The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Katy Cook

Katy Cook, San Diego, CA. Age: 26, Katy works as a stylist, writer and editor for several fashion websites. She recently completed her master’s degree in psychology and is currently applying for doctoral programs in English literature. In addition to her professional-student-Peter-Pan-syndrome, Katy also has an addictive personality, with a special weakness for Louboutin, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Gucci heels. “If you’ve seen Confessions of a Shopaholic, you’ve basically met me,” she says. “I could literally make it through this entire challenge without doing laundry.” She has undertaken The Great American Apparel Diet to find out who she is without the thrill of acquiring designer labels (and to prove everyone wrong). Being eco-friendly and saving a few grand a month aside, Katy is mainly interested in the challenge of giving up a hobby she recognizes is completely self-indulgent and time-consuming. She would like to extend her advanced apologies to her beloved salespeople and the economy in general.
