If that's too long you can also sign up for 3, 6 or 9 months.
So…our participants stop buying clothes for 1 year. But what does this actually mean?
Not buying any items of clothes or accessories (bags, shoes, belts etc.) for a year
This includes underwear & socks
Not buying any fabrics in order to make clothes
Do not accept any of the above as gifts
You can swap your clothing with others
So this means they can’t consume/buy anything new at all for one year… This is pretty strict, but we want our participants to totally stop consuming for one year. We know secondhand and organic clothing are of course not that bad for the environment as fast fashion is. We think it’s (a little…) like going on a holiday: afterwards you come back with the best ideas because you really had the time to take some distance from your daily routine! Plus this really challenges our participants to come up with creative solutions to keep looking fabulous!

I'm tempted to sign up for this challenge, but because i feel that i don't have enough basic items i haven't join yet.
Yes excuses, excuses but i think i'm signing up for this sometime next week for 6 months. Three months doesn't really feel a challenge.
