Dying for a new BTS wardrobe but don’t have the budget to back your wishlist? Host a back-to-school clothing swap with your crew and score a new first-day outfit, no cash required. Here’s how:

 

Throw it…

A couple weeks before school starts.

 

Get it…

Go through your closet and sort any clothes, accessories and shoes that either don’t fit or you haven’t worn in over a year. (Be sure to double check with your ‘rents before ya swap anything!) Ask your buds to bring over their own cute castoffs in advance, then get ready to trade! Anything left over can be donated to Goodwill the next day.

 

Do it…

Transform your living room into a chic boutique by neatly arranging the outfits: Stack sweaters, tees and jeans on a bookshelf, and lay jewelry and accessories on the dining room table.

 

Eat it…

Serve trays of sweet baked goods and refreshing sips. We love fashion-forward sugar cookies paired with fizzy lemonade spritzers.

 

Gift it…

Present guests with colorful reusable totes—a perfect way to stash their fabulous new (to them!) finds.
 
 

SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK | Your best year yet

+ Crafty locker upgrades you can DIY

+  Yum-o-licious! Tasty after-school snacks

+ Can’t wait for the weekend? Start planning now

 

WIN IT | Score serious BTS swag before ya hit the halls

I love how GL is now posting things for people who can't go BTS shopping. I can go a little bit but not a lot. Only for things I need! Someone tell me why we have to get a whole new wardrobe for... for school? The first day of school is a fashion show, but the rest of the days is pajama day.
