Have I cheated?

So I have been doing fairly well with my commitment to buying only used clothing. I have been so close to buying new heels an incredible amount of times. I almost bought an adorable shirt from a marvelous shop on 16th called the Candystore Collective (isn't the video on their home page just incredibly adorable?). I was so easily influenced by the Sufjan Stevens music, old time candies and handmade journals that I was so close to buying some marvelous items... But that is another topic for another time...

Right now, I want to know if I have cheated. Cheated on my pact to save the world (in my own, minuscule way) by only buying used clothing items... Since it's now summer and I need some fresh outfits and modern looks for this next season, my mind kept wandering back to the most important question yet: what about swim suits? I have asked an assortment of acquaintances and friends if they think a swim suit counts as underwear. 100% of the people said that they believed a swim suit counts as underwear. If you don't know what 100% is, I have below a fairly easy to understand pie chart of what it looks like.




The second question I asked was whether or not, if I bought the swim suit, if it would count as cheating. Once again, it was 100% in my favor, and the visual explanation is below.



So I went ahead and ordered some fabulous bathing suits from some rather fabulous websites.

But I still feel iffy wearing them and still being able to say that I have only been buying used clothes for the past 6 months and 7 days....

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
