in which I love clothes entirely too much

I'm thinking about starting a livejournal community that takes some of the ideas from both Wardrobe Refashion and The Great American Apparel Diet. Both are sites that encourage people to purchase less new clothing. Participants pledge to go without new clothing purchases for a specified amount of time. Both allow people to post about how they're accomplishing this.

I'll post here when I've had time to plan it a bit more. Current goal(ish): have a community ready within a week, so if anyone else wants to join up then, we can aim for a start date of September 1st. (People would be able to sign up at any time, and for any chosen amount of time. I don't have any desire to be strict about this, but starting at the beginning of a month seems easier. Also, theoretically we in the US should have most of the back-to-school shopping done.)

( a few more thoughts )

Name thoughts: clothes_horse. Okay, that name probably works only for me, because of a funny family story about the term. clothes_fast, because we're fasting (abstaining) from buying new clothes. clothes_diet or wardrobe_diet. Hm...

Any thoughts, anyone else? Comments are hidden, so if you're feeling shy, no one else will know that you commented.
