The Six Month No-Buy challenge is back! The last The Six Month No-Buy challenge is back!

The last time I did this was two years ago and I learned so much from it that I decided to do it again.

I’m challenging myself not to buy any new clothes for six months.

We’re 11 days into a new year and I’ve had a few urges to buy stuff, but really, I want to focus on the clothes I already own, wearing and styling them in ways that feels fun and fresh.

Even though I don’t shop fast fashion anymore and mainly shop secondhand, I sometimes still use shopping as a crutch or as an emotional response. I go for a little while without buying anything then I impulse buy a bunch of stuff I’ve saved on Vinted.

So I’m taking six months to recalibrate. No new clothes or shoes. 

I’ve deleted Vinted and Depop off my phone. 

I’m scrolling Pinterest for outfit inspiration for the clothes I already own. 

Let the challenge begin.

Could you go six months without buying anything new clothes?

Allow me to (re)introduce myself! There have been Allow me to (re)introduce myself!

There have been some new faces around here recently so I thought the time was ripe to say hello!

If you’ve been following me for a while, it’s nice to see you! If you’ve only just discovered my account, hello!

This millennial cat mom is all about rewearing the clothes I own, baking sweet treats and curling up with a good book. 

Welcome to my little slice of the internet.

Introduce yourself in the comments so I can get to know you too!

Come with me to the @maison.ghibli.uk pop up in Lo Come with me to the @maison.ghibli.uk pop up in London! 

If you’re also a Studio Ghibli fan, you have until 11 January to check this out! ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ is one of my favorite films so I was really excited to take a look at some of the merch they had available, though that wasn’t the only Ghibli film included in the shop!

If you’re planning a visit, here’s a couple of things to note: 

-When I went last week (on a Tuesday), there were twelve people in the queue at 10:55am.

-It’s exceptionally busy at the weekend, according to one of the security guards. It was busy while I was there but not too bad. I did feel like I could take my time browsing. 

-They have sold out of some merch, but there’s also an online store, it’s worth taking a look there if you’re looking for something specific.

- The address is 237 Brompton Road, SW3. The closest station is South Kensington, off the Circle and District lines and then a ten minute walk.

I left with a Totoro mug and a fluffy Catbus keychain, both of which have been bringing me lots of joy, though I was definitely tempted to bring home more!

I, much like Lizzie McGuire, am an outfit repeater and I love finding new ways to style the clothes I already own.

If you’re looking for a little more of that in 2026? 

Well I’m your girl!
