Calling all Fashionista Recessionistas!

From the trendy threads on CofC Coeds to the classic style of the South of Broad set, a walk down King Street can feel more like a trip down the catwalk. We Charlestonians are so well dressed that Travel + Leisure magazine's America's favorite Cities 2010 issue named ours as one of the most stylish cities in America (not to mention the most attractive and friendliest city)! In this town it's nearly impossible not to covet your neighbors designer dress, vintage skirt, or killer bangles!

If, like me, you've ever dreamed of raiding the closets of the Holy City's best dressed, then you don't want to miss Style Swap! Wiliminton "Style Girl" Jess James is coming to town to host her famous eco-chic fashion swap this Thursday, December 2 from 7-9 p.m. at Seeking Indigo boutique at 445 King Street.

Here's how it works: First, buy a ticket online here for $20 (tickets are available fo $25 at the door). Second, gather one gently used designer or vintage garment (on a hanger, si vous plait) and one gently used accessory. When you get to the event get ready to swap your duds for anothers. Not only do you leave with some fabulous new-to-you fashions, but the money raised at the event goes to the Center for Women.


Here are some of the fashion festivities you can expect to enjoy at Style Swap:


• Sweet Treats from Cupcake, Baked, Wildflour Pastry and Sugar Bake Shop
• Wine from Social Wine Bar
• "Beauty Station" - mini makeovers with Cos Bar + Laura Mercier
• Networking with Charleston’s stylemavens including Style Swap emcee Tara Lynn from News 2
• Shop reinvented vintage jewelry from The Scarlet Poppy
• Sponsored "swap" outfits + fabulous prizes from your favorite boutiques and emerging designers
• Arrive in STYLE ready to be photographed by the official STYLE SWAP photographer, the uber-talented Valerie Schooling!
