I heart fashion swaps!!!

I'm not really sure how they got started.  Maybe it's the economy or a great idea that just exploded, but fashion swaps are my new favorite thing!  It takes consignment to a new level.  I guess not even a new level, it's like a new thought process.........  No money needed, because its FREE!  For those of you who have never heard of a "fashion swap" here is a sample of how this year's swap in Atlanta will work:

• Check in your clothes and accessories you no longer wear (up to 10) at the check in desk, between 7:00 and 8:00pm.
• You will receive a ticket for each item you check in.
• Enjoy food and drinks whilst catching up with friends and meeting other Atlanta fashionistas.
• The swap event will start at 7:00pm.
• You will be called in the order that you arrived. The first person to arrive will be the first person to browse through the racks and find some 'new to you' items.
• Once you have selected your items, please proceed to the check out to finalize your selections.
• You will be able to try on items if needed but make it snappy because the next number will be called while you are trying on your items.
• You can take the items that you brought back with you or leave them to be donated to charity.

The cool thing is you can do this yourself at a small level with a group of friends and family.

Here are a couple websites to help you get started......  ENJOY!
