fashion:

We’ve all stood in front of our closets, sighing and flustered, right before a big event thinking that with all the clothes in hanging in front of us… somehow, we still have nothing to wear. Walking down any street in Austin, or going downtown on a weekend night can bring about jealousy towards the person next to you with the better outfit on, and questions loom over where they got that great dress. Now is that time to fix your fashion crisis by finishing up the Modern Home Tour and spending Saturday early evening at Beauty Bar for the Austin Rock N’ Swap clothing party. All is takes is bringing 10 gently-used items you’re looking to trade for entry (or $5), and you’ll be able to drink, find new-to-you recycled fashion, and help a good cause.

The event is sponsored by Austin Eavesdropper and The Year of Living Thiftily’s shop Magnolia Family Vintage. Austin Eavesdropper is the Austin lifestyle blog of Tolly Moseley, who for the past 3 years has chronicled her daily life  including posting photography of her neighborhood, interviewing local artists, musicians, and people of interest, or reviewing the newest restaurant in town.  She is known for hosting The Austin Bleet-up (Blogger Meet-Up Party) and other events combining music and Austin culture, which give those attending the event new and interesting ways of not only going to a party, but also interacting and befriending others with similar interests. Sara Dean, who started The Year of Living Thiftily, started her blog to document her daily outfit posts on recycled fashion much to the delight of readers looking to spend less, but still look good. With all the praise received in favor of her thrift store treasures, she also began an online vintage clothing store, which will also be setting up shop at the party for those looking to browse for vintage finds.
