Clothing Swaps Suck Hardcore according to Jezebel.com, but after reading several of the "horror" stories we disagree and have decided to have our own clothing swap. Read this.... What a great opportunity to check out just how tacky and unfashionable your friends can be, and why no pictures? That would be the best part. Maybe even a post-swap fashion show with all your new apparel. We haven't hammered out the details yet, but be on the lookout for more information soon. We promise to take plenty of pictures of the event!"Some of my coworkers organized a clothing swap: big mistake. It was like the worst of all worlds – not friends, but not strangers either. We were all being super-polite to each other, and th pressure was on to take something from everyone, just to be collegial. I ended up with all this stuff I didn’t want at all, just because I didn’t want to offend these people I have to see every day. This one woman kept being like, 'I'm sure you're all too stylish to want anything of mine,' so then of course we all had to take her skorts and Christmas sweaters. The worst part was, since we all worked together, we were hyper-aware of what everybody was wearing and not wearing in the coming weeks. This one girl actually said to me, 'I notice you haven’t worn that vest I brought to the clothing swap. That was a really expensive vest, you know.' Result: we all walked around in these totally bizarre outfits for, like, a month, until the sensitivity had died down."
