Back when I was revamping my wardrobe (earlier this year and much of last year) there were times when I would receive three or four packages in a week. It was exciting, going home from work and tearing through boxes, trying on new items. I slowly filled out most of my everyday needs and found myself moving back to my frugal side - don't buy stuff I don't need. Now I've gone a couple of months hardly buying anything, and maybe I'm just going through withdrawal, but I'm kind of bored. I want to buy something new every week, but I know I would be doing it just to feed the addiction, to get that high of coming home to a package.
I certainly don't have one of everything, but I have more than enough of stuff I wear most days. Shirts, shoes, pants, all covered. So what now? I could eBay a bunch of stuff and use the proceeds to buy newer, different stuff, and just keep cycling, but I'd never get my money's worth on anything I buy if I do that. I'm thinking if I foray into some DIY that could re-ignite my enthusiasm in a new way. I'm already trying to set "goals" to keep things interesting - wear a different pair of shoes every of each week, for example.
Anyone in my boat? How do you manage? Just splurge on something every now and then? Find costume parties to go to? Start a menswear blog and hope I get some free stuff?
