Chiara gets lucky
Just a reminder that we have another Pretty Pretty Pretty party coming up, at my house at 3pm on Saturday October 17 (add yourself to it on Facebook here). We hope you’re cleaning out your closet in anticipation, because a big part of that party, as well as of course sharing and enjoying sugary & boozey treats and favourite products, is the clothing swap. Because there were so many girls last time, it got pretty chaotic, so here are a couple of guidelines to make things run a little smoother.
- Clothes will be sorted in Small, Medium, Large and Plus piles. There will be girls in your size coming along. Check out photos from last time if you want more evidence of the range of PPP readers.
- There will also be a Special Good pile, in which you can put any designer items or clothes you’re really attached to, that we can all go through together instead of having a big free-for-all on, because I know last time some girls got into the clothes before anyone else had a chance, and people didn’t see who ended up loving the things that they’d previously loved before. The first time we had a clothing swap we went through all the clothes together and it was really lovely. I’m thinking there may be too many people and too many clothes to do that for all items, but if something has been really precious to you, then you deserve to see where it ends up, yes? Yes.
- All leftover clothes that aren’t claimed will be donated to charity.
- Bring accessories and beauty products that you don’t want anymore as well, and we’ll find them a good home.
Any questions? Comments? Testimonials from people who’ve come before as to how much fun it is and what awesome stuff you’ll end up with? I’d also just like to state again that I have met some lovely awesome new friends through the PPP parties, and I think you will too!
Might be a nice idea to pass on the “left overs” to one of those groups that are collecting for Samoa?
That’s a most excellent idea. Will we get to meet you?
brilliant idea. btw last time I can away from the PPP clothes swap with a World skirt, a Ruby hoodie, and a bunch of other pretty clothes that I have worn and worn.
It certainly gave me warm fuzzies to see my leopard print gumboots be snapped up last time(i’d never worn them). Also , at the risk of sounding creepy, I think I’ve seen you in that Ruby hoodie Amy, made me feel much less wasteful (it had been hanging around making me feel bad for ‘outgrowing’ it for a while)!
I wish you’d bought those gumboots in a 12, Meg, so I could wear them to roller derby…
Meg, funny you’ve seen me in that hoodie. I had a green Ruby one that I ‘outgrew’ so when I inherited your black one I was super stoked. I love it love it love it.
Had a blast at the last time — and made some great new friends out of it. I highly, highly recommend going, even if you don’t know anyone there (or you think you don’t, then you realize the hostess is a girl you met in line for the bathroom at the steampunk party at the Moorings’… well, that’s what happened to me!).
what an awesome idea! I am sure I can find a pile of things for this
Excellent idea.
Wonderful goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you’re just too great. I really like what you’ve acquired here, really like what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it wise. I can’t wait to read far more from you. This is really a terrific website.
