a year of buying no clothes
Catherine Fox, author, who blogs at catherine-fox.blogspot.co.uk, had a year of buying no clothes in 2012. She's written a post summing up the year here. I thought some of you might be interested, and like this part of her conclusion:
The main thing I've gained in the course of this experiment is an ambition to have nothing in my wardrobe but what (to paraphrase William Morris) I know to fit me, and believe to make me look fabulous. This may lead me to spending more on less, I fear. But overall, to spending and owning less. That way I hope to avoid the anguish of standing in front of a mirror wondering if this outfit makes me look fat/muttony/weird. And of being a mindless buying machine.
