12 May I’m Taking My Thrift & Style Events on the Road. Where Should I Go?
If you subscribe to my newsletter, you read yesterday that I’m taking my Ready, Set, Thrift! and styling events on the road! Unless you’re in NYC, you’ve never had a chance to meet me up close and personal and enjoy one of my thrift shopping parties or clothing swaps. Well, it’s time to change that. One of my major goals for 2014 and 2015 is to seriously ramp up my event hosting and spreading the message that “your style is never determined by your wallet” to as many men, women and kids as possible.
I’m hitting additional cities with my thrift and affordable style events, but I want to hear from you first.
My last Ready, Set, Thrift! event was just a few weeks ago at Housing Works and we had a blast. With interactive scavenger hunts and auctions, shoppers had a chance to score serious designer goods. And I was on hand to offer up styling advice.
I asked my newsletter subscribers where they think I should head for events this summer and fall. A few preliminary responses: DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Chicago, New Haven, Connecticut, Fort Wayne, Indiana and York County, Maine.
Of course I want to know what you think!
- What city do you live in and where should I bring Ready, Set, Thrift!?
- Are you near a college town where you think I should host affordable style clinics for undergrads or recent graduates?
- Is there a specific event you want me to host in your area and/or for your organization?
Thrift shopping is my passion, so it’s only natural I host more Ready, Set, Thrift! parties, but I’m also expanding to in-store styling and helping people develop their sense of style {graduates transitioning into the professional world, professionals seeking wardrobe staples on a budget, etc.}.
Sound off below in the comments or you can always drop me an email: Patrice {at} LookingFlyonaDime {dotcom}. Or use the contact page above to let me know what you think.
Before I solidify any dates and details, I really want you guys to weigh in. I’m so excited to spread the Looking Fly on a Dime® motto to people everyone and help them develop an individual style on a shoestring budget.
