National swap day is about raising awareness of the environmental impact of the fashion industry as well as providing a great opportunity to consider the environment by recycling our unworn or unwanted clothing.
This was my first time at a Clothing Exchange event, which surprises me given my love of recycled clothing and op shopping. Sadly for me, I flew out the door early with a full day of styling ahead of me and left my juicy pile of clothing to swap on the kitchen table.
With no chance to nick home to retrieve it, I had to simply observe the frenzy of clothes shoppers.
With all my spare, non bargain hunting time, I had the opportunity to chat and take sneaky peeks at what others were buying. It was a generous spirited event, with no elbows being thrown or tussling over garments. Although the shoppers were swift, they were kind and pleasant to each other, which was a fantastic change to many of the events I have attended in the past. Props to The Clothing Exchange for a very well organised event.
