Blogger Clothing Swaps & Reunions

August 10, 2011

On Sunday, I attended my first blogger clothing swap, which was a delightful afternoon of champagne and pretty clothes hosted by the lovely Cee. It was great to see new faces (Cee, Cara and Louise), along with the familiar (my dear friend Mina). Afterward, I took the opportunity to catch up with Mina over dinner since she just returned from a trip to Japan and Romania (lucky girl!). From the day I ended up borrowing three new-to-me pieces that have me so excited; I can’t wait to style them and show you the looks!

Wearing: Forever 21 top, Zara skirt, Club Monaco belt, Coach flats, MICHAEL Michael Kors bag, BCBGMAXAZRIA headband and bracelet

    Clothing swaps totally freak me out. I guess if you’re swapping permanently, it’s different, but I don’t see anything in my closet worth giving away. I want to keep EVERYTHING. (Except for the suits. I can do without those.)

    I can’t believe you gave that amazing art deco print skirt away! Next time you think about doing that, send it my way! I’ll take it! 🙂

    Hi Jen! I absolutely fell in love with your friend’s red shoes in the first photo. Do you happen to know the brand by any chance? 🙂
