Day 185 – A shop of swapping
The first event of 365 Dresses: The Mind Project! Am very excited, all who can attend will be extremely welcome, watered and well fed.
Opportunity to get new clothes at a swap shop event
A REPORTER who has been blogging about her quest to wear a different dress every day for a whole year is holding a clothes “swap shop”.
Miss O’Neill will be selling all the dresses to raise money for mental health charity Mind.
In an attempt to bolster dress supplies she will be having a clothing swap shop on Monday (July 16) at the Oat Hill pub in Kettering Road, Harborough.
Guests will have the chance to exchange unwanted or unworn clothes and accessories with “swappers”.
To participate bring one dress, size 10-12. Entry is £3 and includes drink and cake.
Anyone wishing to take part can bring as much or as little as they like but must leave with only as many items as they brought.
The event will start at 6.30 pm though swapping wont get started till 7.30, be there early to register.
Miss O’Neill said: “I’ve been to swap shops before and they are great fun but scary if you haven’t got your wits and elbows about you.”

- Today’s dress which looks as I have been told a little bit air hostess is from Florence and Fred. It has a great shape, tweaks in at the waist and with a blue and white vintage according to my mummy designer scarf looks quite lovely. Though you cannot see them I have matching shoes and in the right light have for the first time in my life caught a little colour on my legs, which is shallow but splendidly exciting for a person who lives in the pale.
