Rehab Starts Today… (holy crap!!!)

Well, here we go! And here I am. In a place I never thought I would be: Fashion Rehab. Not to be confused with Style Rehab, Fashion Rehab is more about curbing constant consumerism (as explained above) than about making over someone’s look. I think that I have a strong sense of style, if I may be so bold. I would describe my style as Chameleon Conservative. I have a million different styles of clothing in my closet - ok, maybe not a million, but it’s not far off! I feel at ease declaring that I have a strong sense of style because I truly love fashion! I appreciate style whether it’s an amazing designer ensemble or seeing someone on the streets of Toronto wearing something unique and fresh. I recognize people who are well put together, who take time for their appearance, as kin folk. This isn’t about being shallow or judging a book by its cover, it’s simply about identifying something in a stranger that you can immediately relate to. But I digress (something I imagine will happen with frightening consistency over the next year)…

Today is about Day 1 of a crazy, nuts, bananas idea that my best friend and I came up just a few weeks ago. No More Shopping! That’s it! Fini!

I don’t think it has really sunk in yet… at all. Though I do feel a looming sense of panic, dread, maybe even a little despair? Oh God… what have we gotten ourselves into???

(One day gone. Only 364 left!)
