The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Kelly

My name is Kelly, I'm a 42 year old single mom working in admin from Austin TX. I found out about the Apparel Diet through "6 pieces or Less". The idea of 6 pieces didn't quite work for me-but I'm really glad to have found the diet. I don't have any money to waste- which doesn't mean that I haven't wasted it. I am embarrassed to think of all the clothes I've purchased in the last three years that looked nice-enough…classic styles and colors--but were of cheap construction and fabric. If I had held off and saved for nice things I might have more things than I do. I have a very small wardrobe. And that is fine. In this group I can slow down and be more mindful-and less DESPERATE when it comes to my clothes. I can remember that I have enough. I don't have a pair of jeans. I may decide that I need them, or some other things in the next year (I probably only have about 20 pieces) but I plan to plan. I will be slow and sane if a *real* and practical need arises. Cheers!
