Thrifting for a year hasn't actually been that hard for me...amazing, I know. I've been able to get some hand-me-downs from my mom and a few 'spend-this-money-on-new-clothes' gifts for Christmas and my birthday. When I have needed something I've gone to the thrift store, found the item, and then quickly realized that I don't actually need it. While the thrifting has provided a good character building year for me it's also been good for our bank account. I've even found that when I go to the thrift store to look around at what they have I'll inevitably put all of the clothes back on the racks. I guess you could say I've learnt to live with what I have. I've also found that buying the newest 'look' isn't always fashionable or classy. Not to say that it's all been a breeze, there have been days and weeks that I've battled the shopping bug, especially when those around me are able to buy nice new things. It's been good for me none-the-less. I'm actually considering setting a similar goal for myself when this thrifting year is up.*shopping abstinence is also made easy when my mother buys me a brand-spankin' new winter coat for only $1.95*
