However, I'm doing a similar project wherein I only wear one color a month. To really limit my choices and think about the things I need and don't need. I also only listen to one kind of music each month, work with one kind of art medium, and teach my son based on the month's shapes, letters, number, etc.<br /><br />You can read all about it at:<br /><br />http://causeartandlearningisfun.blogspot.com/<br /><br />So, yeah, here's to solidarity in our clothing projects!

I can't bring myself to knit socks since my husband and I manage to mangle them on our ancient floors anyway.

Have your friends go through their closets looking for clothes they don't wear any more, bag um up and have a party where you all go through them. I've had two parties like that and you won't believe what you will go home with. Even if your friends are all different sizes, everyone has something to small or big in their wardrobe. You can even make some money for the next party (for wine and cheese) if you bring the clothes that no one wants to a consignment store afterwards!

I'm a bit of a clothes-hog, so I could do with some time OUT of the stores. I think I'll start smaller and see if I can keep it up. Thanks for the inspiration :) Wow. That's a super idea.

Because I am working on a series of Minnesota barns, and another of New Mexico pueblo churches. Suzy, I think that's actually very fashion-forward of you.
