Katie Murphy Clarke
My name is Katie Murphy Clarke. I live in Parkland, Florida and am 34 years old. I work full time as a corporate counsel, am married to a wonderful fellow attorney, am a mom to 3 year old Wyatt, stepmom to Megan (11) and Travis (10). I love to take early morning spin classes before work and hot yoga classes on the weekend. I give you all this background so you can get a glimpse into all the clothes I "need" to buy - for work, for date nights, girls' nights out, for the kids' soccer games, for working out...the list goes on, I love to get a new outfit for every occasion. I love to shop. I shop online; I shop over my lunch breaks at the nearby Boynton Beach Mall and at Target. I, of course, shop on the weekends everywhere I go (there's the cutest little boutique next to my neighborhood Starbucks). I shop for myself and the children. And lately, after almost every purchase for myself, I experience horrible shoppers' regret that I have bought more clothing that I really don't need and that I shouldn't have spent money on in this scary and uncertain economy where honestly myself or my husband could lose our jobs at any time. I desperately need a reason to stop shopping, if only to at least stop shopping for myself (although I hope it may help me stop shopping for everyone else too but thankfully I don't have to promise that as well!). So I am very excited that I have found the Great American Apparel Diet, and that I just bought quite a few things for myself just last week . . .
