Too many clothes
Aug. 2nd, 2006 01:06 pmFound this today via a link from an MSN article on reducing spending:
the Brown Dress project
In brief, this woman wore the same brown dress, which she had made herself, every day for a year. The point? I'll quote from the FAQ:
The woman of the brown dress has started a new project: she's now going to wear only apparel she has made herself. Her current wardrobe includes four tops, six bottoms, and a bathrobe (she no longer has the brown dress). With that in mind, maybe I can afford to pare down after all....

"Was this a feminist thing? Probably. Also an art thing. Also a let's stop wasting time and money thing. But on a feminist note, let's stop agreeing that the best way for women (in particular) to 'express themselves' is by purchasing new wardrobe items and putting together daily outfits."( musing on having a lot of clothes )
