The Swap
First I must declare that I LOVE THE WEEKEND; it’s the best time of the week. It’s the time when I get to choose what I fill my day with, as opposed to weekdays, when most of my time is spoken for.
This weekend marked the first ever clothing swap between my girlfriends and I; and OH MY GOD, why didn’t we do this sooner. Every single one of us has been lamenting over how “over” our clothes we are; so we decided to swap; the idea coming from the Delightful Dozen- a group of my favorite personal style bloggers who swap clothes periodically.
The only rule was every girl had to bring a minimum of 4 pieces of clothing; and truthfully I was concerned that people would only bring their junk. But, as usual, my ladies came through! Our whole front sitting room was covered in clothing; we decided to set up “shops”, so that everyone would know who they were shopping from. I am still blown away by how many gem pieces of clothing were strewn about my living room; at one point I even stood on the couch and, at the top of my lungs, squealed “I LOVE SWAPS!”
We loved the clothing swap so much that we decided we should swap music and anything that's swappable; we even joked that we should swap men- just jokes though, we’re fun women, but not that “fun”.
I can’t wait to post all the new outfits I create from the pieces I chose; my closet is renewed!
And one more time for good measure…I LOVE SWAPS!
