Maybe next year, this year i'm working in Shop Handmade which is craft, design, style & handmade mecca, so i'm supporting Australian made small business while my retail satisfaction is put to good use. Love Posie
Yay! I've signed up not to buy any clothes that come from a sweat shop at another blog, and I've found that formalising it in my mind has really helped! No impulse buying those little things that I don't really need. This concept looks even more intense and exciting! Good luck!
Good luck!! I practically already do this. The only clothing items I've gotten new were a few items months ago, on clearance at Target and $2-3 each. Other than that, it's thrift stores and hand-made for me!
interesting, and a great concept. am just thinking about little boys and their new undies and socks. . . that would be tricky. and when i need something clothes wise, i seem to need it straight away! the hunt for 2nd hand can take a while. love to know how you go with it :)
I am just too pathetically weak to even consider this... HOWEVER, I have made a pledge to buy quality over quantity in regards to clothes, so no cheap stuff frm cheap shops- you know the ones...
Yeah I'm sure there will be a few hurdles for me too but I will do my absolute best. Fortunately being a shopaholic in a previous life means I have heaps of clothes in the wardrobe to fall back on.

I am doing the no buying new clothes challenge...except for undies heheheh
I'm doing it too & it's been great so far! I'm really enjoying everything handmade & thrifting for secondhand is just such a buzz. Yay for you!
Eeek! I thought pledging to not buy new clothes for 4 months was hard enough! Good luck!
I have taken up Tiff's challenge - though I am only a few weeks into it. So far so good!
Just tell me how I deal with gifts for birthdaying teenage boys and I'm in. Although re-reading the pledge - do gifts to tricky nephews count???

I think when I have a little more free time, I would love to do this. So cool that you are signing up!

It sounds quite tempting, not sure if I could stick to it 100% Good Luck!
Good luck! You are very brave and very wonderful. I'm not there yet but maybe working towards it one day.
