Giving Back To The Community
Smitten With Style gives back to the community via Suited For Work (www.sfw.org.au). SFW supports women experiencing difficulties in achieving self-sufficiency and financial independence. Part of this support is in assisting disadvantaged women in the community with appropriate clothing and styling advice for a range of situations where formal attire is required, for example job interviews.
As part of the wardrobe consultations that we conduct, we identify items that should be given away or donated (for example clothing that is too big/small). Smitten With Style invests our time by taking away your unwanted clothing, pooling it with clothing and accessories from our other clients and then “styling” the clothing into a whole, complete outfits to be donated to SFW on a quarterly basis.
