The Seven Dresses of Dressember


As many of you know, during this year's Dressember (31 days of dresses), I gave myself the personal challenge of wearing the same seven dresses all month. I did this to not only amp it up a notch, but to practice resourcefulness, to learn to appreciate the versatility of clothes, stretch my creativity, and to make a point to any of you who opted out of Dressember because you only have a few dresses. You might not even have seven dresses, but if you have one to three (and a washing machine...or washboard), I'm convinced that- with a little creativity and determination- it can be done. So start prepping for next year! ;)

Anyway, I've been itching to post these little collages for a few days now, as I've been putting them together. Each one shows one of the seven dresses and the four or five ways I wore them in December.

I had so much fun with Dressember this year, and I think a big part of that was because so many of you participated! Thank you to all who did, and even those who didn't, but who showed support for my little project! Here's to a new year and 11 and a half months to get ready for Dressember 2011! ;)

i think you did a great job with these - they might have been the perfect 7 dresses for the challenge. Until next Dressember!

I loved all your looks but I think the pink dress looks are my favourite. Thank you so much for introducing me to Dressember I'm looking forward to it again next year (although a warm month would be fun too). xx

New reader here! What a cool personal style challenge! You've inspired me... I kind of want to try something similar (limited my wardrobe for a month to see what I can come up with). Love your blog, too!
