1. What is the WHOLE infinitive phrase?
2. Re-think what this phrase is doing. Re-read the five examples of infinitive phrases I already gave you. Also study this: "Adverbs can be single words, or they can be phrases or clauses. Adverbs answer one of these four questions: How? When? Where? and Why?"

Whole infinitive phrase:
to buy some new clothes for the summer
The main clause is "I need" -- and the infinitive phrase is serving as a noun, the direct object of "need." See the second example here:
