In this economic climate we must figure out a way to conserve our limited resources. We can remain fashionable without breaking the bank, and at the same time, do our part to help the environment. How can we do this? SWAP & CONSIGN. We are fortunate enough to live in a great city with many options for both, this group will help us narrow down the choices. It is our mission to share our "frugalista" finds. Let's make a vow to never again pay retail. We will host seasonal fashion SWAPS and CONSIGN …

Clothing Swap is all about 'green glamour' by gathering fashionable swappers together in a fun environment where they relax, mingle, get pampered and then SWAP (exchange) clothing, shoes and accessories and thus, happily augment their wardrobes in a "Girl's Night Out" atmosphere.
