Yesterday was the start of a new month (not to mention new financial year), so what better time then now to start a new challenge, the month without clothes shopping challenge. I'm not sure about you, but I for one can safely say that I have more than clothes than I really need. I can't resist a bargain, and will buy discounted clothes even if I don't really need them. This results in needing to have a wardrobe de-cluttering session every few months, which got me thinking, if I invest in quality well fitting clothes to start with (as long as they are still a bargain) then this cycle of buying and culling needn't happen at such a rapid rate.
So this month I have decided to challenge myself, and I invite all my readers to join me, to buying no clothes. It's not a long period of time, but it's long enough to challenge myself to wear the clothes already sitting in my wardrobe. This challenge is not just about saving money, but also finding new ways to wear the clothes you already have, which can be a lot of fun! Saving money is a nice little bonus though, if you were to spend $2000 a year on clothes, shoes and accessories, you would save $167 buy not purchasing any this month, who can say no to that?
Throughout the month I will keep you updated on how I am going with the challenge , and I would love it if you could share your progress!
