Everyone brought some items that they no longer wanted. The minimum was 5 pieces of clothing, but most of us had at least one bag full of clothes. There were also accessories, shoes and swimwear options. I personally had about 10 bags of clothes out on the table- I had had a big sort out and was looking forward to clearing out my storage.

I managed to get 13 items of clothing, a scarf and two pieces of jewellery. I have showcased them below so that you can see how well these items have been absorbed into my closet. I have listed the clothes swap item under each photo.
Left: Denim shorts, Centre: Ruffle skirt, Right: Black pants and scarf.
Left: Silver fern skirt and red merino jersey, Centre: Wool dress, Right: Patterned dress, Crop sleeve blazer.
When I put heels on I forgot to adjust the tripod!Left: Maxi dress, Centre: Peacock Dress, Right, Black halter dress, necklace and bracelet.
I also got these shorts. I love this new top as well- not from clothes swap but from Sammydress.
Opinions needed- do you think I can pull off this blazer? I also got it for free from my sister.
My favourite item ended up being the black dress- it has pockets and is super comfortable! I have been on the lookout for a LBD for some time now, and I am super chuffed that I got one for free. I can dress it up or down, and I think the neckline really suits me.
My friend Creative Mama also did a write up about her goodies from the Clothes Swap!

like it with and without the blazer
ReplyDeleteYes to the blazer!!!
ReplyDeleteI quite like the blazer. But I'd wear it with colour and push the sleeves up. Can't resist a good tzhjush!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Joining Wardrobe Wednesday x
I agree with Kim-Marie I would wear the blazer but with colour.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul of clothing. Loving the shorts and the last outfit is my fave, slightly prefer it without the Blazer. I also love you in all those dresses in the third row.
ReplyDeleteI hosted a link up yesterday (June 11) so check it out. I'd love for you to join. If you do, please make sure you include a link back to my blog.
Enjoy the weekend, Lauren.
P.S. We should totally follow each-other via GFC and Bloglovin.
I like it without the blazer. I really love the black halter dress and also the ruffle skirt. What a great idea, I wish my friends and I were all around the same size so I could steal this idea :) Thanks for linking up with What Wives Wear!
ReplyDeleteA very successful clothes swap! Love that maxi dress on you particularly :)

Lauren thanks for linking up. I recently went to a kids clothing swap at my daughter's school. I didn't think I would find anything good but I actually came out with a backpack full of stuff. I liked your peacock dress the best. I agree I would go with the blazer. Have a great weekend! ~Sherri
ReplyDeleteI like the blazer! Are the arms a little long? Maybe a roll or have them taken up. But it sits beautifully. Love the idea of a clothes swap, and love your finds! Will have to give it a go.
