Swap 'Til You Drop.

The details are finally here! Thanks SO MUCH to the marvelous, fabulous Emily from Anomaly and Underbelly for hosting this event and really helping to bring it together. Another special thanks to the equally awesome Torrey for jumping in and getting involved! I am really excited about this. Not only will everyone get a chance to get some great new clothes FOR FREE [with participation], but all remaining clothes [or any that aren't suitable for the swap but you want to donate] will be donated to a really deserving charity... the Hubbard House!



THE FIRST EVER ANOMALY LADIES CLOTHING SWAP
Wednesday February 9, 2011

It’s a new year!  Time to clean out those closets and spruce up your wardrobe at the same time.   Anomaly/Underbelly will be hosting a clothing swap for the ladies of the neighborhood.


The guidelines are as follows:

• Drop off your gently used or new clothing, purses, jewelry, belts, scarves and shoes at Anomaly the between Monday Jan 31st-Monday Feb 7th.  Items must be dropped in advance so we have time to organize everything!


• A volunteer will go through the items and select the creme de la creme to have at the swap.  We will go through the items you’ve brought in and give you tickets for the items we are going to accept for the swap. We may take them all or we may only take a few so bring your good stuff!


• We are looking for contemporary boutique clothing and designer brands.  No Abercrombie, Gap, Old Navy, and the like will be turned down…


• Bring hangers if you can. We will provide some but as this is the first time, we have no idea how many items we’ll have.


• For each item you bring you will earn one ticket which will enable you to “purchase” another item up for “sale” at the swap.


• Luxury items will have a separate section and will be dealt with on a case by case basis depending on what it is, quality, etc…


• We will have designated areas for each section: tops and pants, dresses and skirts, shoes, bags and jewelry/accessories and will organize everything so you don’t have to.


• The swap will commence promptly at 7:30. Wear clean underpinnings since you will probably be almost nudie among new friends (strangers).


• Tickets can be traded between customers as necessary. No fighting over items. All is full of love at Anomaly. Additional tickets can be purchased for a donation to the Hubbard House!


• After the swap, all remaining clothes will be donated to the Hubbard House- all the hangers stay at Anomaly.


• Everyone goes home happy, remixed and more fashionable, plus you’ll be able to grab a beverage at Underbelly too!

This is going to be awesome. Get pumped and spread the word! I already know people who have collected their items. And remember, you can bring additional items to be donated for charity that won't be included in the swap. Let's give some other very deserving people some great "new" clothes while we are at it!
