So I have piles and piles of clothes at home that I don’t wear anymore/haven’t worn ever. I have clothes piled up in my room and I also have a room solely to store all my clothes. The other day, I was watching Giuliana and Bill and I got the idea that I should too have a clothing swap party with my girlfriends!

I thought more about it, and I thought it would be a good idea to use that clothing swap party idea as a fundraiser for my club Fashion Interest Group (FIG). Then this Sunday I went to Newsong Church in Irvine and they did a little presentation of how much Haiti is in desperate need of help. And Voila! It clicked to me: clothing swap party = fundraiser for Haiti!

So I made a facebook group, invited some people and hopefully it will be a good turnout. I mean who wouldn’t want to go to a clothing swap party? Get rid of clothes you don’t wear while you get somebody else’s cute clothes! All while you are doing good!

Here is the link to the facebook group:

I asked my 14 year old cousin Flor to make me the flyer because she is a lot more computer savvy than I am. I sent her some pictures and told her what to write. Once she was done with the flyer, she sent it to me and I noticed she added this at the bottom of the flyer “Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something”.

And this is my very first post for my blog!

Puss puss! (means kiss kiss in Swedish),
