the uniform project

it is Sheena's blog about wearing the same black dress every day for a year (?!) but styling it totally differently. it's some how for a good cause, but all that aside, she's got great style.



also, after reading up a bit, i found out that her friend designed and made the 7 identical dresses for her, which seem to me to be the perfect LBD:
"The mastermind behind the uniform dress is my friend and designer, Eliza Starbuck. The dress is designed so it can be worn both ways, front and back, and also as an open tunic. It’s made from a durable, breathable cotton, good for New York summers and good for layering in cooler seasons. With deep hidden pockets to appease my deep aversion for carrying purses. " i want one.

  6. what an amazing dress! I'm still not sure I could handle wearing it every single day like that, but those pics look ace!

  7. Nice idea to construct a dress you can wear in many different ways, really.

    But one dress for one year wouldn't be enough for me. I love standing in front of a full and bright coloured closet actually...

    What about you, personally?

  8. thimbles- that would be way too much laundry, or if it was me, just one smelly dress!

    jayne- i'm in awe-some as well!

    damsels- oh yes!

    indy- thank you!! your blog is quite fantastic too!

    eve- thank you for the tag, i already did that questionnaire, but maybe i'll do it again with completely different answers!

    oranges and apples- oh me too!

    dotti-i'm just like you. i really admire what sheena's done, but i would get very tired of that dress after a week or so! i love a bight closet as well.
