The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Nina, Harrisburg PA

Nina Johnston/26/Harrisburg PA. Nina is very much a self professed shopaholic and loves to find her "deal of the day." Since she was a little girl she has always had a tremendous interest in fashion both current and vintage. She will eagerly shop boutiques, online, Target and has been known to drag many apparel items home from the local flea market. To put it in her words her love for clothing is "endless" but unfortunately, her wallet isnt. Currently completing her degree in Graphic Design, clothing and her "eldless" devotion to it has served her well as great inspiration in many of her designs. While grateful for the creative spark that ignites every time she opens a new issue of Vogue, she also longs to be set free from the savage beast inside her that tells her to buy one of everything in it. After all with over SEVENTY pairs of jeans alone, and over ONE HUNDRED dresses, its time to focus her energy and passions into more wallet and earth friendly activites. " While I love every article in my closet I have yet to wear many items and "love them to pieces." The time saved window shopping will be well spent finally creating my personal style blog, spending time at the project desk, and learning how to use that really nice sewing machine my parents bought me three christmas's ago! Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess. ~Edna Woolman Chase
