Here’s a photo from a clothing exchange we hosted last week: fifteen friends and more than 20 full trash bags of clothes to trade, all seasons. A pair of crazy sequined pants made the rounds, as did a fringed leather jacket. We ended up keeping some nice things (some pants for Ryan; boots for Jessica) and Ryan’s closet (from 30 pounds ago) supplied at least one friend with an entirely new wardrobe for work. All the leftovers — 17 bags! — are waiting for Goodwill pickup. It’s difficult to navigate our livingroom.
Ryan’s beardless here, but he has decided to grow it again.
