and this little bird looks like it might just fly away.
Vintage shoppers and collectors will find some remarkable hats at this year's Glitter Sale. These vintage hats, made of soft velvet and with a ball and bird topper respectively are from the 1940's. You'll find more vintage and retro hats in amazing colors and styles as well.
This sleeveless V-neck, in siren red, is short and flirty.
This peach chiffon with big bell sleeves is long and flowing
And va-va-va-voom! This stunning white gown with gold bead detail on the bodice is a head-turner!
First time Glitter Sale shoppers tell us they never could have imagined the sheer quantity of dresses available at the sale. Or the variety. But, it's true. We have racks and racks short dresses and long gowns, hundreds of pieces in every size and style imaginable, grouped together by color, for shoppers to look through and linger over.

The Glitter Sale offers hundreds of holiday dresses in all shapes, colors and sizes. You'll find chiffon evening gowns, body-hugging knits, and velvet strapless numbers. My favorite, all-purpose outfit is the Little Black Dress. With a jeweled neck, a shapely bodice and a flowing skirt, this LBD does date night proud!
The Seattle Goodwill Glitter Gala (November 5) and Sale (November 14 & 15) are now on the horizon. Join us online for behind-the-scene happenings and a sneak peek of all things glitter!
First up, our Glitter Gala, a sparkling evening with an Oscar-worthy runway show. Right now, we're pulling merchandise, choosing accessories and bringing in models for "Fashion in Film", this year's exciting complement to that festive evening.
We can't share much more from this year's show with you--at least, not yet. But we can offer up last year's event, "Past, Present & Future," a look at fashion through the ages, in the video above.
You may find it hard to believe that all those marvelous fashions on the runway were available for purchase--at Goodwill's fabulously low prices--at the last year's Glitter Sale. And the same will hold true this year as well!
Don't miss "Fashion in Film" at this year's Glitter Gala. Gala tickets are $125 and can be reserved by phone at 206-583-8055 or online at www.seattlegoodwill.org/glitter. And remember, proceeds benefit Seattle Goodwill's job training and education programs in our community.
Tod's orange suede pumps. I love the double-stitching, the rickrack edging and the metal chain detail.
Orange suede Prada slip-ons. Utterly decadent!
Black buckle heels from Coach. Look at those grommets! What's your favorite shoe designer? I'll do some digging and see what I come up with!
