The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Marilyn Jones

Marilyn Jones, Toronto, Canada I have been addicted to clothes since elementary school. I have two friends with whom I shop for clothes and the three of us have so much fun. I have two or three fashion consultants helping with my choices. I have more than three closets full of clothes. There are clothes hanging from every door knob in the house because I love all the clothes I buy and I don't stop loving them just because I don't wear them anymore. My daughter complains about the clothes on the doorknobs. I always have the right thing to wear. My problem is I usually have several outfits that would be just perfect and how to choose just one? My new year's resolution for 2010 was not to buy any clothes for a whole year to help pay for all the trips I have planned for 2010. The Great American Apparel Diet will be perfect to help in meeting my goal. It will be an incredible challenge, but I have made it this far (February 13) with only one close call. More about that later.
