Would You, Could You Swear Off Shopping for a Year?
No Shopping Campaign
I’ve pondered this question, especially after reading yesterday’s Seattle tip on a local girl and 24 other women who plan to turn a blind eye to store windows and shop only in their closets for a year. My friend Natalie Linden did the same thing last year and lived to blog about it. I’m not a big clothes horse but I do get really sick of my clothes and often purge a bunch to Goodwill when I buy something new. But while that might offset my shopping guilt – good ol’ Goodwill has plenty on its plate (it receives more than 1 billion pounds of donated clothing each year.) So I’m thinking this could be a good New Year’s resolution – I’ll try a month (like the time I didn’t drink alcohol for a month and by the end I didn’t really want it – my friends had a harder time with that one than I did). Might require some creative pairings to keep from getting bored but even if I don’t save the planet at least I’ll save some cash.
