Well Dressed Gal

Last night was a riot! 14 ladies in my livingroom trying clothes on and laughing uproariously. (Is that a word?) I do this twice a year and it's a blast. I host a free clothing exchange and its so simple that I'm shocked more don't do it. Everyone brings whatever clothes they have that they don't want anymore - purses,shoes, jewellery are also brought. Everything gets dumped in the middle of the floor and on the count of three the madness begins. The only rule is that you have to try it on before leaving so that if it isn't right for you someone else can have it. I came away with a number of great pieces, cleaned out my own closets and had a hoot.

It's funny to see different personalities shine through. Everyone is very VERY polite and gracious and for all the times I've done this there hasn't been a single fight. But, I get a kick out of watching the shy ladies deal with the sight of everyone else in their underoos. My sisters and I are not what you would call shy so it's fun for me to see even the shyest of gal overcoming her insecurities and strip down with the rest of us.

Plan your own! You'll love it - who doesn't love free clothes?
