swordsgal27

hi guys
ive a wardrobe full of fab dresses mostly size 12 and it really bugs me i love them all but cant bring myself to wear one more than 3 times MAX ive very good taste and wondering if anyone in similar sit wants to have a swap ?????? im still buying and just cant afford it anymore im sure someone else ot there has the same disease as me hehe if so we can trade pics or somethin and save a few quids ? i wouldnt concider any of mine worn or well worn , basically just too damn ashamed to be seen in it 3 times ? :eek:

I suggest that you find somewhere local to you that does a swap shop. I'm sure someone here can point you in the right direction.

swordsgal27

where would i find one ?? never heard of anyone doing it before any info be great hun , im runnin outta space and patience wit friends looking for "A LEND " and drive a nicer car than me :mad:

Toto Wolfcastle

Are you based in Dublin? Shebeen Chic on Georges Street used to do one. I'm not sure if they still do but I presume so. I'm not sure when it is on though. There are probably a few more around.

Jesus get over your self!ive worn dresses from penneys more than 3times so what?the celtic tiger is dead swallow your pride

Toto Wolfcastle

Play nice please.

irishvamp90

im giving some straight advice sorry.wear with with different things,customise them.sell them on ebay.if there expensive dresses your buying buy good ones that will last years

swordsgal27

Everyone to their own ok , thats just the way i am , PLUS i drink and socialise in the same places alot , nothing wrong with penneys either as i said everyone to their own , im no snob , i just love my clothes especially new stuff

swordsgal27

and thanks janey ill look into that post haste cheers

Well if you cant afford it as you said look at wearing things more,and your friends driving a nice car and being ashamed of wearing things more than 3 times comes across as very snobby.learn to customise,try accessories,hats,ebay is great for buying and selling,if your good qualify dresses you could wear them to events every year

swapshop templebar dublin,look it up on the net .www.swapshop.ie.you will get all the info there.good luck with your swaps.

Swop shop in temple bar is brill. The girl Adele who runs it is lovely and will keep you in mind if something comes in that she thinks you will like. She charges a small fee depending on the value of the item you are swapping. I've gotten some great stuff out of there.

www.swopshop.ie

Also there is a lovely second hand place in Howth that will sell your stuff for you.

Do a search on here for swapping as well. I'm sure I've heard a couple of other places in Dublin mentioned here.

hey swordsgal, i have your illness too!! but i put a load of bits on ebay recently. seven jeans, sendra cowboy boots, karen millen dress etc and sold them all. i was shocked how quickly they went.

would love to swap but not sure you'd be into the very few bits ive got left! what kind of style do you have??

tinkerbell

There was something on Xpose recently about a swap shop in Dublin, can't remember it though - maybe you should email them (the email address is on the TV3 website I think).

Anyway, wear your stuff more than three times! Accessorise them, etc. There's no shame in wearing things multiple times. And if you can't afford to keep buying stuff to fund your 3 wear rule, then you shouldn't have a 3 wear rule!

My friend sells loads of her clothes on ebay so maybe try that instead of a swap shop.

MonicaBing

Ive just come over all goosepimply!! Any chance you have any wrap dresses in your treasure trove?

RacoonQueen

A girl I went to college with once nearly had a heart attack when I suggested she wear the same dress a second time. I'm glad I'm not 'girly'.

how about we start a for sale thread on the fashion forum

Not going to happen. Sorry. There's far too much involved in policing that. www.adverts.ie is there if people want to sell clothes and if there isn't a section there for that you can contact one of the mod (smashey for instance) to get one set up.

irishvamp90

oh right thought it be a good idea!I never heard of adverts.ie is it run by boards?fashion section would be popular i bet:)thanks janey could you say it on our behalf

smashey

Anybody wishing to sell clothes can post on adverts.ie and the general for sale section would be the place for it. Your boards account will also work there.

Just make sure to familiarise yourselves with the rules first.

I like the idea of the swop shop. I've got a wedding coming up and I need a dress for it. Must take some stuff up there and check it out.
