Clothing Swap?

[helenahhandbasket]

This might be totally out there, but would anyone be interested in doing a clothing swap?  We had a couple of threads about kids clothing lately, so I am wondering if anyone is game.

I know some of our kiddos are relatively close in age-- not sure how this would work, but maybe we could say the sizes we are looking to get rid of and the sizes and types of clothing we are looking for?

Anyone ever organized one of these before?

[helenahhandbasket]

Or maybe even a clothing swap for us grown up people???

In HS every few months I would get together with a few friends and we would trade clothes. It was really fun and a good way to update/ get some new stuff without spending $$$. I have a ton of stuff that needs to be rehomed!

I'd be interested in participating, but not right now. More like in a couple months, because I'm holding out to see if my SIL is going to find out the sex of her baby because I told her I'm unloading clothes on her if it's a girl lol.


ETA: I'd likely only participate in a kid's clothing swap.  It's going to be hard for me to participate because I'm short and plus sized.

I'd love to do adult but I'm pretty sure no one is my size. Aren't most of you guys pretty short?

This. Gotta find out if my SIL will be taking my stash of boy stuff or not.

eyenigh 5ft2. I'd say yes to the the short thing.

[helenahhandbasket]

Cool-- yes-- maybe this is something we can revisit RE: kids stuff.

eyenigh, I am 5'3", but maybe we can also include things like accesories-- fun jewelry, bags, sunglasses and anything else non sized.

Also-- I am short, but have the torso of a 6 foot tall man (only semi kidding) so all of my tops and jackets are "regular" as opposed to petite.

I might be interested in this.

I might be interested in baby clothes, but I'm over 5" 9' and plus so....

Me & BostonKisses can swap clothes!

[violette]

I would love to participate in a kids' clothing swap!

[BostonKisses]

lol namastebiotches! If I had enough to swap, I'd swap with you. I cleaned out big time in May before we listed our house, so I'm down to everything I actually wear regularly and all that. Whomp whomp.

I might be interested in swapping kid stuff. I think I'm too picky to swap adult clothes - plus I am fashion-challenged, so I don't think anyone would be too interested in most of my stuff!

[skategirl128]

I would be interested in both! I'm short though too- only 4 foot 10, but accessories and stuff could be lots of fun! I have lots of those things to contribute to the cause too!

I definitely have boys clothes I can get rid of! I'd love to send some to any of you!

[helenahhandbasket]

Great-- I am glad there's some interest in the kids stuff at least-- I have so much girls 18-24-2t stuff in great condition that I'd love to give someone.

Maybe I will do some thinking on how to organize and check back in a few weeks?

If it works out-- maybe we could even do toys/ books?

I can't get rid of baby clothes yet, but I have lots of my clothes that I need to offload. Lots of those pre-baby size 8s I'll never be able to wear again that are laughing at me from my closet. I'm 5'2.5" so right between short/regular pants sizes. I'm about to pack up a box for goodwill so let me know!

sandandsea we actually might be a good match for a swap then!  I am about 5'3" and a 6-8 bottom right now, but have a lot of petite size 10 jeans and pants and tops/ jackets in large that aren't working for me right now and I just don't have the space.  I also have seventy million dresses.

I have been trying to go thru my stuff one day a week because the clutter is making me crazy.

Lots of 4T! Believe it or not we just outgrew that size. We might have to meet up sometime

I'd definitely be interested in kid clothes but I don't think there be enough people wanting my smaller size clothes since my collection only goes up to 18 mo. size at this point.
Eta: meaning, since we're oad there's more supply than demand for the small clothes haha
