AD: Something old, something new.

Been wanting to shop for a good cause? Here's you chance!

Something old, something new (SOSN) is a social enterprise under the umbrella of Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS). Be prepared to find both pre-loved and also new conditioned clothing  as low as $2.00, that's not all, they do have accessories, shoes and bags too! I received 2 outfits from them a few weeks back, and I'm amazed that I can get such good quality dresses from a thrift store! thumbs up ;) 

Here's an outfit I have received.

      
Absolutely in love with the lace.
It feels as good as new, and so comfortable! thank you SOSN :) 


Here's a little more about SOSN:
   -  SOSN has a business concept of a thrift shop whereby SOSN receives donated items, whether new or used, from the public.
 - The social cause of SOSN is to provide employment opportunities for members with psychiatric disabilities which assists them in their journey towards long-term recovery. SOSN, started in 2000, is now run by full-time staff, volunteers and psychiatric members of Simei Care Centre. 
  - The sale proceeds will be channeled back to Simei Care Centre to support the psychiatric rehabilitation services and workshops that are beneficial to our clients. 
   - The weblink to this organisation is http://sosn.sg/index.html.

Now's your turn! SOSN will be holding their annual Flea Market event on 29th March 2014,
and guess what, not only can you shop for beautiful clothes, do a good deed, there will be a lineup of very exciting performances, including hip hop and K-pop dance performances, NUS Kent Ridge Hall house band, Ocarina (music) performance, Song items by a former Campus Superstar contestant, Balloon sculpting, and a Zumba performance which you can participate in as well. The highlight of the day - you get to witness many beauty bloggers walking down the fashion runway! 
 
Unfortunately due to work commitments, I do not have such blessing to be able there to witness all these, but I sure hope you guys can give your support to the people who worked very hard for this event, just to help those with mental illnesses in their rehabilitation.  :')  
I really wish I could be there!
Remember to mark your calendars for this meaningful day :)
