First Impressions Clothing Boutique

At Northampton’s Center for Career Development, we believe the cost of professional attire should not be a barrier to professionalism.

If you need professional attire, schedule an appointment by email or phone at 610.861.5481.

 

We gladly accept donations of new and gently used business clothing, including:
