BARTER PARTYS YOUR WAY TO FAB NEW GEAR

It's about that time again when I need to clean out my closet and I can't help but reminisce on the brilliant way I got rid of my old gear about four months ago. No other than a barter party! 

Whats a barter party? 
You trade in your goods for other goods! I know...GENIUS!


Thats right round up all the things you have been holding on to and have not worn. You know the items i am talking about, Every time you go to your closet you skim right through them, some of these pieces you swear you are going to wear again. But why havn't they been worn?
Last barter party i got rid of over 30 pairs of shoes, shirts, purses, dresses, accessories. Literally over 3 huge bags of clothes. I was excited, nervous, and ready to barter. About six friends got together, some girls brought only 6-12 pieces others like myself needed a tow truck to park my belongings. 


I started to feel possessive of things I said I wanted to give away. So in a moment of sellers remorse I made a pact. "IF there is anything given away in this barter party and we just can stop thinking about it, the seller agrees to return it to it's rightful owner" This brought down a lot of stress at the party.  (  I never looked back, I knew they were going to be taking care of )

So what did I leave the barter party with??  FOUR AMAZING, FIERCE, TIMELESS PIECES! Not only are these clothing items beautiful, these are Pieces of clothing I hold so dear to my heart because I know at one time was special to my friends! When I visit my friends I try to wear these pieces and there eyes just light up. " You like it! oh it looks so great on you! Its been hanging in my closet for years. I'm so happy to see it being worn!"

So how to start a barter party?


All you need is at least one other person to do a barter party! I suggest hosting it at someones home. Be sure to have delicious assortment of  refreshments, healthy colorful foods, and  come with a big huge smile because your going shopping with out spending a  dime!!
