Have you joined Mission: Put Together? If you haven’t, you should. I want to see your cute outfits. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Read about M:PT here or here. View the photo pool here (and be sure to enjoy the comments that my dad leaves for me). Check out our latest stats here.
So, I have really been enjoying M:PT this month. It’s made me stop and think about what I’m wearing, and I’ve been digging around in my closet to try out things I own but never wear. During my daily outfit hunt, I’ve come across a drawer full of accessories that I never wear. Some things I have integrated into my wardrobe, but others just aren’t me. But, perhaps they’re you? Thus, the idea of an accessories swap was born. Here’s what I’m proposing:
Those of us in M:PT (and those of us who aren’t) post pictures of accessories that we just don’t wear and would be willing to trade for something new and fabulous from a fellow blogger. Then, we all visit each others blogs and leave comments about things we are interested in. The owner of said coveted accessory will visit your site to see if you have something she likes. If you do…she’ll contact you to arrange a swap. I realize this could get complicated, so I think it’s important to note that it can be really open ended. You don’t have to swap — you could just pull names out of a hat to see who wins your prize.
If you are interested in participating, here’s what you need to do:
- Comment or e-mail me by Tuesday at 5 p.m. CST
- Post photos of your accessories sometime on Wednesday
I will post a linky list of everyone participating on Wednesday in addition to my photos. So, be sure and check back here for a complete list of who is participating!
Questions, comments, concerns? Let me know so I can clarify for the group! Have fun everyone!
I am so intrigued to see what everyone posts, Erin! Nice work!

I am very intrigued by this. Local Chicago bloggers were trying to put together a clothing/accessory swap but this is a great idea too!
So I just upload photos of my stuff to Flickr and check back to see what sites to check out for the items? It’s just accessories right?

I’ll do it. Should I post pictures on my blog or on flickr? I’ve got a drawer or two full as well!

Oh! I have to go dig through my drawers and see what I have to offer on Wednesday!

I’ll do it — I could really use some fresh accessories, and I have a handful of things that I never really use. Great idea, Erin!

Remmeber how I was like, “Guess what Erin! My feed reader automatically updated your blog for me?”
Well, I must have lied because your posts haven’t been coming through. I’ll fix that right now!

I just saw this on RA’s blog, and while I’m intimidated by the idea of being part of M:PT, I came over here to say that I would love to be part of the accessories swap.
