Have you heard about the new series of events here in Chicago aimed specifically at frugal, fashion-forward, full-figured fashionistas???? Well, since I’m one of the creators, I’m going to tell you ALL about it!

Introducing….

Chic Swaps is a totally new–classier–take on clothing swaps. Struggling through piles of dusty, old-fashioned clothing covered in cat-hair is NOT my idea of a good time. But…I have a ton of cute, fashionable clothes in perfect condition–some that have never been worn before!–and I just can’t bring myself to get rid of them. Are you like me?

Well, that’s why I came up with this idea…I want to send my gently used, still-stylish clothes to a good home, and I would love to find some new items to perk up my wardrobe! And, I want to spend an evening gabbing  with other curvy fashionistas, sipping on some wine, snacking on sweet treats, and picking up some new shoes and jewelry at vive la femme and violette shoe salon! Doesn’t that sound like fun???

Read more about the logistics of the event here.

Here’s the thing, though…we only have spots for 30 chic swappers, and tickets are sold according to size. So, if you want to join me and swap shop in style, you must first Add Your Name to the Invite List.

Before every event, an exclusive invitation will be sent out with a link to purchase tickets (only $15!). Once all 30 spots have been filled, that’s it until the next swap!

The first swap is a Sweater Swap on February 19th at violette shoe salon (2031 N Damen). Invitations go out soon, so add your name to the list SOON!

Can’t wait to see you there!!!
