Look Book: Swirl Swap Swop

After a nice morning swim and yummy Thai lunch, Moe Moe and I trotted down to Swirl’s shop with a few shopping bags with our clothes on a lovely Saturday. We were clothing swopping virgins and it was interesting to suddenly go “ooh? what? dig now? ahhh! I want!” I managed to grab four random items and I think Moe Moe got three. Not bad eh? That was fun! I forgot my cupcake, haha. Anyway here’s what I wore today:

Top: Little flowers print blouse from HK

Bottom: Capri pants from Esprit

Bag: Red logo handbag from Guess

Shoes: Pink patent flats from Mondo

Belt: I can’t remember!

Okay. I got a couple of comments from close friends of mine that my blouse looks very ‘aunty’. It has little flowers, and it can be poufy if I don’t wear my belt. So, TELL ME HONESTLY… does it really look ‘aunty’? Maybe I am ‘aunty’… I like flowers, but I don’t think anyone likes my top. What do you think?

This Weekend: Swirl Swap Swop & Black Market FRESH

Swirl Swap Swop, Saturday (19 April, 2pm)

This weekend is going to be F-U-N. Fash-E is going to Swirl Swap Swop hosted by the lovely, Swirl Girls. It’s happening this Saturday, 19 April at 2pm - so start spring cleaning! If you’re unfamiliar with the entire concept (swirl swap swop what?)… the Swirl Girls wll give you the 101 on this fun, cupcake madness event:

  • Spring clean your wardrobe. Be ruthless.
  • Stuff a shopping bag full of clothes you no longer fit into, fashion disasters and impulse buys. Someone else will love them, we promise.
  • Come by the Swirl boutique on the day of the Swirl Swap Swop.
  • Empty your bags into a giant pile with the cast-offs from other swoppers, who, needless to say, have extraordinarily good taste since they are Swirl Girls.
  • Rummage through the pile and grab those items you fancy. No cat fights, please.
  • Clothes not taken at the end of the swop can be brought home and the rest will be donated to charity. We have donated all clothes from the swops to Beyond Social Services, the flood victims in Kota Tinggi, Malaysia, and the needy in Ulu Tiram, Johor.
  • Return home with fabulous finds. Mission accomplished.
  • Remember, it’s all free!

Sounds good? Just drop the girls an email at shop@ilovetoswirl.com to let us know how many of you and your gal friends would like to join in.

Black Market FRESH (20 April, 10am to 5pm)@ 8D Dempsey Road

Roving around the same flea circuit month after month? Seasoned jaded bargain hunter a bit sick of it all? Then let us hit that refresh button hard. We swear by a heavy fresh crop of 100% virgin vendors shyly putting up their warez on their first social outing. Pluck up flowers, salads, vegetables, fruits, get jammed and go nuts at this Sunday Market with Gran. Say your minutes worth on the Black Graffiti Board and swig in rare Black Lychee Martinis.
