I posed this question the other day on Twitter
Wondering if anyone would be interested in a spending freeze/cleanout your closest/wear what you have linkup.

After Easter, I decided to clean out my closet and challenged myself to not spend any money on clothes until the end of the school year. I also thought it would be fun to wear a dress or a skirt everyday. Except Fridays when I could wear jeans. It was such a relief. I forgot how much fun it was to create outfits out of stuff I already had in my wardrobe. After a few weeks, I didn’t even feel the need to walk into a store.I’ve gone a little spend crazy these last few weeks. I want to do it again.
So here’s what I’m thinking:-Clean out your closet.
-Set a “last spend budget” (This is super important, you need to get spending out of your system. Plus, you’ll want some new things to inspire new outfits!)
-Buy everything you want/need.-Stop spending money on clothes,accessories, and shoes until Christmas (long time I know, but it will give you extra spending cash for presents!)
-Each week link up here with the outfits you created from your closet.
Do you think this is doable? Would you even want to participate?Let me know in the comments!

Ok, I'm in. :D I can't guarantee a photo each day, but the not spending money on clothes, accessories and shoes thing. I'm in. :) Are you thinking of a specific start day?
I would but I'm getting married in October and too many things that I need to buy new outits for (rehearsal dinner, honeymoon, etc.) But I would link up to show things that I've found in my closet! :)
You know I'm in! I love this!
I'm definitely interested in a spending freeze. Though I'd have to make an exception for school-related necessities. But yeah, I've been thinking of doing one since the wedding... not sure if I'd post about it, but perhaps! It's definitely a good time to start (after a little back-to-school shopping trip, that is!) :)
I'll definitely follow along if you do it, though!
