We all have those days: open your bulging wardrobe desperate for clothes that give you that happy, spring-is-sprung feeling - but the cupboard is bare.

Of course it's not bare, but you know what I mean. It's full of last year's frippery that doesn't give you the hit you need.

Problem solved: check out whatsmineisyours.com, an eBay-alike with an added twist - you can swap. Remember Seventies Saturday mornings Multi-Coloured Swap Shop? Well this - theoretically - has all that and you don't even need to wear a bad retro woolly jumper.

It's retail therapy without the credit-card guilt. And it's part of a whole recycling trend that's about saying no to over-consumption (have you heard about freecycle.org?).

Let's face it: it's as much fun to have a designer clothes swap night with your friends as it is to get the latest wares. Well, almost.

You heard it here first. It still needs a little work, and frankly we all know eBay has first-mover advantage when it comes to online selling, but the swappage is where it's at.
