Clothing Exchange have given us one double pass for My Sister's Wardrobe to give away. Just email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject line ‘malnourished overspenders unite'

We often talk up new labels who are striving to make our streets a little better looking. If you bought every item we talked up, you're probably be skipping meals and keeping credit card moguls laughing raucously in bathtubs filled with gold coins. This week, throw your malnourished fist in the air against shiny plastic.

Sift through your closet and pick out up to six items you've loved but are willing to part with. These items will be your currency at My Sister's Wardrobe held at the Croft Institute.

Exchange your old threads with other indebted ladies and walk away wearing an outfit that brings new meaning to the second-hand - one that doesn't smell of Frankston Savers* (cat wee, moth balls, puke).

Happy swapsies, ladies.

* While we refer to Frankston Savers unfavourably, the trek to ‘the end of the line' is often worth the stench for the largest collection of Coogi jumpers known to mankind. It was recently discovered that Frankston Savers became home to the entire shirt range stolen from James Cameron's store earlier this year, so you can buy those too - if you wish to abandon any sense of moral decency.
