Oh how we love to shop....I mean....really!
Us girls (and some guys) have more clothes than we need or will wear in this lifetime! I have stuff in my closet that I bought cause it was on sale, or it was a designer, or I didn't try it on before buying (totally guilty of that) and all this crap probably still has tags on them! What a waste...and by the time you realize it's in your closet and the return policy has more than expired, you're stuck with hundreds of dollars of "worthless" clothes...or are they???
We all have probably tried to sell our clothes to resale shops like Crossroads, Buffalo Exchange, Warehouse, etc...but as you probably know, they get really picky at times, and definitely don't give you your money's worth.
Although I am an avid Ebayer I've learned that half the time it is more trouble than it is worth when selling clothes...
Well, here's a great solution. If you're like me you've probably hosted your own "Great Trade" with friends (with a bottle of wine, always makes it more fun!) but imagine a whole NEW closet to peruse, mostly higher end designers, too!
Give + Take Boutique is clothes swapping on a much higher level! Located in Playa Del Rey, for now they are only open 11am-6pm on weekends and by appt. other days. There is no money involved, other than a small membership fee, you gather points for your swaps so $100 for your designer J Brand skinny jeans garners $100 in points for that Eisley Sweater so you can swap equally!
Talk about a fair trade agreement, and not to mention it's totaly "green" ;-)
Enjoy!
