07/28/2010 - Last week I read about 2 exercises, dubbed “shopping diets” that are currently taking place. In the first, called Six Items or Less – a global experiment examining the power of what we don’t wear, participants pledge to wear 6 items of clothing or less for one month (not including swimwear, underwear, outer jackets or coats, workout wear, shoes or accessories).

That includes regular clothing items plus outerwear, athletic-wear and Halloween costumes. Underwear, shoes or accessories are exempt.
