I love fashion. I really do - I always have. I used to have these awesome heart-shaped sunglasses that I wore with pastel printed biker shorts and a matching T shirt. It was my favorite outfit.
Fast forward a few years. I'm working on getting a graduate degree (NOT in fashion!). I have no money. I quell my needs with fast fashion from stores like Forever 21. It works.
However, I still have no money! As it turns out, spending $100 at F21 is JUST like spending $100 at Barney's . . . except the quality of the item(no "s") I could buy at Barney's is way better than that of the handful of items I could buy at F21. Sux.
Here's where the diet comes in, and like all diets, it has rules! But I'm flexible (after all, too-strict diets don't work, right??).
1. No buying any fashion things until March 17, 2010. Gifts are OK, as are other things like food. A girl's gotta eat, and this girl loves to eat.
2. No new clothes until April 17, 2010. This seems so far away! Vintage/thrift things are OK. This costs less, for me and the environment.
After April . . . we'll have to see! Watch me as I try to learn a better way to love clothes!
