So wearing a dress everyday for a month might not sound like much of a challenge for most women, but for me it's going to be interesting.
I've had an on-off relationship with dresses throughout my life. When I was little, I refused to wear anything but dresses and my mother and nan used to make me a new stylish number every so often to go with my frilly socks and golden hair.
Then, somewhere around primary school, the wind changed, I turned tomboy and I refused to ever where a dress. Ever. Just was not going to happen, and if it did, there was bike shorts to the knees poking out the bottom to ruin the look. I owned a part of skorts as a compromise.
The dress-free zone has been pretty firmly established with me since then, out of habit if nothing else. Pants are just so convenient, especially for those of us who tend to fall down a lot (hello knickers!) and can't ever seem to remember to shave your legs while a razor is at hand.
So a dress (or skirt) a day for a month is an interesting concept for me. I'm interested to see if I can do it - I already know I don't own enough dresses to get through an entire week. I hate shopping, but not sure if my employers will embrace the nude work week.
So here's to re-engaging my femininity (eek?), putting the pants away with the winter blankets, and raising money for a great cause. I'm going to try to take a photo a day and upload them here at least once a week.
There you go, I've said it out loud, now I have to make it happen. Wish me luck!
