this year has been a real eye opener for me. i went 10 months only buying a few things and cycling the same wardrobe biweekly. it wasn't fun, but neither was buying maternity clothes. thus, i've decided on a challenge for myself. no new clothes or shoes in this next year (save possibly a christmas or birthday gift). i don't need anything. currently because of a weight shift (seriously, my weight migrated down about 3 inches) my pants don't fit well. i've been told to give that a few more months. at 6 weeks pp i'll be able to exercise again. i'll get back down there. until then, when i leave the house, i can wear skirts.
i really, really don't need anything.
so no buying clothes for myself for a year. i'm nearly a month into it. it should be fine.
my last clothes purchase was
this sweater. yeah, that's right - a novelty sweater. go me. i also got a couple of other tops during the year when i couldn't wear them.
meanwhile, j.crew now has a baby collection. j.crew for baby. crazy/awesome.
