Andy started the Clothes Swap Party early

When Andy got home from work, I showed him the clothes and accessories that I set aside for the swap. He was able to find two pairs of my jeans that fit him. He loves being able to take jeans of mine. He already has one pair of my old jeans that I didn't love the way they fit. He would love to have my Lucky jeans that are too small for me right now. There is no way that I am letting go of those. He does look good in them, but so did I. And he has the habit of messing clothes up...I can't take that chance with my Lucky jeans; they are the best pair of jeans that I've ever owned!! Anyway, he found some clothes from my closet; he just missed the "Swap". No worries ladies, I still have another pair in my stack...  Start making your own stack!!

Clothes Swap Party

I've decide that I want to do a Clothes Swap Party.  I've been thinking about it for a few weeks and get more excited about the possibility the more I think about it.  I know that I have lots of clothes that I don't wear but are in good condition.  I have a hard time donating everything that doesn't fit because I feel like I wasted money.  Well, if exchange clothes or accessories with other women, then it wasn't a total waste of money.  So, this is a heads up to all of the ladies out there who are in the area or will be in the area, that I am planning to have a party to swap out clothes and accessories sometime in September.  I'll be asking that everyone bring at least ten items; more would be welcome, and probably, easy to find in every woman's closet.  I've been going through my closet and have found about 50 items (clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, wallets).  There are some items that I don't really wear because I lack the occasion or the extra 10 pounds don't quite fit in them (I'll be fixing this before long...the rest of the summer should be less hectic).  My plan right now is to donate any remaining items to charity - women finding jobs (they need work clothes for interviews and the weeks before the first paycheck) and battered women's shelters (they probably left with little so as not to arouse suspicion; their first priority would be children's safety).  We'll have food, drinks, music, clothes, and accessories.  I also will be asking for any leftover or unused perfumes; it would be great if everyone got to leave with a new scent that they like rather than keeping one that they are tired of or don't care for.  If anyone is interested in attending or donating items, please let me know.  I also welcome any ideas.  I hope that others are as excited about free "clothes" as I am, and that this will go as I envision it.  I see this also as a time of fun and fellowship because I will be inviting guests to bring along a friend with their items.  The more people and items that walk in the door, the more possibilities there are for us to choose from.
