Shop Goodwill for Holiday Goodies

#ShopGoodwill for Holiday Goodies

 

The holiday season is in full swing which means there are lots of parties, school plays, festive decorations and family gatherings. It can be overwhelming both to your schedule and to your budget and if you are anything like me, purchasing a new dress or complete outfit for a single event is out of the question.

Making a purchase from Goodwill not only helps your budget but it also helps to fund job creation in your community and donating to a local Goodwill provides a wonderful opportunity to give back and declutter your closets.   

I stopped in at a local Goodwill in search of an outfit for a house party that hubby and I will be attending next week.  I found a few pieces, and I liked the Ralph Lauren Cocktail Dress the best, which one do you like?
