Post it Forward - Accessory Circle! – Part Deux

Ok, the part one of this post is located over here...go check it out and then you'll understand what I'm jabbering on about!!

Ok, ready? Here goes nothing...

1 First item(s) purchased (I shall do this bit) and a picture posted on blog.

2 Above item used for a max of 2½ weeks – no hogging!

3 Post on to next address. (I would need all of your address but would only give out one at a time on a need-to-know basis i.e. I would only give it to the person sending you the item).

4 You have a max of 2.5 weeks for accessory usage – plan well!

a. Before posting it off to the next person you need to blog about the item (with photos). Once posted you need to let me know so I can do a quick post / update about where the item is (although I will not reveal the next destination!) and link through to your blog.

5 Once you have had the item (for 2½ weeks max) and sent it on you have a 4-week period of grace (you can do it earlier if you want) until it is your turn to purchase something – during times of hardship we’re not expecting Louis Vuitton or anything, just something that fits the ‘all-rounder’ category and would be appreciated by a friend! NB – it’s not compulsory to purchase something. You can send something you already own as long as it’s in relatively good condition and fits the bill – obviously it needs to be something you can live without for a while, buy off eBay etc. Just something else to add to the mix.

6 Ok, then it’s time to post it off. If you send me a msg / email / comment to let me know you’re set to go I will forward you another address – so no-one has to wait forever to have some fun. (I’ll be designing a database before I know it!).

The only rules are outlined above apart from NO BELTS. Belts are an awkward one because sizes can vary and we wouldn’t want to ruin anyone’s day by sending them the best belt in the world and it doesn’t fit! How gutted would you be!? Anything else goes though!!

To make it work we need quite a few people willing to participate. I have already purchased 3 items to start with so you wont have to wait for months and months for your first use. I’ll send them out at different intervals so you don’t end up with 3 things at once and I’ll try and track them so you don’t get the same thing too often (this should be easy once other people start adding accessories to the mix).

NB: It might be also be fun, so we know where the items have been, if you could cut out the postage mark / stamp from the packaging and pop it in the bag when you post it forward.

NB2: The items I’ve started with are relatively light and it’s probably best to keep it this way so that no-one feels postage prices are going to spoil their fun. If it’s a bag aim for a clutch, if it’s a scarf go for something light etc etc.

NB3: I'm sorry if I've over-complicated it (I confused myself somewhere in the middle (easily done!)) so if you have any questions leave me a comment and I shall try and answer them!! After the weekend I'll follow-up this post with a list of people (with their sites) joining in as well as some of the items that will be in the mix!

If you receive an item and don’t forward it to the next person it would be really sad and end the game! On the other hand if you receive it and forward it you will receive another accessory to hit the town with shortly afterwards – definitely an incentive not to keep the item for your own!!
