How about organising a clothes swap, seems like a good way to get something new!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469807881897293379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140250259890892301.post-17897067454486678582009-01-24T00:06:00.000+02:002009-01-24T00:06:00.000+02:00I think it's a great idea!

And even if you do stumble, it's still a fantastic lifestyle change, overall, just to be conscious of over-consumption.<BR/><BR/>Did you hear about the Brown Dress Project? It was actually performance art, somehow, I think. But a woman made and then wore a brown dress every day for a year. She dressed it up and down, but managed to prove you really only need one basic garment. I think she even kept a blog.Princess in Galosheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815709655445815674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140250259890892301.post-83339737435508940052009-01-23T21:23:00.000+02:002009-01-23T21:23:00.000+02:00I didn't stop completely, but during our wedding p...I didn't stop completely, but during our wedding planning I cut my spending way down to save for the wedding. It made such a huge difference that I was able to carry it over post-wedding.

I made a decision to try and stop buying cheap crap clothes and just ones which I was really going to wear which has hugely reduced my spend and my wardrobe so I fully support and utterly respect you for what you're doing, I'm not sure I'd manage! Let us know how it goes :) And can you have swap parties which isn't strictly buying but does mean you get new things...Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034963362014160492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140250259890892301.post-74194613700709987372009-01-23T12:05:00.000+02:002009-01-23T12:05:00.000+02:00What a great idea.

I've never thought of curbing it, or how unnecessary my spending is. My husband will be super pleased if I stop buying shoes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308937957255252058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140250259890892301.post-50926582628364757332009-01-23T08:55:00.000+02:002009-01-23T08:55:00.000+02:00Oh I support you!

I achieved it the first year I arrived in Switzerland, purely out of having no income and wanting to stay with my beautiful Swiss boy for as long as possible. Eventually Winter came and there was little Aussie me with one suitcase worth of flimsy Summer travelling clothes. So I did some babysitting to buy myself the essentails: a coat, a pair of jeans, boots and 3 pullovers. I am pretty sure that's all I bought for a year, and it didn't cost that much thanks to H+M and thrift stores, woooh-ooooo.<BR/>I find if I go shopping on a mission to find a particular item I really NEED, (and stay focused), I feel much more satisfied in the end.<BR/>Goodluck, and be strong. Even if it's just to prove the other's wrong, he he heee!CASPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080641148587915404noreply@blogger.com
