November Staff Picks Spotlight
|
November Spotlight: Heather
-
Heather has worked at Two Big Blondes for three years now. Formerly a full-time employee, she moved to another position about a year ago, but just couldn’t quite quit us, so is now at the shop each Sunday.
"I would describe my sense of style as eclectic and formal in nature, mostly a combination of Trendy, Classic, and Vintage inspired. I have loved fashion from a young girl flipping the glossy pages of fashion magazines, to the woman I am today. I love fashion in movement, whether the fierce walkers of runways, or dancers/ice skaters. I also love the power and confidence that fashion inspires, allowing each of us the ability to express our own unique beauty. Long live, beauty, fashion, love, glamour.
For my staff picks this month I chose lush & sparkly fabrics for the season. Enjoy the variety of colors that match our winter & holiday moods!
Fashion tip
: I highly recommend finding a silhouette that works for your body shape. Once found you can mix & match fabrics & patterns for a variety of looks, but will have a confidence in the shape of the clothing. A great way to test how certain silhouettes looks on you is to take a selfie, which can be more accurate reflection than what you see in the mirror. I used this just the other day!"

November Consignment
No consignment November 25th - December 9th due to sale.
|
|
In November & December we'll continue taking fall and are now taking winter pieces, including winter coats & rain jackets; 100% wool & cashmere items; genuine & faux fur; snow wear; holiday special occasion attire including heavily beaded/sequined & velvet pieces & winter holiday-themed attire such as "ugly" Christmas sweaters.
We have been VERY busy with consignment this fall. In fact this whole year the Marie Kondo / minimalist movement has meant more consignment & donations than ever. While we're very excited to have so many wonderful items to choose from, we are also trying to keep a balance inventory and time to enter all the new items. Please understand that we sometimes turn away items that have nothing "wrong" with them, we're only able to take what we feel is most likely to sell and evens out our inventory needs.
We are currently booked for appointments of 30 or more items until early January. Please review your items before bringing them in to make sure they are clean, gently used and are seasonally appropriate.
For us to be able to take more items, we need to sell more of what we have! Please bring your friends & refer more people! See our Friendsgiving promotion above for a special bonus when you bring in a new customer in November. Also check out the BOGO 50% on jewelry coupon below!
We will not take any consignment November 25th - December 9th due to our storewide sale in early December and holiday closures (see all listed below).

Coat Drive Supporting SWAF
|
The holiday season is a time of giving - to our loved ones and also our community. Throughout the year Two Big Blondes is able to donate free clothing to homeless and low-income Seattle area residents through the donations of consignors. The joy and appreciate we receive from SWAF clients is a great experience every week!
During the winter, most clients are in need of warm and waterproof coats, but the clothing being donated has often come in throughout the summer. Bring in coats that you no longer wear but don't want to consign, so we can continue our annual coat drive. We are especially in need of coats size 24 & up.
In addition we've been able to provide toiletries to all of our clients through donations from you all! Current needs include toothbrushes, razors, deodorant, tissues, feminine supplies and perfumes.
All donors to SWAF in November & December will be entered in our raffle drawing for two $25 and one $50 Two Big Blondes gift certificate! Drawing will occur the first week of January 2020. Thank you for your year-round support!!

Supporting Midwives for Haiti
|
|
While I generally keep activities at the store focused on our surrounding communities, I have a special place in my heart for organizations supporting global maternal health. During my youngest daughter's birth, I experienced postpartum
hemorrhaging
caused by an uterine artery tear that would have certainly lead to my death if I hadn't been so close to expert emergency care at Harborview. My doula during this birth was Jane Drichta, who has continued to dedicate her career to improving maternal outcomes locally and globally through her work as a midwife and trainer at
Shanti Uganda
, co-founder of the
Global Motherhood Initiative
in Iraq, Executive Director of
Midwives for Haiti
, as well as author of
The Essential Homebirth Guide
.
Currently Haiti has been embroiled in severe political unrest, causing shortages in medical supplies and difficulty providing proper services for those in need. On Saturday, November 16th we will be joined by Midwives for Haiti's executive director Jane Drichta who will be sharing news and ways to help. She'll have several lovely baskets available for silent auction, and refreshments will be available for purchase. Please read more about the organization and our special event here:
https://twobigblondes.com/special-event-for-midwives-for-haiti/
In addition, 10% of the proceeds from sales made that day will be donated to Midwives for Haiti.
