Last night I attended an event I look forward to every year: Housing Works Fashion for Action. I’m a huge supporter of Housing Works and their chain of thrift stores in NYC {remember my Balenciaga booties I scored from Buy the Bag?!}. Well, I don’t just love Housing Works for their fly, affordable fashion.
