Two days left to go so I think I can officially call it.....$0 spent on clothing, shoes, purses, etc for myself for all of 2015!!!!
I made due with the socks, bras and underwear I had so I will admit I am looking forward to getting some new underthings in 2016.

Who else is still in the $0 club?

I am!

The only difficulties were:
Jeans (I ended up getting some from a friend during a clothing swap)
Dress pants (I managed to get by, but I'll need to get some in 2016)
Shoes/Boots (I thought I was going to have to buy some, but I found 3 brand new pairs all steel-toed issued by my last job. One pair is too heavy to wear often, another pair is perfect for in the office, and the third pair is perfect for general use as long as the fresh snow isn't 4 inches or more. They are like sneakers but a little thicker and warmer.)

I won't be participating in 2016, but I should only need pants and jeans maybe hiking boots and possibly underwear.

I didn't post in this thread because every time I started reading it, it made me want to buy clothing more than I would otherwise. BUT I haven't spent money on clothes, shoes, or accessories since last September. I also purged more of my clothing so my closet has shrunk a bit.

I thought I would need to cave on new sneakers and a bathing suit, but I found both at a clothing swap. (The suit was unworn, don't be grossed out.) I lost a peacoat, but I've barely needed it in this winter, and wore through some pants, but I just switched to dresses.

Next year I'm going to need some clothing for bike commuting, but otherwise I don't foresee having to buy any new clothes.
