Six Easy Pieces

My friend Sharon and I are considering going on "the clothing diet". Named after a New York Times article about a movement among consumers to buy less, the "clothing diet" is a regimen in which one rotates the same six pieces for a month. I can change accessories and shoes as often as I would like.

I don't know if I can handle such a challenge. We thought about expanding the idea to eight pieces. In addition, the only thing I love more than shopping is clothes. Could I subsist on just six or eight pieces of clothing for a month? Will it just give me the urge to buy home goods instead? Will I choose something sparkly and then hate all things sparkly for the rest of my life?

Should I choose to accept the challenge, my six easy pieces would be:
  • jeans
  • black harem pants
  • black blazer
  • black dress
  • leopard cardigan
  • beige blouse
  • black t-shirt (bonus)
  • white t-shirt (bonus)

It's worth at least giving a try. What do you think?

    I couldn't just go black and white. I could rotate the same pieces in a few different colors, maybe.

    I'd add color with the accessories, jewelry and shoes. I'm still on the fence about it. It might be a good experiment for two weeks.
