DRESS FOR SUCCESS
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you ‘DRESS FOR SUCCESS’. Dress For Success is our way of joining the fight to empower women across Nigeria. Over the years, researchers and psychologists alike have established a link between how we feel about ourselves and our outward appearance.
This link has been termed enclothed cognition. Enclothed cognition describes the systematic influence that clothes have on the wearer’s psychological processes. It involves the co-occurance of two independent factors- the symbolic meaning of the clothes and the physical experience of wearing them. Best selling books like John T. Molloy’s Dress For Success highlight how looking good on the outside increases one’s over-all sense of self worth or personal value and in turn affects people’s reactions and perceptions of us. What we want to do at Leila Fowler is to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged women that are or have gone through tragedies and trying times or women that are simply just trying to chart their path in life. Our mission is a simple one, to promote confidence in disadvantaged women one outfit at a time.
We hope that one day Leila Fowler Nigeria Limited would be a recognizable retail brand in the Nigerian retail industry, and in keeping in line with that goal we are well aware of the importance of giving back to our community.
We however cannot do this without your help. In order for us to complete the set up of this facility we need the donation of your gently used clothes. DRESS FOR SUCCESS is located at Number 215B Etim Inyang Crescent Victoria Island Lagos.
Our aim is for this boutique to be a place where women can benefit from your charitable contributions and for that purpose beneficiaries of the program are not charged for the clothing.
By working hand in hand with other women’s organizations we are able to come in contact with women in need of your donations. We look forward to our boutique up and running, and seeing the joy on the faces of the women we help.
