Continuing in the theme of yesterday’s post on How to Give Your Friends Your Clothes, Sophie over at The Ethical Wardrobe has created a fun guide to hosting your own clothes swap soirée. Also check out her update on how 1/4 of a year of not shopping retail is treating her. (Bonus: the post includes both a reference to A League of Their Own and a cheeky thumbs up from President Obama.)
Have you ever hosted a clothes swap? (I have not, other than the informal post-yoga “I brought you the clothes I don’t wear” meetings in my coworker’s office.)
Any advice (besides wine) for making it successful and enjoyable for all?
BESIDES wine?? Have I MISSED something, Leah?! ;-)
Thank you so much for the shout out! My next goal is to go to a more ‘official’ one – they pop up now and then in Melbourne so hopefully I can find one soon!
Ooh, “official” swaps sound like a whole new world. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!
A beautiful goal worth working toward. However, I wonder how one dialogues about root causes in a way that a majority of Americans could understand and connect with? I think one of the most significant challenges here is couanmicmting a complex message that isn’t reinforced by the mass media. Any thoughts on this idea are appreciated.
