MyGirlfriendsCloset.com Created by Nichole Addario Di Modica as a solution for today’s busy women and their ever-enlarging wardrobes. They encourage you to continue to give to local charities and good will organizations, however, there are key pieces women purchase that they’re hard pressed to give up because of the cost or beauty. We convince ourselves we’ll wear it again, but if we could make a little of our money back, we might be more inclined to clean house a bit better than we have been in the past. So, share your closet with your girlfriends all over the world, get some return on investment from your wardrobe and even use the money to update your wardrobe with this season’s new “must-haves”!
