Certain TV shows promote excessive spending and think to be fashion forward; you need to own a closet like Victoria Beckham’s. Fashion is a form of art and allows you to express who you are through the clothes you wear. Shows that feature young, well groomed, rich girls who appear in a new dress in every scene are expressing their wealth as opposed to their creative selves.
Sheena Mathieken on the other hand is showing us all how one dress can be worn to just about any look or event. She has taken on the challenge to wear one dress everyday for a whole year as part of a Uniform Project
All the donations made from the project will benefit the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots organization in India that helps fund education and provide school uniforms in the country's slums.
She accessorises the basic dress with vintage and borrowed extras. The dress is a basic black dress that can be worn back to front or as an open tunic.
Clicking through the pictures I thought it was amazing how this girl seemed to look fashionable and completely different everyday but with the same dress.
It is important to see the positive message in her mission. We buy a lot of clothes but we don’t really need them. And people in other parts of the world can barely afford a uniform.
The time has come for you to take what you already own and inject your personality into it!
