Can you wear the same dress for one whole year?




Found this article last Monday featured in the Telegraph about a fabulous New Yorker named Sheena Matheiken. This stylish lady had the brilliant idea to make a statement against consumerism by wearing the same dress (styled in different ways) for one whole year... Hey! that's 365 days of one dress. I decided to write a little something about her in my humble blog because I truly admire her, for many things. First what a fantastic initiative and what a creative (and fashionable) way to put it in practice. Second, that's perseverance and a whole lot of guts! The pixie-like hipster took pictures of her outfits almost everyday and even went on holidays with her luggage containing ONE dress- and many fabulous accessories of course. It seems simple,  find a great little black dress or basically any cute dress and wear it 365 different ways.  Piece of cake! The challenge: Does one have enough accessories? Does one have enough creativity to style it? Does one have a washer/dryer at home to clean it (at least) every other day? Good for you Sheena! Fab example to follow!
