Sara’s blog
Welcome to my blog where I talk about other blogs I have enjoyed reading!
This week I have been really inspired by two women who blogged about their exciting experiments with
shopping and fashion. First of all, there’s the English woman, Belinda, who didn’t buy any new clothes
for a year, and then decided to only shop at charity shops. In her blog, Belinda explains that she loved
fashion but she didn’t like the fashion industry and that she was fed up with worrying about whether her
clothes were ethically made or not. For a year she didn’t walk into a single shopping mall or department
store. Can you imagine? She was also very good at sewing so she was able to adapt the clothes she
already had. If she had something that didn’t suit her or wasn’t fashionable any more, she wasn’t afraid
to change it and make it look different. She says she liked knowing that she would never meet someone
wearing exactly the same thing.
Another woman, a young American called Jennifer, did something even braver. She actually wore the same
‘little black dress’ for a year (well, she had seven identical dresses – one for each day of the week).
People asked her if it was boring to put on the same style of dress every day but being so creative, she
found it easy and fun to invent 365 ways of wearing the same dress. In the photos on the blog she looks
amazing just by changing accessories (hats, scarves, belts, etc.), but she only used things she already
owned or that people gave her. So, why did she do it? She says she wanted to set herself a style
challenge, but she also realized that she wanted to do something useful with her creativity. So she set up
the Uniform project and asked people who visited her website to donate money to help send street
children in India to school. She has not only given people lots of great fashion ideas, but has also
succeeded in raising 100,000 dollars and sending over 300 children to school. I think that’s really cool!
