Day 1 of No Shopping

Starting today, February 14th 2011, I am renouncing my faith in shoes. So what does that mean? For the next 365 days, I will not buy any shoes, clothes, purses, jewelry, etc. Basically, I will purchase nothing that I can wear or carry on my person.  The point of this project, or should I say challenge, will be to not only save my money, but also to use what I already have. I will be taking a picture of what I am wearing each day and document my year without shopping.  I will attempt to create different outfits with accessories/shoes, so as to not wear the exact outfit twice.

While for some this may be an easy challenge, for a self-proclaimed fashionista and shoe-a-holic, this will be anything but. Wish me luck!

  2. Fait accompli? Say it isn't so! Le petite Lola is besides herself to think that the days of being swept up into the Brahmin bag for an emergency trip to Nordstrom are over!

  3. Hmmm... I am intrigued by this plan, dear cousin. However, I am wondering if your plan includes not shopping for the MATERIALS to make some of these items. Can you buy some fabric and make a scarf? Will you learn to bead to start making your own jewelry? Just adding another layer to think about in this challenge. I look forward to your photos and blogging! Love always, Kathy
