Fashion Swaps for your old frocks!!

After re-organizing many closets, taking items to Revente, Curious closet, and Goodwill...I have leftovers!!!
With the rising cost of fashion, it makes more sense to recycle your old clothes with friends. One persons trash, is another persons treasure. It's a great way to get "new-to-you" clothing and accessories, and clean out your closet at the same time.
Do remember, you will need a home for the the items you have swapped.

The rules for a Fashion frock swap are as follows:

1. Make a list, include several groups of like size people.
2. Ask guests to bring at least 5 items to swap, including make-up, handbags, shoes, books, jewelry...anything that one would sell at a yard sale. But keep it simple!
3. Clothing should be on hangers and in good condition. Separate items by categories, such as value type and size.
4. Stage a full length mirror near the swap area, so others can comment on items tried on...in an effort for one not to bring home items they will never use.
5. Have refreshments, and snacks available...usually BYO...and play funky music that reflects a retail store. Music always sets the mood!
(Any items that are not swapped, are in good condition, and in season, try taking them to Revente 803.256.3076 for consignment. Then donate the rest to your local Goodwill.)
