LADIES NIGHT: Closet Swap

If you’re anything like me, you probably have lots of outfits you:
a) don’t wear anymore
b) have never worn (yet)
c) only wear once a year
d) are saving until your summer body is back
e) you realize it looked better on that curveless model

When I was a kid, I used to dread the 2days a year my sister and I would stand in her bedroom putting clothes on and taking them off and trying them on and turning around so my mother could yank on various parts to see how long I’d have to own it before it really fit me.  I didn’t mind hand-me-downs, it’s just my sister hit puberty overnight and I had a long ways to catch up.
Strangely, my closet is still the same.  There are blouses, skirts, dresses and accessories of various sizes and I don’t know if I’ll ever wear much of it again.  I am ansy to divest my closet of vestments.  I would be fine taking most of it to a thrift store, but I still have some emotional bond with these articles and hope some friend or acquaintance will appreciate their value or history a little.

Do you want to clear your closet too?  Work on that this weekend while it’s pouring rain outside and then, pile all the clothing up and bring them next Thursday, the 18th for a session of hand-me-overs.  We’ve got a full length mirror and some friends who will be objective about whether something really does makes your butt look Big.  Afterward, we’ll truck whatever is left over to a thrift store.

You’re welcome to bring a bottle of soda or wine or snacks.  158 Eaton 6pm
