Posh Swaps Blog

Have you ever considered swapping your clothes? Maybe not but considering most people only wear a small percentage of their clothes most of the time, perhaps it would be a good idea. Most people have a least one or two items of clothing that for one reason or another they never wear. These clothes are just gathering dust and using up valuable wardrobe space, swapping them is  a great way to get something new that you would wear. Some of the prime clothes for swapping include:-

• Clothes that you are just bored of, you have worn them so many times, you are completely fed up with them even though they are still in great condition.
• Clothes that don’t fit. Perhaps you have lost or put on weight, had a baby or the clothes have never fitted you. If you are holding on to them in the hope that they will one day fit you, you may well of gone off them by then anyway.
• Clothes that are just not your colour. You will have a number of colours that look great on you and make your complexion glow and also a number of colours that make you look washed out. If you have clothes that don’t look great on you get rid of them and get something that does.
• Clothes that just don’t suit your bodyshape. We all make the occasional purchasing error when it comes to clothes. If something doesn’t suit you there is absolutely no point in hanging on to it, swap it now.
• Unwanted presents. Whilst friends of family may have had the best of intentions, you will sometime receive clothes as gifts that you just don’t like. Don’t feel guilty about swapping them, surely it is better than wasting them by leaving them at the back of your cupboard.
• Clothes that don’t suit your lifestyle. What is the point in having 10 party dresses if you only go to one party a year. Why not swap them for day dresses that you can wear more often.
• Last years Christmas party dress. If you always go to a party with the same people, you will probably not want to wear the same dress twice. Swapping it is the perfect solution.

So why not have a sort out. You can swap your clothes online at Posh-swaps.com for free or if you live near enough why not come along to one of our clothes swap parties. You will be doing your bit for the environment and saving yourself some money.
