I'm thinking of approaching this task as a plan of how I intend to spend money in the future.
Andy has been buying exclusively fair-trade clothing for several years now. It works well for him, as, although the clothes he buys are pricey, they are good quality 'timeless' items that last well. He possibly spends less on clothes now than he used to, when you look at his spending over the course of a year.
I've been doing the same challenge, but only since this new year. I think it's a bit different for me, as, being a girl, I think clothes are a bit more important for some reason; perhaps there's more of an emotional/expressive thing there.
I've been buying my clothes largely from charity shops; t-shirts from M&S, American Apparel and Howies (when they're in the sale) because they're often a bit stinky second hand.
I'm finding that a lot of fair trade clothes aren't my style; they seem to appeal to a more ethnic taste than mine for some reason.
It's been an interesting exercise so far, as knowing I can't buy anything from mainstream clothes shops, means I just don't go in them anymore. Which means I've no idea at all what's in fashion. But that's okay - I'm probably getting too old for all that anyway...
