is auctioning off her closet. From March 1st to the 11th, Oprah is auctioning off things from her closet. Her collection includes her fabulous shoes (Choos and Louboutins!), designer clothes and... drool: hand bags. Visit her site next week when the auction starts here. All proceeds will benefit her Leadership Academy.
You can sign up for auction updates at Oprah's eBay Store
Couple of my favorite excerpts (because I can hear Oprah saying this) from the closet-cleaning event (from Oprah.com):
Next in Adam's sights: a peach chiffon skirt having a froufrou moment among Oprah's unfussy everyday clothes. "When would you ever wear this?" he asks. "I'm going to wear this in the spring, when everything is lovely and gay," Oprah replies. Adam stops mid-organizing to consider that idea. "When you shop, sometimes you have an idealized version of yourself in mind, don't you?" he asks. "Yes. I'm picturing myself in a bonnet in the spring," she says. "Or at a lunchtime garden party." The skirt stays.
...
Adam gets it; he really does. "It's difficult for anyone to toss something they've spent their hard-earned money on," he says. "My suggestion: Some things are classic, and you can keep those. But anything that's trendy? Let it go."
Oprah acquiesces, particularly after Adam suggests that the donated items be auctioned off on eBay. "The money should go to OWLA," Oprah says, referring to the leadership academy she opened for South African girls in 2007. "That sale would make all of this worth it."
