Lipsticks and sneakers: Swishing: Student Edition

A couple of days ago I went to Molly’s Swishing event. For everybody who doesn’t know what Swishing is, here a short explanation: Swishing is an organisation that does events all over Flanders where you can come in with the clothes that are too small/big, or that you don't wear anymore and you can "shop" for other clothing.

Student-like, girly, yummie, ... PERFECT.
So today I wanted to write about it because more people should know about these events. I’ve been to several clothing swap events before and also some of Swishing. I liked the Student Edition the best. It’s perfect for, let’s say, girls from 16 years old til mid twenties. You’re almost 100% sure that you’ll find something that fits you and is like your style. Creepy grandma skirts are not allowed!

Swishing offers everything a girl needs. There was food (the cookies were soooo good), a makeup artist, a hair stylist, and of course there were CLOTHES!

Have patience girl!
When you go to a Swishing event it’s important to have patience. Don’t just go in, get your points and spend them right away. No you don’t want to do that, because a girl with the PERFECT clothes may come in three hours later.

That’s why it’s fun to have someone who gets your makeup, nails and hair done. It gets you through the day and you learn a lot from those artists. The two girls at the makeup table gave me so many tips, it was just amazing. I also loved that you could choose from brands like Benefit, Urban Decay, M.A.C. etc.

Get to know people.
Another thing I love about these kind of events: everybody is in for the same reasons; they love fashion, are in for some fun and are not planning on leaving soon. Perfect to get to know more people, I say!
I made some pictures, find them below!
