Dressember 2021

Dressember begins tomorrow and this is your annual reminder that it’s bigger than a dress!

Yes, Dressember is a style challenge, and I participate in Dressemberbound, which combines the challenge of wearing a dress (or tie) every day for the month of December with Disneybound prompts.

Last year I wore the same five or six dresses all month long, primarily wearing my white dress and a red dress. This year I wanted to further challenge myself – and to inspire more conversation around why I’m wearing a dress every day – so I decided to wear just one dress for the whole month!

In all fairness, I’m a stay at home mom and don’t go very many places so my presence is mainly online (follow my Instagram here).

I’m also making this commitment because of the impact fast fashion on the human trafficking network. Many of the people making the garments we buy for inexpensive and wear only once or twice are underpaid and in poor working conditions or worse. Last year I was committed to not buying anything new, this year I am going to style the same dress 31 ways to show that anyone can do this challenge – even with a smaller wardrobe.
