Want to go green, get better than great deals and share a special shopping experience with your girlfriends – all in one location?

Then join us on August 6th for the Frock Swap, taking place in the Sears Gallery at Elgin Academy. You and your friends will be able to frugally shop high-end fashions. Aside from a wide array of great deals on stylish fashions, shoppers will be able enjoy a quick dinner or snack at our café.

The thrill of finding that unique new-to-you outfit can be achieved by only making one stop this Thursday, so join us at the Sears Gallery at Elgin Academy, and feel the joys of shopping in a new green experience.

The Frock Swap, taking place to raise money for the Community Crisis Center of Elgin, will be offering eco-friendly budget smart shoppers the opportunity to upgrade their wardrobes without breaking their banks. Many people are spending sparingly these days and making cut-backs in the amount they spend on luxuries, such has new fashionable clothing. To learn more about the Frock Swap and how to fully participate I encourage interested readers to read my previous post which describes how to completely take advantage of the Frock Swap.

As if being eco-friendly, socially conscious, superbly affordable and a great opportunity to spend time with your girlfriends isn't enough...we're not done making this an impossible event to miss! Be one of the first 50 recessionistas to check-in on August 6 at 6:00 p.m. and you'll get a cosmetic bag full of goodies! FREE! And, there'll be more surprises to come.
