New to you clothes, plus a fashion show!
They say charity is its own reward, but a new belt or pair of jeans never hurts, either. This Saturday, help a worthy cause and score some fab new-to-you clothing at Buffalo Gal Vintage's Second Annual Charity Clothing Swap and Trashy Fashion Show.
Here's how it works: From 10 a.m. to noon, drop off a bag of your fat clothes, skinny clothes, those awful tapered khakis that accentuate your cankles and whatever else you no longer wear. Men's, women's and children's clothing is welcome; it doesn't have to be vintage. Sorry, no undergarments.
At noon, enjoy a trashy fashion show in which all the garments and accessories are made with at least 75 percent recycled materials.
Then from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., B.Y.O. shopping bag to fill up with other people's discarded loot. You may also buy a shopping bag for $5.
Now here's the charity part: The leftover clothes and all money raised go to CASA (Community Action Stops Abuse) to help fight domestic violence against women and children. And if a new wardrobe and stellar karma weren't enough, you'll also get a free hotdog courtesy of the Dairy Inn.
Diva, charity looks good on you.
Buffalo Gal Vintage is at 1219 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. N, St. Petersburg. For details call (727) 290-8468 or e-mail buffalogalvintage@gmail.com.

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices. A Detroit native, Keyonna delves into her urban roots to find fashion pairings that give a nod to street fashion while maintaining the class of the modern, professional woman. She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
