Two weeks ago Voucher Codes<\/a> held another of their awesome Swap Shop events, where everyone brings 5 items of clothing they no longer wear & exchanges them for stamps to shop the rails full of pieces from the other guests, plus some brand new items donated by brands too. You may remember that last time<\/a> I had so much fun & was keeping my fingers crossed for another soon, so I was full of excitement when I got the email from Fleur saying they were holding another!<\/p>\n

I headed down with Emma<\/a>, Sarah<\/a> & Sara<\/a> and took one of my best friends Nat along with me too. Last time I spent ages picking pieces up, checking the size & fabric before deciding whether to take it off the rail, I only ended up with 2 pieces & though they were really great items, I knew I probably missed out on some good stuff as I was too slow. This time I decided to just pick up anything black that looked remotely like it’d fit me & I waddled off to the changing area with a whole mountain of black! <\/p>\n

It paid off & I was super pleased with what I bagged, a Stella McCartney wool jacket, an ASOS maxi dress (which I almost didn’t bother to try on, but it turned out to be my favourite piece!), an AllSaints dress I nearly brought myself a couple of years ago & a skeleton print Topshop dress that Nat picked up for me, I can’t wait to do some outfit posts with them! Nat took home a draped black jacket & Whistles dress that I picked up but that looked much better on her, a kimono, two pairs of shoes and a Banana Republic cashmere jumper. We also both had a few stamps left over so we put them together & picked Nat’s mum up two brand new Linea lace dresses that House of Fraser<\/a> had donated. It was nice to see that everyone had brought along so much great stuff, there were lots of real gems here & I love that people were happy to let go of these things & bring them along to swap. It’s true though, what’s the point in having a beautiful, expensive dress hanging in your wardrobe if you never wear it? I’m sure everyone went home with at least a few pieces they really loved. <\/p>\n

After the madness of rummaging through the rails, we sat down with a few cocktails & yummy spicy mac ‘n’ cheese from Anna Mae’s<\/a> whilst looking over what we’d scored & catching up with everyone else. Like last time the atmosphere was super fun & friendly, everyone was drinking, chatting & having a great time, the changing area was buzzing with girls giving each other advice & telling each other how great pieces looked, people were swapping items that didn’t suit with others who wanted them & picking things up they knew would be perfect for someone else to pass on to them too. We had the best time & I am already looking forward to the next, it’s easily become one of my favourite annual events!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
