The Great American Apparel Diet

no buying for one year

Patricia

Patricia J. Washburn, 45, is a Web developer and graduate student in Portland, Maine. A former journalist, she wears plus sizes and prefers long flowing skirts to disguise a hereditary leg condition called lipedema. She heard about the diet shortly after discovering 17 pairs of shoes she hadn't worn in a year. She plans to spend the coming year sorting and giving away clothing, and reclaiming space in her closets.
