Description:

Don't lie - we all have those secret stashes of things we want in the back of our minds... clothes we want but we cannot possibly afford... shoes and accessories that would be wonderful, but are sadly unnecessary....

Forget the rules. Forget money limits. Forget all that. Pretend someone gave you a week to find all the clothes and accessories you want and they will buy them for you, no questions asked.

You have a week from the end of sign-ups 'til you have to send... obviously can send before that, but play along... to gather together 5 complete outfits (top and bottom and/or dress, shoes, and some accessories) and 25 random things that you want ((in pictures cough)). Feel free, and you are encouraged to, send more!

You can cut these pictures out from magazines, catalogues, or take the pictures yourself. Grab them from online if you want. Arrange them onto sheets of paper or a giant collage, whatever medium you want to use... and send them to your partner. Remember, 25 random things (shoes, shirts, dresses, hair accessories, bracelets, belts, handbags, earrings, skirts, jackets, pants, anklets... whatever you can wear on your body!) and 5 complete outfits. Mail them to your partner (you'll have just 1) in whatever way you choose. With each (or at least most) of these items, list a small description of why you love it. Also, MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE the place you found it (website or store name) and the PRICE.

At the end of the "shopping spree", list the total amount you would spend if you bought EVERYTHING there.

So, to make sure this is clear, this swap contains:

  • 25 pictures of articles of clothing, accessories, etc. that you wish you could own
  • 5 complete outfits (in pictures) consisting of a top/bottom, shoes, and a few accessories
  • A price and store name/website for each picture, and a description of why you love the item for at least 80% of the pictures
  • A final price, a grand total, at the very end of your presentation

However you format it is up to you - make a poster, make a booklet, just glue pictures to paper - however you want.

Mail it to your partner by June 28th (my first anniversary) and you're all good!

Fine print: This swap is international! No newbies on this swap - sorry guys! There are TONS of newbie-friendly swaps on here. Come back after you get a few fives. :) Since this is a swap that will take a LOT of time, I'm going to be really harsh with judging profiles. If there are one or more UNEXPLAINED no-sends, you can't be in the swap. IF you know that you have questionable ratings, please send me a message right when you sign up so that you can explain your situation. I'd hate to ban you for a mistake or an unfair rating just because I didn't understand. Communication is your friend.

That's it! Enjoy this swap! I can tell it's gonna be a LOT of fun! ^_^

I signed up and then dropped, but I think I'm going to go for it and re-sign up. Its a lot of work, but I think it will be really really fun, and I'm constantly drooling over clothing that is wayyy to expensive for me. So I'm re-signing up and sticking to it this time!

Yay!! Glad to have you, Rosehips!! :)

This might also be a good opportunity for you to find new outfit combinations, new clothes you like.. ^_^ Plus release some shopping frustration at lack of funds

Haha

This is a lot of (fun) work! I have been nannying for my nieces and I fear that I've been ignoring them and looking at clothing all day long! Well not quite all day, but still. Anyways, I am almost done putting everything together.

Oooh fun! I haven't even started because I know it'll take me HOURS with how much I love this stuff... drool I have a box in my room where I cut out things I want and I put them in there so I don't run off and waste all my money... hahahaha.
