Buy My Wardrobe event

As a personal stylist, I love looking through people’s wardrobe, so imagine my delight to be invited to spend a very pleasant afternoon at the Kensington Roof Gardens in South London, looking at all the yummy designer clothes and accessories that were for sale at the fraction of the retail cost. The clothes are technically secondhand but a majority of the items have barely been worn and a lot of them still had the original tags on them.

 Back in 2008 Buy My Wardrobe opened the door to the very first designer fashion recycling event the country had ever seen.  It started with a champagne preview hour which saw 17 stylish ladies gather to sell the contents of their desirable wardrobes to invited members of the public!

 

Fast forward 5 years on and they now have a brand new online marketplace and they held their 20^th event on Saturday. There were 30 wardrobes of London’s most stylish women.  There was everything from pre-loved designer accessories, to vintage, boutique and much loved by big designers,  I found so many bargains, my purse couldn’t handle it and the ladies had to pry a particular blue  handbag from my fingers.

The Kensington Roof Gardens was the perfect location for this great fashion event, to add to all the glitz and glamour and women frantically searching through the rails of clothes, there was an express makeover station, a live DJ, Champagne, treats and goody bags for the VIP’s.

I had a thoroughly nice afternoon, I could have done with some girlfriends to share the excitement with but I will definitely make sure that the girls are coming with me for the next one.  I had to receive some phone counselling from my best friend, for having to leave behind, a Burberry coat down from £2200 to £549.00, even though I couldn’t afford it.  If you’re like me and above a size 12 be prepared to concentrate the accessories rather than the, size 4-10 designer outfits but definitely is a good incentive to slim down for.

 

A lot of clothes and accessories were in great condition some of even still had the original tags on the outfits.  If you ever looked in Vogue magazine at all the designer clothes, bags, shoes, accessories that you thought you would never be able to afford them, then this is the place for you.
