When I received a request to share this event with you, I couldn’t resist. It’s just so grassroots and sounds like a lot of fun. Swap parties are also an inexpensive and green way to refresh your wardrobe, clean out your closet and give to those in need.
What?

Very cool. I just might have to check this out.
ReplyDeleteRayanne, I think it's pretty cool too. Toronto Street Fashion used to organize swap events too. The one I attended had a stylist on hand for free consults.
ReplyDeleteIt you go, do tell.
this sounds fun! reminds me of the shoeaholics anonymous book where they swap shoes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - I'd love to start one of those in my neck of the woods but might wait til I move back to Vancouver...
ReplyDeletemgtv, please let us know if you decide to start your own clothing swap party. I'd be happy to let people know.
