Rock the Dress...
If you recently got married I'm sure you have your gown sitting in your closet. It's sitting there starting to collect dust and maybe your daughter might wear it for her wedding day. If you were recently a bride's maid and bought the exact shade of chartreuse yellowish-green gown that your friend wanted you to buy, it is now sitting in your closet collecting dust ( I know you have a dress like that ).
I think another alternative is to do a "Rock the Dress" photo shoot. If you're not familiar let me explain to you the awesomeness of doing one of these shoots. Doing a "Rock the Dress" is the PERFECT excuse to get back in that dress, have an experience of getting your hair and makeup done and do an editorial themed shoot. Lets put some big jewelry on that maybe you normally wouldn't wear and pair it with some beautiful high heels ( that you probably also have laying around that you wear twice a year! ). We can do glamorous makeup up and some awesome hair to complete the look. Bring friend or bring some wine! Or both?
Your gowns will remain unharmed- maybe need dry clean at most? Just in case you ever needed that chartreuse yellowish-green gown again it'll be put safely back in your closet :)
