The Day Has Arrived

One year.....I can't believe its been that long.

I can't believe that one year ago i was just getting back from a vacation in Oregon. That was the last time i had gone shopping.

Now, one year later, I am on another vacation and in a different state.

Today I get to go shopping in Nashville, TN.

I will bring my camera along to document.

My shopping list includes:

-jean jacket

-jean shorts

-tie-neck blouse

-red sweater

-braided belt

-burnt orange shirt

anything else that is different from what i already own

Stay tuned for what i buy.

Thanks for being a part of this year long challenge

2 More Weeks

Time is almost up. 

One year without purchasing clothes has been such a challenge, yet so satisfying. 

But to be honest...

I went 11 months without buying clothes. On july 4th i gave in. American Eagle did me in.

I found a pair of jeans that i had been wanting for so long. They were on sale and it was free shipping. So i bought them.

I got them cheaper than the price shown. $21...i think it was worth it.

So i bought one thing in 11 months...let's see you do better.

During this year i...

... was able to save so much money.

... deciphered what clothes need to get thrown out

... gained an understanding of my style and what i want it to look like

FYI: I leave for a 3 week road trip on saturday. Chances are i will be in Nashville when the year is up. I plan to go on a shopping spree and i will do my best to document this momentous occasion.

Updates and Outfits

Only 55 more days until i can buy clothes. 

21 Of those days i will be in New Zealand

And my "no clothes buying" challenge will end while on a road trip with my mom. 

I will probably be in Tennessee.

SO much exciting stuff this summer.

 My apologies

Im sorry for all of the polyvore creation posts. It is my outlet for creativity. For me it's like the grown up way of playing dress-up, but with clothes i don't have or could never afford to buy.

Hopefully those posts can give you inspiration on what to wear and on how to put an outfit together.

Here are some of the outfits i wore during May....and where i wore them.
