Sip & See Shopping Spree










Last night, I hosted a "shop my closet" event with a few friends. My mom actually came up with this brilliant idea, and it gave me the opportunity to get rid of a few things that I didn't love any more but others would!

Setting up an event like this is easy: clean out your closet {I did the take everything out and look at each piece one by one. Only put back the ones that you absolutely love/fit you/are in good condition/etc.}, invite your friends to do the same, grab some goodies, and pick a date! I borrowed a giant retail clothing rack from a friend, CJM helped organize all the non-hanging items, and I displayed some pretty goodies on the dining room table. It was so nice to be able to use a lot of my wedding gifts for the first time!

I used Canva to design my electronic invitation {it's also a great place to design blog graphics, too!} and blasted it on Facebook. I picked up a few napkins that coordinated with the pineapple summer-y theme of the invitation, and of course lots of pink treats! 

Have you ever hosted a "shop my closet" event? What made it successful for you?

    1. Ah the cake stand...I first saw at TJ Maxx last fall, didn't buy, then scoured the land to find one for the wedding. Was in HomeGoods in Savannah a few weeks ago where they had 75 of them, I swear! So somewhere like that, if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg!

  2. I LOVE this idea! Was it successful?? I'm doing a MAJOR closet clean-out and would much rather sell to my friends than the hassle of ebay/poshmark etc.

    1. I ended up selling more on Facebook/through texts from friends who knew I was having the event and asked what I had. I think next time I might try a private Facebook Group or even just a photo album on my page instead of a physical event. But I think a physical event could be successful! From a marketing standpoint, it definitely was!
