Suit-able Ladies

Clothing swap meets, op shops and eBay rock – all keeping better-quality items in circulation and in good homes. But, there comes a time in every girl’s life to clean out the wardrobe. To let stuff go, without expecting anything in return. Enter Fitted for Work. This little organisation redistributes your unwanted suits or work clothes, giving them to disadvantaged women entering the workforce. Along with clothing, volunteers equip jobseekers with interview and general presentation skills in order to build women’s self-confidence, leading to financial independence.

As well as donating clothes, you can donate time, which they’ll put to good use. And if you’re on the other side of a clean-out, and your wardrobe’s looking a bit skinny, go to their clothing sale: Sat 16 & Sun 17 Aug – 130 Barkly Street, Brunswick.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
