Love this idea. I need a new pair of tennis shoes, and then I'm on board. I pretty much buy everything used anyway or get things from the Buy Nothing. I do splurge on local goods when I travel overseas. i think that's a special situation.
You would not believe how much clothing I used to purchase! I spent all my money on clothes especially shoes, boots, etc. I kept all my timeless work dresses (aka very expensive) and now my daughter is using them for mock interviews - she is in college! 👗👗
I just realized upon seeing the title of this post that the only new clothing I bought all year, the only clothing at all, was underwear, just because a couple pairs wore out. I've never been a big clothes buyer, a lot of my stuff has always been second-hand only because I prefer to be thrifty and not buy new unless I absolutely have to. Whenever I do buy clothing new, it's almost never made in China, and it's pretty much always on heavy discount or clearance. Amory gave some great advice, and it's funny, because I sort of have been following this path towards acquiring clothing more out of necessity than on purpose. After reading this, though, I'm going to rededicate myself to buying used items as much as possible!
