"It's basically a way for you to swap out your whole wardrobe for $25," explains Heather Okimoto, co-owner of the Denver Swap Shop. "It's a full fashion day -- we're going to have a hair stylist, a makeup artist, a nail artist. It's all included."
It works like this: Sign up this week and schedule a drop-off of some of your gently used clothes by August 17. The Swap Shop's experts will go through your stuff and figure out what can move and issue you a bunch of "swap dollas" to use at the event on August 21, when you can cash in those "dollas" for new-to-you threads.
Need a little help with your new look? Don't worry, the Swap Shop will have a pair of local fashion bloggers on hand for consultation; there will also be hair, makeup and nail experts ready to top off that new you. All the clothing is priced under $10, and if your trade-ins can't quite get you there, you can also use traditional currency to make up the difference.
The event runs from noon to 7 p.m. Thursday, August 21, in the Create Showroom at Metro State University of Denver, 890 Auraria Parkway, Suite 120. Admission is $25 presale and $30 at the door, and includes $5 worth of credit. The deadline for clothing drop-offs is August 17, so don't dawdle.
