I've never been to a clothing swap before. Some Boston-area fatshionistas are having one in a few weeks (June 8) and I would love to go, but I'm totally intimidated. I thought it might be easier, and more fun, to get all of my friends together for a swap. I don't want to leave anyone out who's up for fashion and fun, but I know a fair number of you have worn or currently wear something in the 14/16 - 22/24 size range, so I thought we could start there. I'd love to expand the size range or even include maternity clothes if there's enough interest.
Basically, everyone brings a few articles of clothing or accessories that are in good condition but just don't work for them anymore. Everything gets sorted by size, type, or color and we take turns trying things that aren't new, but are new to us. At the end of the day, what isn't swapped gets donated to charity or hauled back home.
How about June 21 or 22? Jon will be out, so we could have full run of my place. I could haul my things down to the Worcester area if someone there would like to host from a more central location. It could be like a girls' night in, with drinks and snacks. What do you guys think?
