Swap to Shore


Swap events all seem to have something a little different about them - the location, the participants and the items they bring; every swap is unique. The Swap Uncapped event on Saturday near Fenway Park was one of the better swaps I've attended. The location was fantastic (if small), and it was packed with seriously fashionable Bostonians. At the end of the swap, everyone was going through their finds, and the room was filled with sounds of delight at all of our new treasures.


This dress was part of the second round (after everyone tries on their first finds and discards what they don't want). It was hanging all by itself on a rack; as soon as I saw it I knew I had stumbled upon a perfect beach cover up! You don't have to know what you are looking for at a swap, you just need to keep an open mind about the potential of the things you see.


Dress: Swapped

  3. @Lissy It was a pleasure to meet you in real life! I really enjoyed the aftermath where we all sat together and compared our finds. See you soon!

  4. @HollyDolly Right? That was bonkers. Michele from Michele's Musings was suggesting we do a smaller blogger swap, complete with snacks, etc. Maybe a little less "elbows out" and more chatting...?

  8. @Michele We all found some treasures at that swap - it was a good one! I think Najeema and Holly made the best finds of the day, although I seem to remember you picking up some good stuff, and LuvFromAfar picking up a pretty pink dress...PS - I owe my new awesome pants to you!
