The Limited Turns 50 and Partners with Dress for Success

Remember The Limited?  That was our fave store in the '80s. We can still see the oversized white silk blouse we wore with a cropped black Bolero jacket (don't judge, it was the '80s), and the leather Forenza bomber jacket with patches that we hope is still hanging in our parent's closet somewhere.

Well, The Limited is kicking off its 50th anniversary with a special campaign to support Dress for Success, a nonprofit organization with affiliate offices in more than 125 cities throughout the U.S. that offers professional apparel, a network of support and career development tools to women who are entering or re-entering the workforce.

Here's how Everything She Wants' readers can help, too.  The Limited invites its customers to share success stories, life lessons and great moments in their lives--whether it's personal or professional--with others who can learn from their wisdom. Submissions are being accepted at thelimited.com/50th.

The company will donate $1 to Dress for Success for every submission, up to $50,000. Additionally, The Limited is donating 30% of the proceeds to the organization from a limited edition clutch purse and commemorative bracelet that will debut this fall.

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller).
