This past weekend I hosted a Sip & Swap with the ladies of O So Chic. If you were one of the ladies in attendance, then you know we had a great time and if you couldn't join us, check out the recap.
We sipped on cocktails provided by
Ciroc and swapped our gently used {but fab} clothes and accessories. Besides Ciroc, our other sponsors included
Golden Krust Bakery, Handbag Heaven,
Havaianas,
Happy Scarf and
Housing Works. After swapping clothes for two hours, we still had a ton of clothes left over, but they all found a good home, as they were donated to Housing Works, which isn't just a chain of thrift stores but an organization that supports those in NYC who are homeless and/or living with HIV/AIDS.
Whether the ladies were a size 2 or 12, they all walked out with at least one bag of clothes and accessories.
If you guys follow me on Twitter or Facebook, then you know I spent last week in San Francisco. Besides enjoying some serious thrifting {more on that later this week}, I took in the sights, as this was my first time in the Bay Area. And of course, I rocked head to toe thrifted looks. I never intentionally wear head to toe thrift store finds, but because the majority of my wardrobe is secondhand, that's just how it works out!During my first day in the city I went for a denim top {Salvation Army} and cobalt blue maxi skirt {Goodwill}. The skirt was actually free because I redeemed my Goodwill Rewards Card points. If you're a serious Goodwill thrift shopper, check with your local store to see if they have one of these cards, you won't regret it.
Bring your clean, gently worn clothes, shoes and accessories and you can swap them with other fashionable ladies. Any clothes that haven't been swapped after the event, are being donated to the thrift store,
