"What should I wear today? Oh my black dress. And tomorrow? My black dress again, and how about the next day too?" What if you wore the same dress every single day for an entire year? I don't know about you, but there are so few things in my closet I would wear everyday, I can count them on one hand. (But then again with Seattle weather can you blame me?) Well Sheena Matheiken of New York figured out how. She wore the same short black dress every day for an entire year to raise awareness for the Akanksha Foundation, which brings education to kids living in Indian slums.
That said, I find her ingenious. I can't remember how many times I've gone to wear something, just to remember I had just worn in a few days ago and not wanting to end up wearing the same outfit again. But Sheena has solved the puzzle I've been struggling with for years. By doing simple things such as layering with tights, pants, and other dresses and just plain accessorizing, she has created a book of look after different look, all while wearing the same dress. In many of the pictures you would never know it's the same dress each day. Not when it looks like a top in one picture and a jacket in another. That just shows what a little creative thinking and a great versatile piece (like Sheena's Eliza Starbuck dress) can do for your wardrobe, and in this economy it's just what we need.
