Goal

This is it people. I am putting here on the blog so I have some accountability.

I have been pinning outfits from Pinterest, especially for things that look like items I already own, because this is my big goal.

NO NEW CLOTHES FOR 6 MONTHS.

Yep, that's right. Todd is a bit skeptical that this is possible, but starting last Saturday (my birthday...I had to get the shopping out of my system and what better day than my BIRTHDAY??) was the last day I will buy clothes until August. I've seen other girls do it for a year, but I just don't know if I am ready to commit that long :)

I have seen other girls do this on blogs and that motivated me, among other reasons. I have way too many clothes (my closets and drawers are bursting at the seams). Reason two, I want to spend less money and time on shopping, as I think it is taking time that I should be doing other things. I need to find my fulfillment in other ways. Also, I can see it as a challenge--shopping my closet instead of the stores.

The thing is, I have lots of pretty cute clothes, but I have so many, I don't wear them all.  Additionally, because this teaching assignment requires me to dress more professionally, I have less time to wear jeans, which limits my ability to wear some of my clothes.

Anyway, I didn't include accessories in this goal, and I gave myself a monthly budget for those things.

So here we go! I will keep pinning away and scouring my closet and using the clothes I already have and I'll check back in on that goal in August!
