ALBANY PARK — Before there was boho, there was Stevie Nicks.

Known as much for her style as her singing, the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman, dubbed the "pop culture fairy godmother of witchy women," is the inspiration behind Thursday night's "Give To Me Your Leather, Take From Me My Lace" clothing swap at Halcyon Theatre.

Comb your closet for shawls, scarves, peasant skirts and anything with velvet, fringe or ruffles — better yet, anything with velvet, fringe and ruffles.

The swap kicks off at 7 p.m. at the theater, 4541 N. Spaulding Ave. Admission is $10 or BYOB.

The organizers are requesting that people bring a minimum of two items and a maximum of six to the swap.

Additional swap tips, courtesy of no less than Oprah:

• Make sure to clean out any pockets first.

• Leave anything stained or in poor condition at home.

• Don't forget accessories (Stevie loves hats!) — bring shoes, jewelry, handbags and other accessories.
