The summer is almost over and I've been talking with my girlfriends about fun weekend events and now that we're turning seasons, what better way than to do a little summer wardrobe cleaning to open up space for all the new fun fall fashion trends.
Over the years I've been to slash and trash parties and wardrobe swaps. Some have been successful and others had resulted with strips of fabric scattered across my living room of once was a floor length tube dress (yes even I had worn the 80's style fitted but something left to the imagination dress). So hit your closets and invite your girlfriends for a night of reinventing yourself with what is one's sadly unworn clothes to that cute new piece to wear for a night out with the gals:)
A few tips to help the night move smoothly, bring at least 10 items per person, note, tattered clothing need not apply. As each woman takes center stage to show what she's brought, allow your girlfriends to raise their hands if interested in the item. Should there be multiple raised hands, use the old system of picking a number and whom ever guesses the closest, wins the garment. I like to hit up the local book store to have a few of the latest fashion magazines for the ladies to peruse for some inspiration. Cosmopolitans served with hor d'ouevres for night and mimosas and tea sandwiches for day events are always fun. Any items that don't make the cut can be brought to your local goodwill.
Have fun ladies and stay tuned for more tips to turn one's trash into someone's treasure!!!
