The Swap: At 4:15 p.m., the doors to the swap will open. Tables and clothing racks will be sorted and labeled by type of clothing and size, from extra small to plus size. To avoid waiting in line, you can drop off your items anytime from 2–3:45 p.m.
Try your luck by bringing in seven or more stylish items that can be anything from like-new clothing to shoes and accessories. In return, you’ll be able to exchange it for seven new-to-you items from other fashionistas. Embrace some more good fortune by bringing “lucky” designer jeans (Lucky Brand, True Religion and Seven for All Mankind). For each pair, you will get two more items to take home.
This season’s Swap and Shop will benefit two local non-profits, Good Girls DC and Martha’s Outfitters. Good Girls DC’s goal is to create a place where like-minded Catholic women can find fellowship, friends and networking opportunities while encouraging each other to live up to their God-given potential. Martha’s Outfitters’ mission is to transform lives by engaging the community in developing sustainable solutions to poverty. So not only will you look great in your new wardrobe, but you’ll feel great too, knowing that a portion of the proceeds goes towards these wonderful causes.
