So, here's my mission...starting tomorrow, June 1st, 2011, and for the entire months of June, July, August and September, I vow not to buy myself any clothes, shoes or accessories. This may seem like nothing exciting or challenging to some, but to me it will truly be a test of discipline and self control. I guess you could say I'm a borderline shopaholic. I've never maxed out my credit cards or gotten myself into debt as a result of my love for shopping, but my closet is overflowing and my drawers are buckling under the weight of the masses of clothes piled in them. So clearly, I am not in need of any more items for my wardrobe.
The reason for my mission? Well, aside from the fact that I'm running out of room and am finally acknowledging and accepting it, I also have a lot of expenses in these upcoming months so I can no longer justify unnecessary spending...aka my shopping addiction. So the challenge is this: I won't spend any money on new clothes, shoes or accessories for myself for these next 4 months. I must survive on only what it is currently in my wardrobe. I'll only allow myself to alter stuff I already have, like hem an article of clothing or...well, what else is there?
Oh boy...mix and match is about to have a whole new meaning in my life.
