Same Dress for 365 Days: Could You Do It?
June 23rd
Do you think you could wear the same dress 365 days in a row and still be fashionable?
Well, Sheena Matheikenone is taking on the challenge and for a good cause. On May 2009, Sheena pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion and dubbed it “The Uniform Project”. For the challenge, Sheena has seven identical dresses, one for each day of the week and every day she styles the dress with different layers and accessories.

“The Uniform Project" is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s school project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India.”
Visit theuniformproject.com to learn more and donate.
What do you think of Sheena's pledge? Would you take on this sort of challenge to support a cause? Why or why not?

Wow I so couldn't do that! Good for her though.
I think that's pretty cool -
andit's for a good cause! I don't think I could do that either... it's too much of a hassle!
I like how it is for a good cause , but I doubt I can do that .
I think that'd be fun. You'd definitely have to get creative. :D
I'm amazed at Sheena's commitment. I'd definitely do it for a worthy cause.
Hmmm..I want to try that and see how long I could do it..
I would do it. It's not like you wear the same dress without washing it. The good thing about basic black is you can wear it so many different ways & some people dont even know it's the same thing. I hope she completes her goal! Go girl! =)
that's really cool
lol wow she's so creative with the different ways of dressing it. too bad i'm not :[ and i dont think i can do it
I don't think I could do that. Especially with the dress she chose. But kudos to her for a good, creative way to support a good cause.
I could for sure.
That sounds pretty cool! It's a great way to get creative with your outfit.
I also like that it's for a cause, and not just to see if she can pull it off.
I like how she had her friend design her such a versatile dress, and how she's supporting individual artisans while she's doing this.
That's actually an amazing idea. GREAT for the foundation :)
i wear the same clothes all the time, never wear them just once, i mix and match and wash the clothes as well so i think its ok. as long as its clean why not.
OMG, I WANT TO TRY THAT! Except not one, but two. (:
wow, creative. But i dont think i can do it
well, this girl is cute so it works.
like everyone else has mentioned, i also like the fact that she is doing this for a good cause and not just for her own curiosity. props for her. but honestly, i don't think i could last the whole 365 days. i know i could last for a couple months...maybe three or four...but after that, i think i would run out of ideas. i'm one of those people that tend to get tired of something really quick and when doing this challenge, i probably would get tired of it and find no inspiration or motivation to even think of a new way to accessorize it. but if i was doing it for a good cause like she was, i wouldn't give up and i would find a way to do it. so in a way, i believe that i could if i was truley doing it for a good cause (and had a lot of people supporting me to help keep my motivation and spirits up) but if i was just doing it to see if i could do it, theres no way i'd survive the whole twelve months.
I could probably do it for like a month. But then I would get so sick of the dress! You would have to have a lot of different layers and things to go with it.
Crazy challenge!
My roommates dared me to wear the same dress for a week... it was hard to be creative with it. I can't imagine having to figure out how to spice it up all YEAR long... YIKES. :) Good for her though, looks like she's being really creative and fun with it!!
good for her, but i think i'd run out of ideas. :o
maybe not 365 days, but probably for a week.
This is actually a really good idea, and that it's for a good cause makes it even better! Kind makes me even more committed to my goal of paring down my wardrobe to a handful of really good staples and just accessorizing the hell out of them so they always look fresh.
Must start browsing the internet now...LOL...
You ask, “Do you think you could wear the same dress 365 days in a row and still be fashionable?”
I do wear the same dress 365 days in a row. But I can't answer the second part of the question.
coool it would be very hard for meee haha but if its for a good causee..maybe
I wish I could do that but I'd look the same everyday. And what if you're supposed to go to a wedding that year? or Christmas? and forget about how hot it gets in the summer >_<
Good luck to her still! So nice to hear that she dedicated this for a community service project :)
