What an interesting time we are living in. I think a good portion of us are approaching our first full week of social distancing. It goes without saying that I miss those social interactions. Words cannot express how thankful I am that my husband gets to work from home, but there’s no substitute for meeting new people. I think the best way to fill that void is to find something truly meaningful to fill the time. For starters, why not support a charity that means a lot to you?
Talbots and Oprah Magazine have joined forces to collaborate with Dress for Success (DFS). Founded in 1997, DFS is a non-profit that empowers women to achieve economic independence. Since we don’t know what the job market will be like when this pandemic is in our rear-view mirror, this charity is more important than ever. Here are a few quick ways to help support such an amazing cause.
Buy a Cardigan for a Cause
I know it seems so silly to be thinking about clothes at a time like this, but I love the idea of shopping for the future. When we get back to our normal lives, I want to have a new outfit to celebrate! The Talbots x O Mag Collection currently has four fun cardigans to choose from. You can either wear them now, to stay cozy at home, or later in the work place. No matter the sweater you choose, 30% of the net proceeds will benefit Dress for Success.
Clear Out Your Closet
I know with social distancing, finishing some Spring cleaning is at the top of our to-do lists! Start with your closets and take a good look at what work clothes you don’t wear any more. Dress for Success has locations all around the country (and world) happy to accept career appropriate clothing and shoes. They will also take accessories and unopened cosmetics.

Join Your Local Affiliate
If you want to become even more involved in this cause, you can become active with your city’s local affiliate. They have a whole plethora of volunteer opportunities. Both large and small, they are all extremely important to helping women find economic independence. DFS can be found in 150 cities and 25 countries, but if there isn’t one in your area, there is an option to start your own local affiliate.
