Last year, my friend Kitty Cattaraugus hosted a clothing exchange that yielded a much-needed update to my wardrobe. I had a great time and met some cool, stylish ladies. I found a gorgeous blue silk dress that fit perfectly and which I was able to wear to two weddings (thank you Laura!). It was a brilliant afternoon of champagne and scones and Finnish pancake.
I enjoyed it so much, I decided to host another clothing exchange last weekend. I met even more awesome women, and ate yummy brunch treats and scored some cute dresses, handbags and stylish shoes. My couch, table, chairs, piano bench and floor were covered in a dazzling array of colors and fabrics. The husband squeezed a mountain of oranges for our mimosas. I was happy to see my friends go home with piles of lightly used fashion, and when it was over, happy to see the bags of unclaimed clothes that would be donated to Good Will and a women’s shelter.
These pretty pink flats did not find a home. If only they were my size.
What a great idea . Everyone feels fresh and those who are in need have some real gifts for a new start. You are so clever, Niece.
It was so much fun and so happy to start this trend that I hope continues on for years to come. Ladies, fashion, brunch what more could you ask for?
