The Uniform Project

Imagine that you have to wear the same black dress/suit every day for an entire year. Sound depressing? Think it would keep you from socializing with friends or going to the same place more than once? One girl manages to make the best of it. In fact, she's downright flaunting her one-piece wardrobe.

While jumping around on Unclutterer.com yesterday, I discovered this interesting site called The Uniform Project. This woman has pledged to wear the same dress every day for a year as part of an effort to raise money for uniforms for children in India. She layers and accessorizes the outfits and posts every day's get-up on her website. After looking through a month's worth, it seems to me you could save a lot more dough by having a more varied wardrobe, what with all the money it must have cost to buy all the shoes, layers, and accessories for each outfit. Then I discovered that a lot of sites donate clothes to her. Nevertheless, it's quite fascinating to check out. I don't think I could ever wear any of the outfits in public as they look more like costumes than actual everyday clothing, but whatever. Power to her.

Day one.

Day 63.

Day 40.

  1. so i'm fairly certain this dress doesn't even count as a sacrifice because her outfits look so drastically different EVERY day with all the crazy accessories. also, does she turn it backwards to get rid of the buttons?

    and any news on the house?
