Hello everyone!

I'm taking part in Dare to Wear Day on 30 March 2012, so I asked some friends and family what they would dare me to wear and (oddly) the majority voted for my old school uniform?!  Yes, the real thing.  I'll be dusting off that Santa Sabina ankle-length, green and navy tartan kilt, green v neck jumper, white shirt, tie and green woollen knee-high socks.  I'll be wearing the whole lot, all day - on the tram to work, in the office, to lunch, to meetings and out that night.  I'm doing it to raise funds for a not-for-profit organisation called Fitted for Work. I need your support and every bit helps!
 

So... some good reasons to part with some of your cash:

1.  Fitted for Work helps women experiencing disadvantage to find work and achieve financial independence.   It provides interview training, transition to work and mentoring programs as well as free secondhand business clothing.   The services it offers are very practical and really do make a difference.  The women who come to the organisation for help are from all walks of life.  Many are refugees from around the world who have come to Australia in search of a better future. Since 2005, Fitted for Work has helped transform the lives of over 6,500 women.

Seriously, I can’t believe you need another reason given how good the first one is… but other reasons are….

2. You like how ridiculous/embarrassing this sounds?

3. As an ex Santa Sabinite or convent school girl, you can empathise with how unbearably uncomfortable/hot/itchy I will be in the Melbourne heat?

4. You love me?     

5. You want to keep me in a job?

6. You find it ..um.. sexy? (unlikely)

Thanks a million for your support!  If you would like more information about the organisation and what I have been up to for the last few months, please read further below.
