Clothes Swapping is the New Way To Shop
How much do you luv free clothes? What if we told you that you can leverage your closet for a free new to you wardrobe right in your own community. And, what if you did it in style while having fun and making new friends. You can, in a well organized Clothing Swap. Swapping is the new shopping for Millenials who want to look fashion fresh without breaking the bank. Jerah captures levereging your closet in her article “How To Leverage A Free New Wardrobe by Starting Locally,” in her local online mag, This Week in Sarasota, read the article here.
If you are as swap curious as we are about what a Clothing Swap event looks like, see the video right here, as ABC Nightline covers the clothing swap craze hitting urban cities across the United States.
Need some encouragement to swap out your clothes? Read up over at the Swapperazzi Blog, a collection of the hottest looks in swap style from the Swapaholics. What I like about their blog is not only does it give me ideas of how to put clothes together, it reinforces my disbelief at the amazing quality finds you can get at a swap.
Ready to attend a swap? Find a swap in your area on the Swapaholics worldwide directory.Getting bolder? Host a swap like we are and list it in the directory.
If you are local, attend our very first 50Tuesday Clothing Swap & Trunk Show Get the details below.
What’s your Fetish? Ours is Convertible Fashion.
Oh yeah we took it there. We collaborated with our local talent to create FETISH, a digital book by up and coming young photographer, Morgann Klooster.
Morgann worked with our brand for her Senior Fall Semester and designed the entire concept of this book from start to finish. After you check out Morgann’s amazing work on her website, order the FETISH book right here. This photoshoot was inspired by the convertible lifestyle.
Our fav local hairdresser D. Cole Hair Design, took Jerah’s hair a step further and made it as convertible as our B. Here you see one dress, one hair style, with many ways to wear. Special thanks to Jacqueline Ann for the bang up makeup and jewelry by The Jewelry Fountain.

Luv Yourself and You Will Luv Your Fashion.
It’s not complicated
Like your daily beauty routine
It just takes practice. If you are frustrated by your wardrobe, then let us let you in on a little secret.
You are still going to be frustrated by your wardrobe unless (THIS IS BIG)
#1. you luv yourself
#2. you take some time to get intimate with your closet
Ladies, you have to fall in luv with all of you. The little sags, the quirky shapes, the tones of your skin, your silhouette, all of you. Because, once you do, you will be amazed at how you start focusing on the beautiful little things about you. From there, you dress up those beautiful things. You begin to understand what looks good on you. Which leads you to pick out your style, that then leads to a seemless stress free shopping experience. You buy what works for you and what accentuates your most beautiful you. You receive the compliments, you start to feel good about yourself, and repeat. By this point you will enjoy reading a fashion mag or two, vetting out a trend or two that you would like to wear this season.
And most importantly, you will find yourself becoming a great curator of this thing we call a closet. That is really a holding cell, a vault, an art bank for the next show on your body. It becomes fun, you don’t just buy to stuff your closet full, you select which item has the privilege to be part of your wardrobe. When you see all those fashionista’s running about town, in the mags, on the blogs, this is the mental place they are at. And you thought fashion was frivolous. Fashion is a reflection of our mental state of mind.
Take some time to get intimate with yourself and your closet with these steps.
- #1 tell yourself what part of your body you luv today, and repeat the next
- #2 Discover your body shape and how to dress for it over on Elsa Isaac’s Blog
- #3 Book a stylist and be amazed at how they can up your fashion game. Our local favorite is Stina Michiels of Urban Eco Beauty.
- #4 Do us a BIG favor and find out your true bra size at your local deparment store. Over 80% wear the wrong size. (not joking). See how this makes a huge difference.
- #4 HSN just launched their Dress Shop so you can shop by your body shape, silhouette and event.
- #5 Own a good pair of jeans that fit your behind well, Own a crisp white tank, tee, and long sleeve, and Own a B. All wardrobe staples that take you from classic to dressy.
We even make crib sheets on how to wear your B.’s. You don’t know it yet, but the B design flatters any woman’s body. We wish we could put it on you right now. The design is created to give illusions. For those who are well endowed it hides the big and shapes the bust. For those who are small on top and heavy on the bottom, this design gives you what you need at the top and takes away at the bottom. We know a woman’s pain point is her stomach so we created an Obi, a wide belt, that you can secure around your mid area to suck in, synch, and scrunch it into the shape you are looking for while shaping you in your B.
Shop our B and B. Wild Flower.
