Dress for Success Phoenix is hosting its annual Shop for Success Designer Sale presented by AAA and SRP from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30, at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas, inside the Pavilion Tent.

This pop-up clothing boutique empowers the fashion-forward to make an impact on the community, while participating in a favorite pastime, shopping to benefit Dress for Success Phoenix, according to a press release.

The nonprofit organization empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. The organization is seeing an increased need for its services.

“We are facing the first global female recession due to COVID-19, and the facts are alarming,” said Lisa Doromal, Dress for Success Phoenix founder/CEO, in a release.

In September, 865,000 women dropped out of the U.S. workforce, a level not seen since 1988. Globally, nearly 70% of women who have experienced COVID-19-related disruptions are concerned about their ability to progress in their careers, the release said.

Dress for Success Phoenix has programs to help women overcome challenges for every phase of their personal or professional journey, whether they are a job seeker, an employed professional or someone ready to be a leader in their community.

Through first-in-class partnerships, Dress for Success Phoenix offers programs to ensure women are getting hired, promoted, receive raises, networking opportunities with other professional women, and gain control of their finances, the release noted.

The Shop for Success Designer Sale is free to attend and is open to the public. Sold for a fraction of retail prices, there will be “new and gently loved clothing and accessories including designer names,” noted the release, adding all proceeds from the Shop for Success Designer Sale benefit Dress for Success Phoenix.
