Back to the matter in hand; my wardrobe mess. With the warmer weather slowly working its way in, I am feeling the need to spring clean.
Now I have started sorting through my wardrobe, I notice how many garments look remarkably similar. Are four pairs of tan/brown vintage and vintage-esque boots, ankle to knee length, a little excessive? Probably, but sorry wardrobe space, but these guys will be staying:
I do try selling clothes on eBay, but it can be time consuming, frustrating and expensive in fees if the items do not sell. I will be refashioning some of my wardrobe, but not everything can be saved. Of course I will be donating to the op shop, but there are some really good labels I am a little reluctant to part with, despite the fact they remain unworn.
I read about a clothes swapping event on Hayley Lau's blog Thinker Maker, which I'd not heard of before. It is called The Clothing Exchange.

I've managed to score myself a ticket to the Spring Frock Swap at Federation Square, Melbourne this Friday 10th Sept from 6.30pm, with thanks to Stylewilderness who will be organising a craft table at the event.
Readers may be thinking why am I swapping stuff for more stuff? Well, the master plan is to de-clutter, rid my wardrobe of the unworn, and replace with a smaller amount of well-fitted quality garments that I will actually wear....hmm, well, that is the plan.
I will show n' tell the stuff I swapped on a blog post after this Friday. I'm excited about it! In the meantime, have any other blog readers attended a clothes swapping event somewhere in the world? I'd be interested to hear about it.

um, don't worry about your boot 'collection'. Did you see my latest post on shoes?!
If I was lighter and lived in Melb I would so be there! Take pictures if you can :)
