Story
We all have an outfit were looking forward to wearing when our social calendars resume; whether its a new dress bought for a now-postponed event, or an outfit already hanging in our wardrobes that makes us feel incredible whenever worn. Whatever it is, we want to see it!
Were inviting you to show with us The Outfit You Didn't Get To Wear due to lockdown and help us raise vital funds for Smart Works Edinburgh in the process. Simply take a new photo or repost an old one of yourself in your favourite outfit to social media, tag and follow us (this is important, otherwise we wont be able to see it!), challenge your friends to do the same, and, if youre in a position to do so, make a small donation to Smart Works Edinburgh. What impact will these donations have? A great one.
Smart Works Edinburgh is a charity which provides free, high-quality interview clothing and coaching to unemployed and women across Scotland, helping them build their confidence from within. 72% of the women we work with get a job within one month.
Clothing is powerful. Help us help more vulnerable women than ever before by joining our The Outfit You Didn't Get To Wear campaign. Here are instructions you can copy for your own social media posts:
1. Post a grid photo of you in your favourite outfit to Instagram or Facebook, and us know the story behind it.
2. Tag and follow @smartworksedinburgh and use the hashtag #theoutfityoudidntgettowear if you dont, they might not be able to see it!
3. Tag some friends and challenge them to do the same.
4. If you're in a position to do so, donate to Smart Works Edinburgh via the charity's JustGiving page. All proceeds go directly to Smart Works Edinburgh.
Well personally read all of your entries, and one will be in with the with the chance to receive a luxury leather bag from our supporter, Sarah Haran.
Don't fancy sharing a photograph? No problem! You can still make a huge difference to Smart Works Edinburgh by making a standalone donation via the same JustGiving link.
