End-of-the-summer de-cluttering - clothing swap

I think it is time for me to do a little house cleaning and get rid of all the clothes I am not wearing very much (if at all) and shoes that I keep hoping will become comfortable and will suddenly fit my fit correctly. I really don't shop much but somehow I have accumulated things in the last year. So I am going to try to head out to the next clothing swap (see below). Maybe I can get some work clothes (something that I usually avoid buying) and other things I am running low on.

Loren also sent out this reminder:
This is our first "after work hours" swap so I wanted those of you who work a regular business type day to know that it's fine to come anytime between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00. I expect there to be lots of dribbling in as people get off of work at various times so I'm sure there will be plenty swapping still going on at 7:00 and later.

Also, for anyone still with questions about "how this works" it's good to know that you can bring a little and take a lot, or bring a lot and take a little - whatever suits you. Swapping is not a one-to-one barter situation, just a free give and take with no strings attached! Beautimous!

This swap also accepts small, non-clothing items like books and cd's, unused toiletries, small household items, so bring some if you like. I'll also be starting a discussion on the site about what kinds of things people are bringing and what they'd like to find, so if you'd like to share this info with the group that would be great!
