"I&amp;#x27;ve shared my love of Housingworks with all of you before, and hard to believe, but it just grew--ten fold! Just check out these party dresses that I found there and you&amp;#x27;ll see why!I&amp;#x27;m hosting a night of shopping with the amazing Housingworks team on December 2nd here in NYC, and for the past few weeks, I&amp;#x27;ve been pulling together a collection of party dresses that will be sold at the event---and, lucky for all you non-New Yorkers, online as well! Just last week, I went to their donation warehouse to check out what all of the clothing contributions they&amp;#x27;ve collected and to pick out a few of my faves. There were mountains of garbage bags filled with absolutely divine clothing (think Marc Jacobs, Valentino, Naeem Khan, Pucci, YSL, Balenciaga, DVF--you name it, it was there), so I sorted through the good, the bad, and even the future rags. Look at how many bags of dresses there were! It&amp;#x27;s hard to believe there were so many treasures in piles and piles of garbage bags, so I picked out a few of my faves. From left, Oleg Cassini, Pucci, Jovani, and Pamela Dennis. And I couldn&amp;#x27;t resist...everything (even in a warehouse) looks better with a few styling adjustments! Ok, I really couldn&amp;#x27;t resist. I loved them so much they came back to Glamour with me, so you could all see how great they look on actual women! Like what you see? You&amp;#x27;ll like this even more: Everything that I&amp;#x27;m collecting to sell will be sold in the range of $30-$150, with the proceeds benefitting Housingworks&amp;#x27; life-saving services for low-income and homeless New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. Insane, right? Oh, and don&amp;#x27;t worry about the pieces that won&amp;#x27;t be sold (a.k.a the &amp;quot;rags&amp;quot;) as they won&amp;#x27;t go to waste! They&amp;#x27;ll be recycled or donated to another charity. If you want to see (and buy) more of my faves click here. And, after the event is over, I&amp;#x27;m going to choose 30 dresses that weren&amp;#x27;t sold at the event that will be available for all of you to buy. Nothing like the charitable holiday spirt! So, what are you planning to wear to your festive parties? Keep checking back as I&amp;#x27;ll be posting more of my favorite Housingworks finds for your holiday inspiration! Maybe you&amp;#x27;ll end up wearing one of them!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
