Ok, I've meant to do one of these so many times, it hurts. I have a massive amount of clothes I never wear. Some of them are really nice, and either don't fit me properly, or just never looked right in the first place.
Who among us would be interested in doing a clothing swap? Chances are, we'll all be a little broke after Christmas, and yet may also find it hard to suppress the need to hoard clothes. We could get together, throw all of our unwanted clothes, even accessories, into a pile, and trade stuff. Obviously, it would be advisable to bring things that are of sufficient use to someone else, but I imagine we'd be surprised how much of what bores us will send our friends squealing off with delight.
When I moved last year, I got rid of bags and bags of clothes, which were pilfered by friends like carrion birds. It was cool to see that stuff I liked, but didn't necessarily want to wear, went to a good home.
It might also help us all to get rid of that stuff that we haven't been able to let go of. If you knew you'd pick something up to replace it, you might. I might, anyway. The back of my closet is pathetic. There's so much awesome stuff that I just don't wear, but hang onto 'just in case'.
And finally, what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than in someone's house, playing dress-up, eating snacks, and chuckling?
Anyone?
