Have plans for this Friday, September 21st? If you're in the Lexington area, come out to one of my favorite events: Dress for Success Recycle the Runway. If you're a fan of Project Runway's unconventional items challenges (or just like clothes in general), you'll love this event.

Brand Spotlight: NY Collection at Macy’s
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Macy's. All opinions are 100% mine.
