Swapping is a great concept. I was introduced to it at TxSC in 2010. You take your clothes in mint condition (or barely used) to the swap and exchange it for something else, free of cost. Of course before taking the pieces to the swap, you need to make sure they are clean and not worn out. The idea is to re-vamp your wardrobe without any extra cost. Now if there are no 'official' swapping event in your neighborhood you can also do it with your friends and family. This particular jacket is by DvF and I swapped it with Sarah last year. I don't know her reasons for giving it up, but I sure love it. And might I add, you can totally do this on your #shoppingban!
Talking of the ban, I have finally figured out how we are going to play this out. Saturday will be the assigned day to talk-discuss about the ban. There will be a link-up every week for the bloggers participating, where you can submit the post where you have mentioned about the ban in that particular week. If you are not a blogger but wish to share your experience/thoughts/concerns you will be able to do that in the comments section. Comments will be open for that post every Saturday. I will be emailing everyone who has signed up for the ban on Saturday as a reminder. Do not worry, I won't be spamming you guys. That is the only email you will receive from me. Promise! If you don't know what I am talking about, you should read this and join us. May be? :)
