Love Letter to My Closet is now open. Submit your story by September 30.
One piece of clothing. One powerful story. One chance to help another step forward with confidence.
Every wardrobe holds a memory. A blazer that helped you walk into an interview with confidence. A dress that made you feel like yourself again. A pair of jeans that carried you through a turning point.
Share a love letter to a special item in your closet and celebrate the power of clothing, confidence and second chances.
Entry is free. You can submit your story as writing, audio, video, or an image with a caption.

Share the moment, memory, feeling, or transformation connected to the item.
- Submit your love letter
Enter for free. You can make an even greater impact by donating to help transform a woman’s confidence into financial independence.

Your story can help someone else begin a new chapter
“Love Letter to My Closet” is more than a storytelling campaign.
It celebrates the role clothing can play in confidence, identity and opportunity.
Every submission helps shine a light on Fitted for Work’s mission: supporting women, non-binary and gender-diverse jobseekers to build skills, confidence and pathways to work.
When you submit, you can also choose to make a donation. Your support funds practical services such as work-ready programs, online outfitting, capsule wardrobes, and support for clients who face barriers to employment.
Need inspiration?
Your love letter can be heartfelt, funny, simple, emotional, or bold. It does not need to sound polished. It just needs to be yours.
- A jacket that helped you feel brave
- A dress that marked a new beginning
- Shoes that carried you into a new job
- A scarf from someone you love
