What will Kate buy today?
Kate Bingaman is a second year grad student in design at the University of Nebraska. She is on a mission to track and photograph everything she buys during grad school. Kate's look at her consumption habits begs several interesting questions: Are we what we buy? Are we defined by our choice of brands, movies, books, and foods? Why do we buy what we do? What is the history behind each object purchased?

This was facinating.
You may think she's nuts, but I see real restraint. Where are the random shoes you can't live without or the earings that have to go with the outfit you just bought even though you don't really have anyplace to wear it, but the color was nice on you.
Maybe a weekly check on Kate can curb my shopping needs.
