“SHOP FOR SUCCESS” POP-UP AT PALM
BEACH OUTLETS
BENEFITS DRESS FOR SUCCESS PALM
BEACHES
(WEST PALM BEACH, FL- August,
2019) – “Shop for Success”, the annual
pop-up sale featuring fashion
bargains of up to 70% off designer and name
brand labels, is returning to the Palm Beach
Outlets, Thursday, October 3 – Sunday,
October 6. Now in its fifth year, the flash
retail experience benefits Dress for Success
Palm Beaches, the nonprofit that empowers women
to achieve economic independence by providing
not only head-to-toe workplace wardrobing, but
also courses and coaching to build self-esteem
and job readiness.
A ticketed VIP Preview Reception on Thursday,
October 3, 6-9 p.m., officially kicks off the
opening of the pop-up and is the perfect
opportunity for diehard fashionistas to enjoy an
advance shopping night with Champagne, hors
d’oeuvres and entertainment. Tickets for this
launch are limited; $45 for Early Birds who
register by September 20; $50 for all others.
Ticket purchase is online only at
https://dressforsuccesspalmbeaches. General
public shopping hours on the following
three days are Friday and
Saturday, 10 a.m. until
9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. until 7
p.m.
The “Shop for
Success” inventory is a who’s who of both
popular everyday wear and top-tier fashion
names, from Ann Taylor to Armani, Brooks
Brothers to Escada and Lilly Pulitzer to Tory
Burch. Some items are gently worn, some still
with original price tags. All were generously
donated to Dress for Success but don’t quite fit
the criteria the organization upholds for the
workplace attire that it provides to clients at
no cost. In addition to clothing in sizes petite
to plus, an array of accessories is offered
including shoes, handbags, jewelry, sunglasses,
belts and scarves. The pricing is by category.
So, for example, dresses are $12, suits $15,
skirts and shoes, $10. The deals found in the
pop-up’s “Couture Corner” are equally tempting,
with prices as low as $35 for items like
Ferragamo shoes, Chanel jackets or St. John
pants.
Stepping up to co-chair this year’s event for
the first time are DFSPB Board Directors Lori
Everett, director of human resources for Queen
of Pawns, and Karen Velez, principal of The
Velez Law Firm, P.A. They’ve recruited more than
100
volunteers who will be helping
throughout the four-day event as sales
associates, dressing room attendants, and
cashiers.
Palm Beach Outlets each year
provides the temporary space occupied by “Shop
for Success” as an in-kind contribution,
utilizing an empty storefront. Good Greek Moving
and Storage is another generous partner,
transporting the merchandise pro bono for DFSPB.
