A Twist to Swapping that May Help You Give/Get More + Mahogany Closet Mondays Fashion Link Up


You may remember I wrote a post a little while ago about utilizing clothes swapping to help extend your wardrobe. This beautiful cardigan sweater is another item I swapped/"borrowed" from a friend of mine. Have you ever tried to clean out your closet, have items that you haven't worn in a long time, but you still have a hard time getting rid of them. Sometimes I really have a hard time with this. My big sis came over once and was asking if I had cleaned out my closet and had anything to give. I had a couple of on the fence items. Items I hadn't worn in probably close to a year, but I still thought they were cute so I was having a hard time letting go of. She told me that if I gave the clothes to her and then at any point later, I decided I wanted any of the pieces back I could just let her know and she would give it back no problem. For me that opened up a whole level of freedom that allowed me to let go and give her a bunch more items. And now that they are actually out of my closet and it has allowed me to clear up that additional space I don't think I will be asking her for anything back, but it is nice to have that option. So maybe if you have a fashionable friend/family member you want to swap with, but either of you are having a hard time letting go, try initiating this give back clause and see if that helps. What do you think!


Budget outfit details: So the striped cardigan I got for free. The skirt I got from Old Navy a long time ago for $8. It's a black tank (tamis) that I am I'm wearing under the cardigan which isalso an old school Old Navy piece and cost $8. The strappy sandals I got from GoJane.com for $16. So for a grand total of $32, I think that is an amazing deal!
