Frankie, Australia
Greetings from down under !
I found out about TGAAD when googling the idea of not buying clothes and really cutting down on non-essentials, including perfume...why am I using the Sarah Jessica Parker scent that smells like washing-up liquid ???
After a horrifying several days in my walk-in closet, so full of clothing, so much still tagged or forgotten about, and a spouse who had only a tiny cupboard in which to store his own clothing, a credit card debt and a sense of “ what the heck am I doing buying buying, buying and still wearing that same few pairs of jeans “, I decided enough was enough !
I am a close to forty, happily married primary school teacher, living in rural Tasmania, Australia. I have only recently realised that I am not Carrie Bradshaw and that I do not live in New York City, I don’t care about designer labels but I do care about having enough money saved for the barbecue area and spa we wish to build at the back of our country residence. I also realised it is now time to wear what I already have and “ shop-in “ rather than shop-out...
300 Ebay-ed items later, a strong sense of resolve, a wish to actually for the first time in my life, wear something out until threadbare...and I am raring to go...I am determined...I am getting married in 10 days, and the dress I am wearing, shoes and jewellery too, already lived in my wardrobe...nothing new for this blushing bride.
I look forward to continuing on the challenge so many of you have already started. Keep up the fantastic work !
