If you haven’t, don’t worry…this is not a gathering will involve actual nudity. It’s really just a clothing exchange. I have to say that I’ve never attended a Naked Lady Party, but it sounds like a great way to bond with girlfriends while we hold each other mutually accountable for cleaning out our closets. Plus, we’d get to recycle our clothing while scoring new garments from trusted friends…for free!

I feel as though at this point, my closet doesn’t have much to offer, but someday I’m determined to set up a Naked Lady Party. My plan is to talk to interested friends and pick a date that is at least a month in the future. My pals will arrive with unwanted bags or boxes of clothing in hand. I’ll supply some wine and chocolate as we all strip down to the basics to try on each other’s unwanted loot. If you are more experienced in the art of clothing exchanges, is there a way to make this step more equitable so that there aren’t hurt feelings if one person ends up with several garments while someone else doesn’t find a single thing?

If we did have a few rejected outfits at the end of the Naked Lady Party, we’d donate them to a charity like Dress for Success, that helps low-income women find professional wardrobes as they search for employment. Or I guess we’d drop off the less professional duds at our local thrift shop. What a fun way to exchange clothing and make memories with friends at the same time!
