It's a great event Carrie! you get to meet new people and share your clothes :)
DeleteThis is a really great idea! I try to purge my closets twice a year--or when I run out of hangers. Then I swear I won't buy something I don't REALLY love...but it happens anyway. I could probably donate 2/3 of my closet and still have plenty to wear
ReplyDeleteKaryl, i didn't realise how much stuff I had in my closet until I went through it for the clothes swap. How embarrassing!
DeleteThis is a fantastic idea. Sometimes your items are still good but no longer fit or no longer suit your style or needs. I used to do something similar with children and books.
