Ok, so I have fallen off the wagon a little. I replaced two sweaters, which I could sort of justify in that I wasn't really getting anything new, just replacing things which had worn out or disappeared.
Then I encountered February. You know, that month which is so grey and depressing that they should file it under "misery" in the dictionary. And I bought a pair of shoes. Red suede with a red and pink rosette. They were fun. They were spontaneous. They were on sale. They allowed me to unilaterally declare my own personal day of spring. They were so very much not in my year without stuff.
Since November, when I declared my stuff-free year, I have bought two sweaters, a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes. The sweaters and the jeans were replacement items.
It is vastly less stuff than I used to buy, and I have been much more thoughtful about my purchasing, so I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself.

It is a great idea. A year without stuff I mean. I think I will try it too.
