One day I came up with this brilliant idea; to have a party at my house, with friends, yummy eats and drinks and exchange clothing, purses, shoes, jewelry, etc, and call it a “Fashion Swap Party!” My idea was truly brilliant… I shared said idea with my sister and she informed me “Oh yeah, haven’t you heard of those before? Its a clothing swap. Google it.” So that I did…
And apparently Clothing Swap parties are all the rage. How did I miss this? I thought my idea was original… oh well, so what, lets party!
“Old Clothes shouldn’t die, they should find new life with a proud new owner.”
I sent out an invitation via facebook {gotta love modern technology!} and got a great response from everyone. I wanted to have a fun, fabulous, everything girly fun kind of party, and that my friends is exactly what it was…
The rules were simple:
*For every one item you contribute, you are welcome to take one item from the table. Want more items? Bring more stuff! (Please bring a minimum of 5 items, they can be anything from the following: clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, purses, etc. No home decor. Just fashion items you can wear/use)
*If two or more people see an item they want at the same time, desperately want it and negotiations are at a standstill, they must draw straws for the item.
*Make sure all items are free of stains, rips, etc.
*Whatever is left over on the table/racks and the original owner doesn’t want to take it home, it will be donated.
There was 20 people that came to the Fashion Swap and everyone raved how fun the night was and that they want to host their own party too. There was even giveaways! Everyone put a raffle ticket in the jar and fun prizes were given from Amanda Carol Designs, Confectionaly Yours, MoCo Zumba and a personal stylist genius (my sister), Sarah.
The party was a great success and everyone left with fun new items to add to their closet! I don’t know if I could have pulled the event off so well with out my two sidekicks…
I have two of the most creative, fabulous, awesomest sisters ever!! We just had to get all doll’d up for the event. 
That’s how we roll.
My sister was taking pictures all night {thank you sissy!}, so everything you see above is from her. That evening at like, midnight {she had WAY too much coffee} she sent me this…
How adorable is that? And yes, I do have to tease my hair to make it “bigger than Dallas”, thankyouverymuch. I should file this under “Signs I’m from Texas”. Yes?
There ya go, loves. That’s how you have a Fashion Swap Party. Have you ever had a clothing swap before? Do tell.
Sign up for 
I love that your hair is Bigger Than Texas.
I’ve never hosted one, but have been to several of these parties, we call them Naked Lady Parties because everyone is trying on clothes
yours looks really fun and I LOVE those cookies!!
This looks like it was so much fun!
I would LOVE to go to one!
it was sooo much fun! and cant wait for the Fall version!!
I love this idea. Not sure I could pull it off as fabulously as you three did though. OMG could you and your sisters be any more adorable?
that looks so much fun! and your dress is adorable!
Oh that looks so awesome! I’m so sorry I missed it- I was a hot nasty mess after working outside in Alabama all day. I love that you have such a great relationship with your sisters- very cool.
Awesome!
I’m curious to know what you ended up getting!!
My fashion swap didn’t end up working out, but I ended up going around collecting all the clothing anyways to donate to the Women’s Shelter. We have about 12 big bags of clothes!! Insane!!
Glad it went great, it looks like a fantastic time!!
What a great idea! And it looks like y’all had such a fun time too – what with all the adorable decor and yummy looking snacks. Those cookies are too cute!
Ya’ll did an excellent job! I am so bummed I missed it. So bummed. Daniel was working that evening and so I had the kiddos. Please tell me you will have another one soon… I will even start now getting my items together. :O) I have to say I feel somewhat special since I did teach you some of what you know with the retail world… even though I KNOW the real fashion sence came from you and your sis’s. Looked like an awesome party!!!
This is so much fun! Love the photos and love Skinny Girl Margaritas!
OMG what a great idea! I would love to try this out!
I am not sure I would be nearly as successful at this, mostly because I’m not nearly as fashionable!
