Last week I hosted Swap Your Closet with ClosetDash Shop and it was a major success. Tickets sold out and the afternoon was full of fashion, fun and cocktails. If you couldn’t attend, here’s the recap.
The crowd varied from a mother and daughter duo to women in their 20s to 50s. But they were all looking to swap unwanted accessories and update their style.
Before the crowd descended upon ClosetDash Shop, we made sure to set the scene and have the giveaways on display.
We knew the ladies would need to keep their energy level up, so we provided light bites and sangria. Lost Vineyards is seriously one of my fave, super affordable {just $4} bottles of sangria.
As the crowd entered, the ladies presented their items to be swapped and looked around for the new to them pieces they wanted to take home.

Throughout the afternoon, we raffled off some amazing prizes, including gift cards from Housing Works, statement accessories from Frugal Finds NYC and handmade clay beaded jewels from Jilzara.

And some of the ladies were more than happy to show off their newly swapped finds.

Thanks again to everyone who came out. And be sure to check out my Facebook page for more photos from Swap Your Closet. The items that weren’t swapped during the event were donated to Housing Works.
I’ll be hosting another NYC event on December 6. Stay tuned for full details, but just a hint, it’s called Ready, Set, Thrift!
