Shop for free and donate simultaneously. Happy Earth Day!

"The earth is what we all have in common"- Wendell Berry

      Happy Earth Day!!! Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. And have fun! Warm weather is here...well, there is torrential downpour outside as I type this...so inconsistent warm weather is here- yay! 

   I have a new favorite summer activity. It involves shopping for free and donating clothes simultaneously. Clothing Swap party! How appropriate for Earth Day. I experienced my first clothing swap party last year with my Ricciuti's ladies. 

     We spread all of the clothes on the lawn and "shopped" away. Not only were we finding amazing outfits for free, but we were able to enjoy each other's  company for free. We enjoyed the beautiful weather while sipping mimosas and eating a fruit crumble. I feel at times that we run out of ideas when it involves hanging out with our friends, so we decide to go to the bar. First of all, it's super expensive...second of all,  let's be more creative! I know, I sound like a granny...my friends call me that for a reason. 

                                      

     After hours of digging through adorable clothing...six trash bags filled with clothes remained. We donated them. I want to do this once or twice a year. It's a great way to empty your closet with stuff that just sits there. I'm a clothing and shoe hoarder. So clothing swap parties are super fun for me.  

Recycle and Donate. Oh yeah, and drink mimosas. K bye!
