The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Jason

Age: 20. I am from OKC, OK and I am studying fashion marketing at University of Central Oklahoma. Not only do I study fashion for school but I also am surrounded by it at both of my jobs. I help manage a non-profit's consignment store filled with vintage designer clothes. My second job includes working at Express Fashion. Whenever I'm not at work I am constantly looking online at clothes that I want and cannot afford. I feel like it is a sickening addiction. I came across this site by accident and have read many posts that have inspired me to want to stop my addiction. I feel like this site could help me because I am sort of surrounded by people who love fashion just like I do, which is not common in my social environment. I will be getting my last fix in before the new year and will be going all out once 2011 rolls in. My addiction to fashion may lodge deeper in my brain. I constantly feel that people are always looking at what I wear and that they are judging me based on my appearance. I don't know why I think this because I know people don't really care. I think I care about my appearance because I am so paranoid about what people think about me that I judge people's outfits harshly so then I judge myself harshly. I hope that makes sense. I think this will help myself money wise and self-confidence wise.
