Clothes swap

On Sunday i collected together some clothes i no longer,or in some cases had never worn along with a few pairs of shoes and set off for my first ever fat swap. The concept is great and it was the first swap i'd ever been to, for those of you who don't know what a clothes swap is you take items you no longer love and swap for ones that you do. Everyone brought plenty of things and looking through the rails and tables there was something for everyone and every taste. I just want to take a second to thank everyone that was involved in the swap you made it a really great day!
So here's what i wore, now a few of you may have seen this before i was my first ever ootd back when i started my blog but its such a nice dress and so comfy that i wanted to show you all again. The dress is from SimplyBe i looked on the website but it doesn't seem to be available, I'm not surprised by this as the dress is so great and i did buy it 4 months ago.

I wore the dress with my primark headscarf,Irregular Choice robot bag and the glass chain and ring are from lifes big canvas. 

I got quite a few bits from the swap here's a sneak peek of what i got, my favourite being a beautiful red coat just like my nan used to have so whoever brought it if your reading this then thank you.

I also got a few zines while i was there i think they are amazing and have almost finished reading them, even marvin approved. I also picked up Kirtsy's first steps to fat acceptance its great i think everyone should have a copy.

I had a great day, met lots of lovely people and got to see my clothes go off to new homes where I'm sure they will be very happy. I can't wait for the next swap!

Over the last few months through blogging, twitter and events that you great ladies have put on i have met lots of new people (online and irl), you all rock and i just wanted to tell you that. It's a great community and i have been welcomed with open arms and never been made to feel alone or uncomfortable and for that i love you.

I'll stop being all weird and gushy now :p

Have you been to any clothes swaps, did you get some amazing things like me ?
