THE RULES

NO NEW CLOTHES FOR 2011!!!

I'd like to think that I have something that I can wear for any occasion. So the test is whether I can go a whole year without buying anything new.

See if I make it through 2011 without buying any new clothes. Will I stick to the rules? Follow this blog to get ideas for recycling what is in your wardrobe and to save money and vote on my 'recycled' outfits.

WHAT DO I MEAN BY CLOTHES?: work clothes, casual clothes, shores, bags, accessories (this includes sunglasses) , outerwear (COATS, HATS, MITS), UNDERWEAR (!!!).

The only thing I am excluding is sports clothing - it's important to be safe and feel good about yourself when you are exercising and so it is important to have the right shoes and clothing.

I wonder if this includes sport sunglasses? Mine are 13 year old blue Oakleys purchased on at trip to Edmonton, Alberta in 1998...

NEW YEAR, NEW RULES

Welcome to my blog! I'm hoping to save a lot of money this year by not buying any new clothes. Maybe in 2012 I can then splurge on something really nice!

I've been thinking about this for a whole year so I have to admit I did  bit of stock piling in 2010-10 pairs of shoes, all on sale though,  or was it 11 pairs? Some new underwear ,and some new peices from Theory for work. I even bought a new pair of runing shoes on December 28th to get them in under the wire.

I'm feeling a bit relieved and liberated by the thought that I will not be making any clothing purchases this year.

My plan is to post twice a week and recount what I wore, observations about what makes it possible to go a whole year without buying anything new and not feel unfashionable or frumpy.
