Do the swish

Due to the recession lots of us don’t have that much money left over to spend. But thanks to the new craze of ‘swishing’ that shouldn’t be a problem.

Swishing is the new way to swap your old clothes and accessories for a whole lot of new ones. Galaxy are supporting this campaign by holding a swishing party of their own.

They’ll be at Crystal, 23-32 Carver Street Sheffield on Thursday 30th April with the Hirsty’s Daily Dose cast. The swishing kicks off at 7.30pm and is for over 18s only. To get tickets go to http://www.galaxyyorkshire.co.uk/come-to-our-party-5306.

If you don’t fancy that then why not hold your own swishing party. All you need to do is get a few friends together and ask them to bring about 5 garments round with them and get swishing.

It’s a great way to save money, and also makes a great night in. If there are any clothes left over you could always give them to a charity. You’ll be getting a new outfit and helping someone.

Hannah McCann a former swisher said “Due to everyone been skint lately, swishing is a great way to get a new outfit. Not only that but it’s a good laugh and a great night out. Any thing that was left over we bagged up and gave to Oxfam.”
