STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

In general I just don't need any more stuff, so I'll just see how long I can hold out without shopping. But to answer your question, I'm planning on being on the ban until I get a new job. When that will be, I'm not sure.

The idea is that 1) I will hopefully be making more money at my next job and 2) the dress code may be different so I don't want to get too much stuff now.

Edit to Update: I just bought a car (my old 1990 model broke down). I paid for it without financing, so I'm on a ban till I see my savings go back up!

wow, zeitgeist that sounds exactly like what I am doing.

In the few weeks between my jobs, I drained my account. There is virtually nada left in there. I also want the cc debt GONE by the end of the year! I'm guessing this period of limited spending will last until March.

My wardrobe needs will change drastically once I'm working on a production (super-casual as opposed to business casual like I've been wearing for the past year) so I'll probably re-evaluate the situation in a couple of months. Plus, since I'm losing weight, I may drop a dress size in the next couple of months *crossing fingers*

I have not started mine yet but mine starts for all of February. Growing up we did it all of January but that does not work as I usuallly need an outfit for Olympus Fashion week and this year I also need a new interview suit, and a cocktail dress so January ban out Feb ban in and Feb is also the shortest month of the year :)

i'm on a partial ban $100 a month or less on clothes...and i already blew my jan budget.  i hope to be on this ban for awhile, at least until summer. i really need to beef up my savings b/f the summer and get rid of some debt. it's just soo hard b/c i already see some great things that i *need* (well like i need a hole in my head) for spring.
