a minor setback, but mostly a relief The Apparel Diet, the Internet and Happiness

Hi All!

I joined the great American Apparel Diet last week, but I haven’t bought any new clothing since January 4th, 2010. Like some of you, I had many reasons to join:

1- lots of $$$ spent in clothing

2- lots of clothing pieces I never wore or worn once only

3- lots of clothings pieces that I don’t like really. I guess i bought them because they were a good deal or had an impulsive moment

4- I lost quite some weight last year, and I haven’t gained them back. What’s scary.. is I still have LOTS LOTS of clothes, despite the weight lots!

So, my plan is to wear all my clothes, one piece at the time. Wear ALL of them and if I don’t like them,  give it away to a charitable cause.

Let’s start!

    I really like the idea to wear each piece of your clothes; it would be interesting if you documented the process. I hope to be in your shoes in the coming months with the weight loss— I have a lot of clothes in storage.

    I have been doing a blog on this same theme since January first. NO new items- clothes, shoes, or accessories. I have also vowed not to repeat outfits, so I will be wearing ALL of my clothes at some point. Today I wore a shirt that was a total impulse vow and I know will end up in the donate pile! It has been a lot of fun revisiting some old things and making them new again. I hope you enjoy ALL of your clothes too!

    Hi, I love the idea of wearing everything and discarding the things I don´t like! I was pregnant three times in the last four years, so I have clothes in all different sizes, too and I bought stuff while pregnant for “after pregnancy” that I still haven´t worn. This makes a lot of sense. Maybe I should count, just for the heck of it, all the stuff hamstered in my closet never worn….

    hi!
    Yes, i will definitely blog about my experience. So far I wore 3 outfits that I never worn before. Nothing to give away yet.
    Shelayna, I’m also on the no shoes and accessories diet, coz go figure I have tons of them as well. I counted my purses… 31!!!! but i always use the red for school and one old black one daily.
    Julia, lol @ after pregnant… I use to buy clothes for when I lose 10lbs lol

    cheers girls
