Women, update your wardrobe without opening your wallet. 

The latest trend in fashion swap parties is gaining speed.  Jennifer Stimpson hosts a party about once a month and says there is nothing like it.

"If there's something that four people want, you can bet there's going to be a bid war. When that happens, watch out!" she said.

From pumps you're just over, to jewelry from an old flame, there is always something you don't want that someone else may.  No one makes any money at the event, but then again, no one spends any, either.
