I was asked to participate in the Spirit Girls Night Out at the Holiday Inn on Thursday, October 25th.  The St. Cloud Hospital, part of the CentraCare Health System, is one of the many healthcare providers across the country that participates. 

The Spirit of Women's goal is to help change the perception of healthcare from "apprehension to accessibility through positive interactions with hospitals and healthcare providers. They provide "education, awareness initiatives, and navigation to appropriate physicians, diagnostic and clinical services."  Sounds like a wonderful goal, correct?!

My purpose, as a local boutique, was to contribute six outfits for their fashion show and also have a booth set up with items featured in our shop!  The fashion show was fun and really showcased all the cool things from some local shops!

I had an excellent time chatting with all the ladies that joined in for the Girls Night Out!  It was such a success with over double the attendance they were expecting!  I hope they took in all the info and guidance they could from the different speakers!

If you missed the fun night, you can see what we had on display below!

We decided to do a few different looks, starting with this fall inspired section.  We went with pretty deep tones.  We included not only Northern Brights items, but lots of stuff from our local artisans, including Jenny Bunny Creations and Barefoot Bath and Body!

Here is a bunch of fun things that are more eclectic.  Big bold jewelry from Vita In Tensione and a beautiful purple upcycled wool hat are featured here along with other expressive pieces for a more funky look!

Bright and fun was the name of this section.  Check out that beautiful teal hat from Hats by Victoria!  It's amazing the bold colors that you can mix and match, even in the more muted fall and winter months!

The pictures were taken with my phone, so they aren't the best, but you get the point!

We loved putting the outfits together and really wish we had taken pics of those, but any time you have trouble creating a whole outfit, you know where to go!  :D
