One Dress - Twenty-One Day Challenge

Just around the corner in every woman's mind - is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume, which will make an enchanting new creature of her. ~Wilhela Cushman

Wardrobe stretching 101…….

Do you have that favorite dress that you wish you could do more with? Ever struggle to find different ways to wear your favorite clothes?

I am always preaching to my clients the importance of building a basic wardrobe, and this led me to wonder how I could help people see the importance of a versatile basic wardrobe.

So I created the One Dress – Twenty-one Day Challenge. You know the whole practice what you preach idea. I took my very cost effective basic dress (a Banana Republic factory store purchase) through the 21 workdays in September. Using only what I had in my own closet, I showed the versatility of a basic, and how to transition an item from summer to autumn. I really focused on making each look something that you can easily wear to the office, but also to any event after work, whether it is a nice happy hour with co-workers or a simple dinner with friends or your spouse.

I used my Facebook page to showcase these looks everyday in September. You can check out the pictures and my Facebook page here: http://tinyurl.com/syb-mpls

I have turned those twenty-one looks into a movie that you can enjoy right on my blog. Comment back on what day you love the most and share this movie with your friends. I want to hear what your “favorite day” turns out to be.

Grab some popcorn, sit back, and relax. I hope you enjoy “One Dress, Twenty-One Days” the movie.

  1. Wow - great accessorising. Great ideas - the only thing I missed was a shawl or poncho... or some kind of hoodie. Perhaps next time.
