Rock & Swap Top 10: 2014

We really enjoy our “rock & swap” posts because that idea of swapping clothes with a friend and making something new again is where the idea of our business began (bistm & btgtf), motivating us to create an online experience where fashionistas (and kids!) alike can share clothes.
And let’s not forget the time we showed up a family party wearing the EXACT same outfit from head to toe (even the styling was the same!)…that’s when we decided, these things need to be documented somewhere ;) 
Here is our top 10 outfit swaps of 2014:(source)

Which rock & swap do you like best? Do you enjoy seeing how different pieces can be remixed?

Swap Not Shop

Whenever we ("need") a new shirt for an event or because we're tired of looking at our own wardrobes, Lisa and I text each other with, "time for a new swap?" It is so much more cost-effective to borrow a new piece of clothing from your best girlfriend or sister rather than rushing out to the mall to purchase an item you may only wear once. We also both swap quite a bit with other users on bistm which is fun a way to meet new people and update your clothes in the process.

To wear our love for swapping on our sleeve (or chest, in this case) we created another graphic T and HiCustom was perfect for customization and pricing. I loved wearing the T with jeans on a cool summer day and I know Lisa can't wait for it to show up in her swap bag ;)



Jacket: J. Crew (similar) // T: HiCustom // Jeans: LOFT // Shoes: Old Navy // Purse: Persun // Glasses: Target



And then I swapped my jean jacket for the warmth of this cute 4-legged friend...

Do you ever swap clothes with someone close to you?
