Mistawho: I have found that the easiest way to get past spending like you stated is by staying out of the stores. I definitely spend less money even when I go less to the grocery store.
Also, I go in with a list even if it's Target or where ever and I stick to the list. There have been times when I have seen items marked down to 75% off that make great gifts and holiday presents. But that comes like a surprize to come across it.
The best thing is to allocate so much to your clothes each month and see if you can stay within that limit. Next month, lower the amount. It becomes like a game. You can also try finding mix match clothing that you can interchange. Also, by buying basic colors and just adding a couple of seasonable colors as accessories may help you as well.
