29 surprising uses for shampoo
Have you ever found yourself wondering: What else can I use shampoo...
There’s a great way to keep fashionable and save your pennies at the same time. It’s been around a few years but the term ‘swishing’ still isn’t that commonly known.
So what on earth is swishing?
This was the very same question I asked myself when looking at ways to save money while remaining fashionable and on trend, during London Fashion Week.
When I asked around most thought it was an alternative for some sort of wife swap. So you’d be forgiven if you were thinking along those lines!
I took to the internet to find out more…
The term ‘swishing’ derives from the dictionary definition of ‘to rustle, as silk’ which translates ‘to rustle from friends’.
So in a nutshell, swishing is the term that relates to swapping things like clothes or accessories with friends.
Generally, once you’ve donated an item you’re free to take anything you like that’s also available. It doesn’t tend to matter whether the item is worth more or less than the one you donated but everyone must bring at least one quality item of clothing. It’s a good idea to read up on the rules of the rail first!
There are also websites such as Swishing where you can earn ‘tokens’ so that you don’t necessarily need to swap directly with the same person that wants your item.
Swishing is a great way to save money and find some ‘new’ clothes, but how do you organise a party?
It seems that swishing can tick all of the boxes: have a party, save money, be green and keep your wardrobe fresh.
