R.I.P. unwanted bras

On February 13th Secrets From Your Sister can help you lay your dead bras to rest. If you bring an old, poor fitting, mostly unworn, clean bra to the store you can get 25% of a new, regular priced bra, which I must say is pretty darn fantastic (since I have my eye on a cute little polka dotted one.)

Secrets From Your Sister has 2 locations in Toronto. The 560 Bloor St. West store is open from 10am to 9pm on Friday, and the 2501 Yonge St. shop will be in business from 11am till 9pm, but you want to get there before 8pm, when their bra-fitting room list will wrap up.
Its also a nudge to clean out all the neglected brassieres that gather dust in our closets. Some bras are past any kind of salvation and will be put out of their misery, but the rest will be donated to Sistering, a Toronto group of community workers that help homeless and low-income women in the city to find housing, transportation options, and utilize services like laundry, showers and life skills workshops.

Not only will you be getting a fab-u-lous bra, you'll be donating clothing to women who could really use it and will apreciate it. Valentines Day is right around the corner, so for some, a little something that makes you feel sexy is a nice perk.

It's less like a funeral and more like a celebration.
