Swap Clothes...Nosh & Whine...
I have now successful thrown two Clothing and Accessories
Swap Parties. And I have to say that each time, just about everyone, (except
returning guests) exclaim "why hadn't they done this before??"
Everyone brought at least 5 items, either a food or drink and each walked away
with at least one new item! Whatever was left was donated.
Now I am sure that you can get all "professional"
with regard to the rules...but we just laid out the clothes, (in my living
room) and walked around as if we were at our favorite boutique. We laughed at
some of the items that we had brought...what we were thinking when we bought
this shirt...but wait...there is always a buyer for everything...so of course,
your close friend, absolutely loves the shirt...and wait it fits too!!
I will say that this go around I forgot to borrow a full
length mirror. It is always nice to be able to try on and see what you look
like. :)
One of my friends came a bit later while we were all in the
middle of shopping. She had a bag in her hand filled with goodies. She was instantly
mobbed! Well, maybe it was me that mobbed her. I saw a gorgeous scarf popping
out. It had an Anthropologie flare to it...and guess what... it was
Anthropologie!! She just could never get it right! Well, I tried it on...and
perfecto!! I had been looking for a cool scarf for awhile.
I recommend swap parties to everyone!! They are a great way
to clean out your closet and find new items to fill it with...and all for free
of course! And you know that I love me some free stuff!
LivE Wisely!!
