There has to be something in the air: Just when I thought that I had enough distraction in my life, one more sweet clothing swap site launches, allowing me to focus on my hobby (fashion, and specifically upcycled fashion) while I'm supposed to be focusing on my work.

Many donate old clothing to Goodwill (where it might end up disrupting the local textile economy in Africa). A subset of that group might host a clothing swap among friends. Fewer still haul regrettable splurges to a consignment shop, where they might get a tiny fraction of what they paid for that like-new pair of designer pumps.
