Feb Plus Swap - Sarah

For our swaps we book a room upstairs in a city centre pub, drag loads of tables out and put all the clothes we have to swap on them and invite other people to join in! We only have size 16 and above clothes so that us larger ladies and gentlemen have an alternative to the regular size swaps and shop.

When you arrive you plonk all the clothes you have brought with you on the relevant table. (All the skirts on one table, all dresses on another table etc) Then help yourself to whatever you fancy. Simples!

At the end, we weed out anything which is a little small in size, keep a starter "seed" for the next swap, and send a box of donated stuff to a women's shelter. Can you imagine anything worse than being told you are too big for donated clothes when you have arrived at a shelter with nothing? I can't think of a worse punch in the stomach than that when you are starting again from scratch.

And here are the photos from today's swap. Some great stuff!

Feb Plus Swap - Jen's Finds

So its two days since our latest swap. I have to admit that it was a little quiet. In hindsight the day after valentines wasn't the best of days to have picked and the weather didn't help. That said we did have a few people turn up and they made the whole day worth it!

Here's what I picked up...

This wiggle skirt and top combo

This lovely wrap dress

This amazing sheer dress (I have a slip underneath)

This lovely matalan coat in a size 20

A very cool, very comfy sequin jumper

SKULL DRESS!!

And in case you didn't notice them already
these amazing shoes!

The skull dress was the first thing I found and the one piece that made the day totally worth it for me! Also....SHOES! (Thanks Lydiffyr!)

Huge thanks to everyone who came along. The next one should be some time around May/June so keep your eyes peeled!

Next up Sarah's take on the day!
