New Job... Same Dress

 

I started a new job today as a copywriter for an advertising company; I wasn't sure how dressy to be. I decided to wear the Little Black Dress (obviously) with a dark gray cami underneath and black heels. I dressed it down a bit by wearing a jean jacket and I carried a canvas bag, in place of a purse. I left the house like a top-notch classy writer... carrying my Google mug full of caffeine and some papers. I'm proud to report that the outfit AND the first day were both a success.

PS- I let one person at work in on the experiment, but everyone else has NO idea!

Inspiration for The Little Black Dress experiment

My inspiration for this came from Society Stylist, Elizabeth Hearst.

Would I be able to wear the same Little Black Dress for 30 days?? I doubt it, so that's why I've challenged myself to 28 days... the entire month of February.

I will, for 1 month, 30 days, less than 9% of an entire year... wear the same thing. In fashion focuses Orange County, CA, I will dare to be different and will wear the same thing every day, only accessorizing with cardigans, belts, scarves, tights, etc.

Thoughts are running through my head and I'm beginning to wonder... will people notice that I'm wearing the same dress everyday? Do people REALLY care? Will it be easier to "decide what to wear in the morning?

So many questions and the month of February holds the answers. Check back to see pictures of each day's look and my thoughts and experiences.

Wish me and my Little Black Dress lots of luck!
