  NO, buying something for myself makes me feel refreshed, like I did something for myself, its a treat, and I need it sometimes.

  What's the big deal? I've gone YEARS without buying new clothes. If you feel like giving your money away on frivolous things then send it to me, cause I have bills to pay.

  I think knowing that I cant buy something for a year is what would make me fall into temptation and run and get myself something. I will try it on my own but it would definitely be a hard challenge for me since i love to shop.

  That would be the hardest thing ever... I have to buy myself at least something every other week. What do I work for....to pay bills? no thanks! It would save me alot of money but no thanks :)

  I don't think I could pull it off for a whole year. The longest I have gone has a been a few months at a time (and not by choice!) As long as they bills are paid and I have some money left over, why not? :)

  I've also gone years without buy new clothes. I buy well made, classic items, take care of them, and I don't need to buy new items every year. I replace items as I need, but still for 2009, I haven't bought one new clothing item, with the exception of under garments.

  I hate buying new clothes. I think I've spent the past year outside of the country, and in the past 16 months I've purchased 1 sundress, 1 sweater, and 2 pairs of pants. The only reason I purchased the pants is because I lost a bunch of weight, and I got tired of having safety pins on my jeans to keep them up.

  I do plan on buying new clothes here shortly because most of my clothes now look very tired, and are too big.

  great money saving tip for clothes is trade with a friend about your size you get new, she gets new, and no one spent anything...
