Hi Ladies!
Yesterday was Earth Day
I did not go downtown like the 250,000 other people, yes you heard right!
It was estimated that between 150,000 to 300,000 people showed up at Earth Day Celebration

I went instead to the Spring Fling- Clothing Exchange
I think i did my bit for the planet by exchanging clothing

The event was held on St-Laurent Street
It was well organized and everybody was friendly
In addition, vintage sellers were offering fabulous items
At a very reasonable prices and there and excellent choice of vintage garments
I took some pics of some fabulous Ladies at the swap
This is Gina one of the vintage sellers
She wore ...
Shirt and pants - Wilfred by Aritzia
Booties- Jeffrey Campbell- purchased in NY
Glasses - Chanel
This Annie another vintage seller
You can find her at Pointy Pants on Tumblr
Em & Seb located on Monkland Street had wonderful mini treats
I purchased an assortment
Could not resist - i had some on the way home
They were sensational
More stylish Ladies
Here some of the items i got at the exchange
I was pleasantly surprised
I did not know that i would find such nice pieces

I was very happy and will go again if the occasion arises
I hope you enjoyed that post

We had a "tax free" day here in Seattle but I missed it. Found some great things today though!
That first blouse you swapped for is fabulous. A swap is something I need to add to my bucket list.
Ooh, you found some really wonderful pieces! Love the red & white striped dress..
Swaps must be so much fun. Such stylish people and beautiful items to admire. Thanks for sharing! :D
Nom, nom, nom - beauteous vintage blouses, yummy treats and lots of lovely sellers wearing vintage outfits to admire - that's the kind of Earth Day I LIKE!!!!!! xoxo
What a cool event!!! We can only dream of such events here in Korea!!!
Ariane, what great pieces you found and I can't wait to see you in them! The whole event sounds like so much fun, although I confess I would have been preoccupied by the sweets table for a while.
I'm glad there was celebrating in Montreal too - your city has so much passion! I hope you have a great week!
looks like a fun swap! Everyone looks so stylish. You got some really cool vintage styled pieces. Great finds!

Looking forward to seeing you in your new finds!

Oh, I would have loved this event! I'm with Terri -- a clothing swap is definitely on my list. Good for you for doing your part (and scoring some great finds in the process!)
Wish I was there, perfect event and so many stylish ladies :)
You got some incredible pieces! I'm seriously so excited for you to style these. And it looks like those tiny treats were quite delicious.

You scored some wonderful things, I can't wait to see the purple and red and white striped dress on you I am in love with both. All of these ladies are so cute. I would love to take part in something like this, but if the truth be told if my friends did it, I probably would leave with nothing :(
XOXO

Ariane, that looks like it was such fun--I love your photos of some of the other women there (you could definitely be a street style photographer!) and I would have not been able to resist those mini-treats. It looks like you came away with some cool stuff too!
I've never been to a swap, but I will now be on the look out. Beautiful photos and the new pieces are fun and colorful. Especially the lavender top with swirls!
It looks like so much fun, and I am suffering painful envy over your new garments. The colors are really beautiful!
Oooo you did have some nice pieces! I just went to a swap down here in Atlanta, and it was so much fun!
oh, i really enjoined this post... thank you so much for sharing.

Hi Ariane!
Thanks for posting that pic of me at the swap! I love the pieces you got! I snagged a vintage purple pencil skirt and a polka dot crop blazer :) Feel free to check out my style blog and online store! I would love to have you put some outfits together for it in the future!

I can't wait to see how you style some of your finds! I love them. I also love your photos of people. They look so much cooler than most of the folks I see here!
So many stylish people there... did you ask if any of them were bloggers?
Here people have absolutely no notion of what earth day is and things you can do ....
