let’s swap clothes!

IMG_7923

a few recent life changes have pushed me to do some major closet purging over the last couple of months. it’s just what happens when you relocate from one climate to another all while watching your belly expand to proportions you didn’t think possible. but even if you aren’t going through something as major as a move or a pregnancy, there’s still always that 20% (or more) of your wardrobe that just hangs in the back of the closet. you fully intend to wear them one day, but let’s face it, sometimes you have to admit defeat and accept that it’s time to part ways. i really like the idea of swapping clothes because it’s fun to see my stuff go off to nice new homes, and it’s a way for me to get new things without having to give in to the lure of fast-fashion.

enter swapdom. they recently got in touch with me and asked me if i’d be interested in giving it a try. it usually takes a lot for me to try a new startup site, but with a duffle bag full of stuff just waiting to go, i decided to give it a whirl. swapdom allows you to request items you love, tell swapdom what you’d offer in exchange, and then sit back and let swapdom organize a multi-person swap for you. all you have to do is pay the postage on any items you receive in your swap. for my first round, i took a few minutes to snap some photos and have listed a few items up on my profile. i’m only showing a little sneaky peek here, but i’ve already listed items from paul & joe sister, quicksilver, ace & jig, asos, and ark & co.

 

the site is still in private beta, but you can bypass the wait list with this link so you can start swapping right now and get a better look at the items i’ve listed so far! and if you upload three items to start, you’ll get free shipping on your first swap. so get to it, because i’m on the hunt for some new clothes!
