Got wonderful things that you just never wear?
Want to see them go to a good home?
Our Clothing Swap and Shop is the perfect event for you to freshen up your wardrobe with some new items while giving some under-loved items a new chance to shine!
Itinerary:
6:15pm Arrive, get signed in and get your swaps in!
6:15pm-7pm Clothing Swap Time!
7:00-8:30pm Your opportunity to have styling session with our style experts, showing you how to rock your new-to-you items, and matching your new found pieces with the hottest spring styles!
8:30pm - Mix Mingle and Shop
8:45pm - Wrap-up
How it works:
Each person will bring 1-2 select, awesome, in great condition and perfectly wearable (but maybe just not by you) pieces to the swap. We're not looking for your ex's shabby t-shirt, but rather that great dress in the back of your closet you haven't worn lately! We're looking for spring/summer clothing you want to purge (and then replace with something new)! Go through your wardrobe and figure out what pieces don't work for you this season, and then bring 'em on in!
We're going to be monitoring all the swap clothing people are bringing to ensure that only the best loved items will be included - so you can be guaranteed a high quality swap event!
Once you drop off your items, you'll get a numbered ticket. The other half of that numbered ticket will be in a bowl, and we'll draw random numbers to create the order in which you pick your swap items, in two rounds!
After you've had your pick of the swap, we'll then pair you up with one of our style coaches, who'll show you how to get the most out of that new-to-you item, and how you can match it with the latest spring styles in store.
Anything not swapped will be donated by Fresh Collective to a local women's charity.
What not to bring: Out of respect for fellow swappers and your community, please bring items nice enough to lend to a friend. Do not bring ripped, dirty, stained items or those with broken zippers, etc. All items must be freshly laundered and/or dry cleaned if needed.
Not only is this a great way to give a little, and get a little, but it's a great opportunity to meet new friends and get connected with other fabulous women in your community!
We can only take 50 women in for the event, and we're sure that tickets will go fast, so RSVP now and tell your friends!
JUST ADDED! Everyone who attends will get a "mystery" gift card from Trend Trunk! Each card could have up to $250.00 on it to spend at Trend (http://www.trendtrunk.com) Trunk (http://www.trendtrunk.com)
