I love a good clothing swap party. Seriously, it's the best way to update your style without spending a single penny. I've previously shared some swap tips, but I wanted to go one step further and focus on the guests. Specifically who you should invite for the most successful, glamorous swap event. These are the ladies who will bring the goods!

Sip & Swap, clothes swap

For my last Thrifty Threads post, I wore a pair of Aldo tribal print wedges I scored from my Sip & Swap event. It was a great afternoon of exchanging our amazing clothes we no longer wanted. As soon as GangStarr Girl pulled the shoes out of her bag, I knew I had to have them. I was lucky enough to grab them first and they make a serious statement and I didn't even have to pay a penny for them.One question I've been asked is how to host a clothing swap. Though we went all out with our swap {private venue, giveaways, specialty cocktails, etc.}, you can certainly host your own party.Following a few easy tips will guarantee a perfect clothing swap party and a quick way to update your wardrobe.
