A tag hag is someone that is compelled to buy brand name clothes all the time. You see I don't have this problem. I have been CLEAN lol for two months. And everyone knows it, yes I still window shop at Dillards where even employees check up on me. I look at things and put them in my eternal perspective box and tell myself eternally those would look good on anybody in a year from now, eternally, that is as far as my mind stretches temporally.
It's hard but I am being numb to it for the most part, but mentally checking out when ads come out. I wonder why I put myself through the misery of subscribing to the Anthropology catalogue. Looking isn't bad right? I even had someone buy me a jacket. It borderline breaking rules, I think she just feels really bad for my holey jeans, and six year old t-shirts that profess my love for summer soccer tournaments.
So I'm alive, I'm breathing in a simplified manner and the C02 leaving my body isn't wondering when Dillard's is having their additional off sale.

I went a year without buying clothes.
I think I need to give extra attention to what I do have,
I love clothes, but in MODERATION
The Fashion Fast Rules
THE RULES
1. No purchases of new outerwear, clothes, shoes, or accessories EXCEPT:
--undergarments/ underpinnings
-- socks
-- stockings/ tights
2. Particular items cannot be requested as gifts nor can I direct anyone to purchase a wardrobe item for me.
3. Gifts and freebies can be accepted and kept.
4. There can be no exchanging of the gift or freebie, unless it is the wrong size or damaged.
5. Hand-me-downs should not be accepted unless they are framed as a gift.
6. All wardrobe items can be repaired, hemmed, dyed, or otherwise altered to provide variety.
7. Special occasions will not warrant a new outfit, unless I am requested as a bridesmaid and need to purchase a dress.
8. Should a wardrobe staple such as a white tank top or t-shirt become stained or damaged, it can be replaced. This only goes for necessities.
9. New clothing may be purchased if a situation arises where I cannot get home to access the things in my closet. This only includes extreme predicaments such as: if my luggage gets lost or delayed while traveling or my shirt gets thrown up on while riding the subway to work-- both of which, I sincerely hope, never occur.
10. Borrowing items from other people is permitted. Permanently expanding my wardrobe is not.

Hey Jenny!
I loved your recent blog--I totally know what you mean--but I've never heard it called tag hag. :) And I'm SO SORRY about last Tuesday, I really wanted to be there, but then couldn't make it, there was something that happened and I had to take care of it. I would've called, but I didn't have your number--and I'm still trying to figure out the new facebook. :) So, when you have another one, please still invite me!
I am not sure if this is the right blog for you... you are seem to post on a few. Let me know...
Thanks for finding me! I will be sure to keep tabs on you...
