style swap

On a tight budget and being the reccessionista’s that so many of us are, shopping trips are becoming rarer then ever for a lot of girls I know. That’s why I thought it was so amazing when my friend Julia, the owner of stylehog.com, decided to do a “Style Swap’ event. The event was held in April and was a great idea for women who are sick of their clothes to swap in a tee or two and get some new ones in return. The rules were as follows:

- Bring 1-4 items (such as shoes, belts, accessories, purses, clothes, jackets, pants, coats, etc.)
- The items must not be incredibly dated
- Arrive at the loft by 8:00pm
- Enjoy the open bar (sponsored by Belvedere vodka!) and wait for the ‘go ahead’ to rummage through the organized collection of used goods.
-
I brought my friend Rachel from work and we had a great time. It was such a good girl’s night out and I actually ended up with a few really cute pieces. Believe it or not there were even some Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Esprit and Juicy items.
