Jo and I had our very first clothing swop at Wolves last night and it was a roaring success. Damn we collected a lot of things (some that I was thinking of clothes-napping before the time, I didn’t though) for shoppers and for Hospice, so thank you to everyone who came and contributed, it was such a lovely evening. And thanks again to KWV for the yummy wine!
If any of you came last night, feel free to leave us a comment letting us know what you thought of the event, what we could do to make it better, if you want to send us snaps of what you bought, go ahead xx any feedback is welcome xx
These are the few things I picked up, I wan’t really in the mood to shop by the end of the sorting process, but it was still fun x Stripes stripes everywhere.
This dress below used to belong to me and now it belongs to Sazi, looks so cute on her. Thanks for the pics xx And the 2nd dress belonged to Nicki and now Emmaneel is enjoying it.
How did I miss that?
Anyway I spent a very very large amount at the woolworths sale so maybe I don’t need more clothes.
[…] to those of you that came. It was a huge success! Angie and i were really surprised with the outcome! People walked out with big smiles on their faces and […]
Too too too much fun! And I LOVE all the stuff I got. Thanks for organising honey – can’t wait for the next one xx
Do you want to hear something that sucks so hard? I actually dropped my stuff off on monday (I can see a dress of mine in one of those pics) and then on Tuesday night my long standing sniffle became a full fledged flu, and by Wednesday evening I was so naar I could hardly even stand up. I felt like crying and burying my face in icing sugar I was so upset. :((
Too much fun. I mean, who doesn’t like updating their wardrobe with a few new pieces?
Thank you so much for organizing this guys!
Count me in for the next one! x
WOW! Look how much STUFF and look how many PEOPLE!!! Go go clothing swap #2!
xxx
This may be an odd question, but which hospice are you dropping the rest of the stuff at and when? I didn’t have any clothes good enough to bring to swop (or rather my hoarding self wouldn’t let go of anything!) but it looks like some good stuff might be leftover, so if its going to be at a hospice shop, maybe i can nab it there!
Please let me know when you have the next event.
Thanks
Please please please have another one! Stoopid flu came back to play, I asked it nicely to leave cos i was busy with life but it refused and now we’re fighting.
PS WELL DONE JO AND ANGIE!
It was sooooo much fun, thanks for the pretty loot ladies 🙂
Loraine – OH THAT SUCKS!
So so sorry you got sick, which is your dress? I will tell you if it found a good home.
Hope you are feeling better xx
It’s the purple one with the little tie-collar. It’s the front dress in the second picture. If you guys ever have one of these again, I am buying myself a big ol’ tub of valoids and adcodols and ACCs and Advils before the time and even if I have to come flying high a little on that bif ol’ tub, Ima be there. I’d also like to know which hospice the clothes are going to- perhaps I can at least join in on some of the fashion awesomeness retroactively.
Wowzers, loved that dress so much, but it was sanpped up in the first like 6 seconds 🙁
The girl who took it totally suits it though x
oh and Rustenburg hospice is getting all the leftovers, Shane’s mom is part of that organisation x
Well at least it found a good home… Damndamndamn, I need chocolate or a cat on my lap like right now…
What a good looking swop! Lovely Lovely!
What a great event! I got some awesome stuff, am actually wearing the one item already! Please please make this a regular event. Lots of recessionista love…..
I dont even want to talk about this night… i was thinking of not even looking at this post 🙁 i should have sent craig with my dresses and gave him the go ahead to find me two new beauties…. because little me was at home in bed coughing up a lung 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 I have been so sick I had to give my mom the Decorex pass 🙁 this week is LAME! Please have another one of these awesome evenings, it looks so well organised! xxx

Hey ladies,
this looks like it was soo much fun! I’m so bummed to have missed it, and I’ve been looking everywhere for clothes swops in the Pretoria-Joburg area. PLEASE do let me know of any swops you know of taking place anytime soon, or when you’ll be organising another one! :))
