Fashion Talk #2

The Photographer stayed home, too sick to get out of bed, so Stella put her hand up to be offical photographer on the night.
Needless to say, at 8, her photographic skills, combined with my little (lousy) digital camera were never going to produce images at Dans level.

I do like this one where she has captured that grin of Elizas, which at 16 we don't seem to see alot of these days.

After editing out the ones with my mouth open (of which there were a lot!), close ups of buttons, my boots, backs of heads and some that were unrecognisable, this is what is left.

A shame as there was a significant crowd, more than last, not bad for word of mouth. I can report that it was another great night with comments written on the evaluation sheets like

Inventive
Exceptional
Inspiring
& better than expected.

I do need to work on presentation as I did talk for an hour and half, which was too long. There is so much to take in that I think it can be overwhelming for some.
This time I did mingle more with the girls after the talk advising on what could be done with their garment choices, which I enjoyed and I know they all appreciated.
The Store did well, taking more in an hour than they do in a day...again!

A big thankyou to Jo - she took charge of meeting & greeting, ticking off names & keeping Stella busy which allowed me the freedom to focus on the Talk. Also my apologies to the RE-inventors in the audience, for not getting them to stand up for show-&-tell!

~*~ the FASHION TALK ~*~

The first ever
'REinventing Fashion Talk'
in an Op Shop 

drew quite a crowd...

I was so nervous 
and trying hard not to think about talking about myself (so I didn't)

knowing that once I got started talking about the clothes...

they'd have to drag me out of there!

Eliza was a star...

as were Eleanor & Laine

and thankyou to everyone that came along thinking RE-inventing was worth finding out about
and to my RE-inventors for their support

I gathered from the response & interest shown after the talk that

no one left disappointed

least of all the Salvos Store
 they sold as much in 2hrs as they would in a whole day!

It was worthwhile on many levels for many reasons
so we're doing it again!
