The other day I read story about a few people who decided to not buy any new clothes and only wear six different pieces of clothing for three months. Wow! I think that is a little much, right? But these few people actually did it and the crazy thing is that other people, family, friends, work people, didn't even realize they had only worn six different items for the last three months. It made me think how much people these days have to have a new something, whether its clothes, shoes, purse, whatever, every month, or week, or whatever time frame fits for them. How much money would you save if you lived off six items and didn't purchase any new ones every three months? That's just astounding to me. I can't fathom living off only six pieces of clothing for three months!!!!! Not for me, however, I could use the other part of the plan by not buying any clothing for three months. Three months doesn't really seem like a long time until I really begin to think about it. That's incredible.
So I've decided to give it a try. I am not going to purchase any new clothes for three months. And what a better time then now? Today is gong to be day one. We'll see how much money I can save or what other things I can do with that money that would have been spent on clothes. Wish me luck!!
Way to go Lissie! That's great! I hope to learn from your example... Really need to save better than I have been.
ReplyDeleteOk, so this didn't happen. I lasted until two weeks ago when I went shopping with my little brother. I decided I wanted to start "dressing up" for work. And in the process bought a few nice shirts and pants. Oh well, I gave it a shot! Haha, but I have learned I don't need to shop as often as I have been. So, that's good!
