Adidas Adilibria Wimbledon Tennis Dress, $44.95
For those not in the know, our year without shopping includes more than just accessories and fashion pieces. We also cannot buy everyday items like socks, underwear, and athletic apparel. In a roundabout way we have limited ourselves from taking up new sports and leisure activities unless we already own the necessary gear. At this point I couldn't really start speed skating or taking ballet classes because I do not own a spandex catsuit or a tutu.
Tennis, however, I can play, as long as I am not invited to join a game at a club where there is a "white apparel only" rule on the court. (Yes those places still exist!) Fortunately, I am a proud member of my local YMCA where there is no enforced dress code. I wear my very stretched out yoga pants with a white men's Hanes tank and my regular running shoes. This, of course, does not stop me from still wanting this cute Adidas tennis dress. Since I will never actually play in Wimbledon, isn't owning a dress by that name the absolute next best thing?
Love, A

Just wondering... when you are permitted to shop again, will you go back and snatch up all the "Lust-Haves" or do you think their time will have already passed?
I think it will be a bit of both. It is exciting because we will definitely have saved ourselves money over the year from not buying these "Lust-Haves", but also it will be great to see if they have a timeless quality to them as well (which I am hoping, but not sure at this point!).
We will definitely let everyone know at the end of the project!
Love, A
