Ruffian Swap: The Purse Addiction Continues

Yesterday, I had a chance to go to my first official swap with New Orleans own Ruffian Swap headed by the wonderful Rachael of Ordinarily Urbane. Ruffian Swap is an organized clothing swap bringing local fashionistas on a budget out to swap clothes, shoes and accessories. Swaps have always been around but definitely became more popular during the recession.  It's a great way to clear out your closet and get some new finds to add to your collection from contemporary to vintage. At this Ruffian Swap, I even saw a lady bring a vintage wedding gown worth over 4K. Two great finds I got at the swap was a cute purse and top.

Definitely check out some swap options in your area! Here are two options for online Swaps!
