Clothing Exchange in the DMV Area?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there were any resources for the DC/MD/VA area. I'm in DC and have gone to a couple of thrift stores but things seem so dated. Any help would be appreciated!

I'd participate! I have a bag full of clothes ranging in sizes.

I would also participate!!! I am in Maryland and have lots of clothes that still have the tags on them but hopefully I will not be fitting them soon!!

I tried to sell them to Uptown Cheapskate in Rockville, but they told me that they don't take clothes over a size 12. So I think a clothing exchange/clothing swap would be great!!! Definitely keep us all posted.

Have you tried Clothes Mentor? I think they are pretty good and (I checked) they are in the DC area.

I have a ton of jeans and some shirts and a few pair of shoes. For those of you in the DMV area, maybe we can arrange a meetup? What do y'all think?

I was actually born In Paula Valley and most of my family still live in OK. I can reach out to some folks I know in OKC if you'd like? Let me know.

Maybe we can create a Facebook page for the DMV area? Make it a closed group? Where we can post pics of our clothes and arrange meetups?

I love this idea. Especially with the nice weather coming, a change of wardrobe would be great! I have no idea to start a Facebook page, but I'd be game to join. Or maybe even an email list serv or something. Can't wait!

Hey Nona1414, yes, Rockville, MD!! Small world. Uptown Cheapskate is on the Pike near Edmonston Dr. They were nice enough--I guess, but it felt more like pitty because they had to turn me away. It was kind of embarrassing.

I live in DC and wouldn't mind setting something up at all! Maybe we can all meet up at a park? I'll look into the Facebook page setup and then I can post the link here on this thread so we can share photos of our items and those that can't meet up, May be able to arrange something in the future. I will look into a meet up place and see whose available. I'm thinking maybe a Saturday, or Sunday?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
