Day 13

Just realized that the pants I'm wearing today are forming a small hole on the knee. While I do feel validated in my purchases when I actually hold onto them long enough to wear them out, I'm a little nervous. What if all of my clothes are worn out in a year... I will have nothing appropriate to wear to work and will subsequently be fired. And broke. Do all paths of this experiment lead to me being poor?

Yesterday, I talked about how many clothing-related emails tempt me on a daily basis. You know what else I think is problematic? Store credit cards. I think my mom has one for every store she's ever shopped in. I have four: Banana Republic, Express, Gap and Nordstrom. Is four a lot or not? I can't even gauge because I'm not sure what shopping habits are normal, and when I reflect on my shopping role model (my mother), I'm pretty sure her habits are a bit extreme. Sorry mom!
