update: wardrobe recycling

It's been over a month since I resolved not to buy any new clothes, and it hasn't been difficult to keep the promise.

After I got tired of wearing the same stuff all the time, I dug into my closet and found clothes I'd forgotten about. I received a lot of compliments on the outfits I sort of cobbled together.

Then last week I attended a clothing swap, where everyone brought old clothes we didn't wear anymore (I filled two trash bags full), emptied them out onto my friend's living room floor, and went shopping.

I walked away with a new pair of pants, some shorts, a skirt, three dresses, two tops, two belts, a t-shirt and a pair of Angela Chase-style shoes I've been wanting for a year. The straps keep falling off, but I have super glue.

Two more months to go.
