In preparation for my spending boycott in the month of October, I summoned the absolutely fabulous
Whitney Middleton of fauxshionable.com to come throw a party in my closet. I started a new job at the beginning of October, so the temptation was strong to go out and spend money on new work clothes.

Thanks to Whitney, I don’t plan on spending a dime. Whitney came over and pulled out pieces and put things together that I wouldn’t have thought of before. She has a serious talent for rehabbing a girl’s closet (ok, and spending addiction).
If you’re participating in the “Don’t Go Over in October” challenge and starting to feel the urge to shop, consider summoning Whitney or another friend to shop your closet instead! I was quite impressed!
