Earlier in May, I had the great pleasure of attending my very first clothing swap! Being a casual fashion blogger myself, as well as a dedicated reader of a host of personal style blogs, I am familiar with the concept of a clothing swap.
Here's how this one worked:
1) Each lady brought a basket of their previously-used, no-longer worn clothing and accessories.
2) The clothes were divided up into categories… skirts, jackets, jewellery and so on.
3) Our lovely hostess held up each piece, describing it's size, colour and other features.
4) If a lady wanted the item, she would raise her hand. If only one lady wanted it, it was hers, but if it caught the eye of more than one of us, the hostess would pick a number and we would each guess. Whoever guessed the closest to her number won the item.
I got some great items. Most notably, I collected a colourful woven purse with leather trim, a railroad-striped denim bag, as well as a cropped tan jacket with 3/4 sleeves. I also got this great brown, knee-length skirt!
