Happy New Year everyone. Its weird that its already 2013. But I look forward to a new year and a new outlook on life. I am planning on starting my own business in the next couple of years (my 30th birthday present to myself) so that means I have to start paying off debts and saving money. My new year's resolution for 2013 is to pay off my credit cards and pay extra on my car note. In order to do this I have to stop spending. This self described shopaholic is setting a challenge for myself. I will not shop for clothing for 6 months (I originally said a year but that would NEVER happen). I will post a picture a day on my blog of my outfits. I will not say I won't repeat because I can't always be that creative at 6am in the morning and there are outfits that I love or just feel comfortable in that I'm definitely going to wear again. So we'll see how this goes. There are a few exceptions:
- I have to buy a bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding in June
- I have to buy a new pair of running shoes in the spring (can't run races in bad shoes)
- If I gain weight (God forbid)
- If I lose weight
- If a staple item gets ruined (run in my tights, hole in my jeans, etc.)
But that's it. Other than that I can't shop. I'm not looking forward to it. But maybe it will help me appreciate the things I have even more. I have a closed full of clothes, lets see how I can use them.
Happy Shopping (pick something up for me)!
