower women as they interview for jobs and enter the workplace!! #BloomingdalesforSuitedforChange #SuitedforChange #WomeninWhiteCollar #FashionforGood

    Meet Angela and Nairobi! We recently had the pleasure of styling Nairobi and Angela, both new to Suited for Change, from our referral partner House of Ruth. Angela had just started a new position and needed work attire. She loved her styling session and her stylist Harshini - and expressed her happiness as she “got the job!” Nairobi was preparing for a job interview and loved the professional styling session and the confidence it gave her when she saw herself dressed and ready to go! She beamed when she saw herself depicted from head to toe, and felt more than ready for her job interview, thanks to her session at Suited for Change! Thank you House of Ruth for the referrals AND for the recent Community Partner award! Can you tell that we love what we do every day? #HouseofRuth #SuitedforChange #EmpoweringWomen

    Meet Evera and Annette! Evera Got the Job! She came to see us and loved the confidence she gained from her new work outfits and her personal styling session. Evera felt ready for anything, thanks to the work we do at Suited for Change. Annette had an interview and also loved her styling session. She took one look at herself in red and beamed, saying “I look like I could be the President!” We love what we do at Suited for Change, empowering women to feel their best on their journey to success. ❤️

    Janelle got the job! Yay! We are so very excited for her and are cheering her on from the sidelines as she begins this exciting new position. ❤ At her first appointment, Janelle was able to find the perfect blazer to wear on her interview day. We were so excited to welcome her back into the boutique to find a few more outfits now that she has secured the job! It is so special to hear our client’s stories and they truly are at the heart and soul of what we do here at Suited for Change. We are so grateful to get to work with such inspirational women each and every day. Good luck, Janelle, and to all of the amazing clients we have the pleasure of getting to know! We are so lucky to be a part of your journey.✨
