swapping: part two. 5 reasons to swap before you shop (a recap)

for the last two years, i've had the honour of emceeing a large, public, clothing swap, hosted by the swap team (more on that in the next post). partly because of that role and partly because of the clothing exchanges i host at my home, i was asked by cult mtl to create a top 5 list on why you should swap before you shop. i wish a different photo had been chosen from the selection offered (the photo used was taken right after the great gazebo collapse of 2009 and when my yard had yet to become the lush, green haven that it is now) and that the comment about "crowding a bitch" had been left out (it was sent as a funny text message between friends and not as part of the piece but ended up generating a few laughs so fine...). aside from these two elements, which i got over relatively fast, i am pleased with the message, in general, and i stick to what i wrote. 

...given it's relevance to this mini series, i risked redundancy and added it to the mix.
