Last week I had the pleasure of attending the last Skip Fashion Exchange for the year! I had read many write ups about the event and was so thrilled when I received my invite! Not only to attend the event but because it was my very FIRST event as a fashion blogger! :) Both excited and nervous I was so grateful to be apart of it!
The event was held at the illustrious The Forum, Turbine Hall. Upon arrival, attendance was checked and we were greeted with a glass of bubbly.
I was also told to "keep your boyfriend on a leash tonight because he may be the ONLY male here" hahaha. That definitely wet to his head quickly lol.
There were several stations ahead with which your items were carefully inspected and selected for the exchange. Each lady was required to bring 3 or more items from their closet which they do not wear anymore, all of which were of high quality and not damaged.
Once the items were inspected, we received a card documenting the amount of items brought and with which we were allowed to exchange for.
From there we proceeded to get our pictures taken and view other little pop up shops on the way to the main hall.
Here I saw some stunning designs and merchandise from our local ladies.
Once we entered the beautifully decorated hall and were seated, the fun really began! The event was MC'd by the stunning Bonang Matheba and entertained by the amazingly talented Shoo Wop Shop. And it didn't stop there! We got to enjoy a delicious three course meal and received some style inspiration for Spring and Summer from a top fashion expert herself, Alexis Chaffe!
Some ladies in the audience even got the chance to walk away with some of the beautifully styled outfits!
Once dinner was completed, IT WAS THE MOMENT WE HAD ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
TIME TO SHOP!!!
Some ladies whom had attended the events before had already started making their way to the back section where all the exchanged items had been kept. I, on the other hand, was not aware of the mad rush towards the clothes and thus had to join the crowd slowly making its way there. Once in, I made my way swiftly towards the colours on my Exchange Card, spotting a few amazing items. I had never thought of my "petiteness" and height as an advantage until this night! It made it so much easier to fit in the small crevices between the masses of ladies swarming the clothing racks and grab the items I had my eyes on!
What a thrill and adrenalin rush it was! And I managed to walk away with some pretty amazing items! :)
The event was beautifully organized and I had so much part-taking in such an event! It was really an amazing and fun-filled evening full of new and exciting experiences! Even my boyfriend had fun! lol
Thanks Skip for such a WOW evening!
If you're looking for something different and a great night out with your partner or girlfriends this event is definitely one to keep in mind!
