This idea might not appeal to guys as much as it will appeal to girls, but it has potential to help you save a ton of money on clothing. I’m married, and I know the deal with clothes and women. You love clothes. You love looking cute. You love having multiple options for mutliple occasions at different stages and moods of your life. However, some clothing that you buy never makes it onto your body. You might wear it once and never wear it again. eBay has lost its luster and it’s been flooded with cheap products. It’s hard to sell your clothes on the internet now, but it’s too tough to give it away since you paid $75 for it.
The Solution
Throw a party. Tell all of your friends to come over and bring the lightly used clothes that they longer want or need. Set up different bins categorized for tops, pants, shorts, and dresses. Then, eat some food and try on other people’s clothes. It’s a great way swap clothing, get some “new” stuff, and not spend a dime doing it. Make sure that everyone who comes over contributes clothing to the party. You don’t want moochers coming over just to snag some free clothes.
