This is a shopping diet that was featured on Good Morning America today.
Shopping Diet: Six Clothing Items, 31 Days - ABC News
I imagine that most guys would look at this challenge and not even blink. Our family has consisted of my husband and I along with two boys and any pet that was ever brought into the family was a male. (We did have a short run with a female dog but she didn't last long)
I have been the only female around and the only one that really enjoys shopping. I tried to raise the boys to like it but once they were old enough to talk at all, they would say "NO! Not Going!!" Many guys seem to be content in their pants or shorts, t-shirts and a good pair of shoes that go with everything. Oh, I realize that I am generalizing and rally don't mean to offend, some men are very particular about their wardrobe; I just live with the kind that don't seem to have it as a priority.
Well, life has changed over the years, the boys have grown up and things have gotten much busier than ever. I don't have time to shop and don't really need the variety that I used to enjoy. I think we (ladies) could pair it down as well; I would like to take the challenge.
If you watch the video you will see that one of the downsides to doing this, though, is that you need to whittle your color pallet down to a very neutral few. You see, the challenge is to try to choose only six items of clothing that you can interchange throughout a 31 day period. I haven't really read all the rules just yet but one person said that she spruced up the outfit by adding different jewelry and accessories. Still, she said that she was happy to be able to add a splash of yellow to her outfit after the month was completed.
Sounds like it would be good for our wallets as well as our addiction to shopping. Sometimes we just mindlessly buy things to hang in our closets. This could be good therapy.
Let me know what you think . . .
