Not long after attending my first Swap It and Tidy Up session I was invited to join a new website via facebook. Normally fairly suspicious of facebook invites as it involved fashion and shopping I decided to take a look and found it quite an interesting concept.
www.covertcandy.co.uk takes advantage of the current economic situation, customers are invited to trade clothes and accessories with no money being exchanged. It is all about credits, earning and spending them online to update and transform your wardrobe, regardless of the size of your bank balance.
All very well if you have anything worth swapping. I did notice, as with Swap It and TidyUp a considerable number of items from that well known high street stores - Primark - featuring.
Primark aside, I think I'm going to give it a go. Although, at this rate I'm going to run out of clothes to swap - I think I gave away all my good stuff a bit too eagerly at the first Swap It and TidyUp, but with a little discipline, this could all be the way forward in 2009.
