I put together a 1st ever clothing swap for my friends & I this weekend and it was a great success! I invited my female friends and co-workers over and had them bring any clothes they wanted to get rid of. We separated the clothing by size and people picked through, tried on, put back, tried more on, etc. Many walked away with big bags of new clothes, shoes and purses. Friends even donated if the couldn't attend. Since it was such a great success, I am going do another swap at the end of the summer season. It's a great idea that I wanted to share!
I wasn't sure where to donate the remaining clothes but a coworker suggested I donate to the Buckhead Christian Ministry here in Atlanta. They have a boutique-style thrift store that is open to the community.
The only thing I am thinking about adding to my next clothing swap is a garment rack. Just a cheapy one from Walmart. And grabbing some wire hangers from my dry cleaners store. That way people can hang things up. I think that would have helped when look through shirts and dresses.
