If you’ve never participated in a clothing swap, then now is the time! Clothing swaps are truly a fun experience and they’re a great way to meet new people, plus it’s great for being eco-conscious.

The great part about this clothing swap is that if your pieces don’t get picked up by anyone, you can either take them home with you or you can leave them to be donated. This is a great guilt-free shopping experience, plus there will be brunch and music — is there a better way to shop?!
