BrocktonPostBROCKTON--Sunday, Jan. 30 Brockton area fashionistas will head to Tamboo Bistro for the second "Cosmos & Couture" high-end, lightly-used clothing swap.
The event has been organized by the so-called "Trio of Bandits," three women who work and live in the Brockton area, Raena Camacho, Shayna Barnes and Anne Marie Belrose.
"A Trio of Bandits is thrilled to be hosting its second Cosmos & Couture event, 'New Year, New You,'" said Anne Marie Belrose. “It's a great opportunity to shake off the winter blues, get dressed up, have a great time with your friends, and recharge your wardrobe," she added.
This season's event takes place Sunday, Jan. 30 at Tamboo Restaurant, 252 Main St., from 5 to 9 p.m.
The price of admission is at least one article of clothing that can be swapped. Attendees will also receive a ticket for one free Cosmopolitan mixed drink and chances at gift certificates and other prizes.
Participants--who will have a red carpet to walk on only it will be inside unlike the first event in July when it was outside--are asked to bring high end, lightly used items of clothing, whether they be dresses, pants, suits, belts, shoes, socks or jewelry, that would be suitable for women and men to wear in job interviews or work.
Donations from Sunday's event will be made to Penelope's Place, a women's shelter that provides services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
“It’s important to feel and look good during a job interview. We want to give these women the tools they need to feel fabulous and at the same time make life easier, so that they can make decisions, and begin to take control of their lives,” said co-organizer Raena Camacho.
All are invited and should arrive with clothing to swap and a party attitude.
