What is Swap Shop?
Shop & Swap is the term used when speaking about the act of purchasing and returning clothing after one wear. Many people "shop and swap" after shopping at relatively or very expensive stores (ie; H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Neiman Marcus etc...)and purchasing clothes they want wear on dates, to school, clubs, parties and so fourth...but can't afford to keep. Label-whore's are known the engage in this practice to remain in keeping with trends but still able to actually afford to eat.
Though most stores consider it theft in the long run, many see no problem with and compare it to renting a tux.
I was so stoked when I found out I could dress like Paris Hilton on a starving artists budget though shop & swap.
