I did not realize how much I am addicted to shopping for new clothes until I officially took this challenge. But I have been sticking through it, one day and shopping mall at a time. Going to the mall without buying a new article of clothing required new level of impulse control. Ever since I gave up new clothes, I have been noticing a lot more accessories that really spice up the outfit that I already have. For example, the below shrug/bolero and necklace in this picture cost me $15 total:

My only scare at the moment is finding myself getting addicted to buying accessories from now. That would defeat the whole purpose of giving up buying new clothes if I trade them with jewelry, shoes, scarves and belts. Lord help me. I am a harm to myself.
I love the shrug/bolero. I am so glad I bought a couple before I went on the diet. Your outfit is so cute. I’m pushing month also. Welcome to the diet!

Are you saying that accessories are allowed? Oh, no!
Now I’m in trouble.
(Not really, but I do feel tempted.

Thanks for your comments, everyone! Yes..I think the accessories/underwear are definitely allowed..
