Clear out those drawers of shirts that pinch under your arms and jeans that hug inappropriately tightly. Empty the closets of scarves, gloves and jackets that looked great in the store but never worked right when you got them home. Gather them all up and throw yourself a clothing exchange party.

I got a great bag, jean purse and cashmere scarf out of it!
Best of all, everyone benefits. You’re able to get cool new clothes for free, save the landfills, make your girlfriends happy and you get a “girls night” out of it.
