2nd Annual Recessionista’s Closet
Family Friendly Clothing Swap Returns to Dallas in 2010 with a Different Twist
Dallas, TX- On September 25, 2010 Dallas will welcome back its largest clothing swap event ever with an even greater community impact.
Lifestyle and Image Consultant Talisa Lavarry created this annual event in 2009 in order to help families and also to promote green living in Dallas. Not only will this year’s event benefit The Dallas International Street Church, organizers are proud to announce that members of the organization that are currently in reform will be a part of the planning and administration. This community fostering event will take place at Excuses Art Bar & Cafe in Dallas, TX Saturday September 25, 2010 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. Participants will be allowed to bring as many items as they’d like to trade and enter as many times throughout the day as they’d like as long as they enter with at least one item to contribute to the swap.
The Swap expo will feature trunk shows and several mini fashion shows hosted by local Vintage Apparel and Accessory dealers. Organizers are excited about using members of The Dallas Street International Church as models in the event as it not only exposes them to culture it gives them an opportunity to be put on display in a positive light while increasing their self-esteem.
“There are no words to explain the excitement I feel about partnering with The Dallas International Street Church this year. This truly encompasses all of my passions and gives me the opportunity to teach and encourage; all in the name of Fashion,” says Lavarry, Event Coordinator.
The event was well received on last year and the request for a repeat has been overwhelming. Lavarry attributes the high-level of interest in the Swap and Expo to tough economic times and the success that so many had in finding great clothes on last year.
All clothing that is left after the swap will be donated to The Dallas International Street Church. Admission to this event is free, however; a $5 donation is requested at the door.
