One Dress October has been something I’ve wanted to participate in since I heard about it a few years ago. However, I either wasn’t in a position to do so (like when I didn’t have my own washer or dryer) or I just felt too lazy to try it out.
This year I decided I was going to do it.
So, what is One Dress October? Just as the name implies, you only wear one dress for the entire month of October.
Why would anyone subject themselves to this? The main idea is to learn how to utilize everything in your closet and how to accessorize differently. I found it especially helpful because I kept grabbing for the same outfits over and over again.
By limiting myself, I forced myself to get more creative.
While the point is to wear the same dress for all 31 days, but I had to make some reservations. It was a busy month at work, and we had a big tailgate-themed event at work, so it wouldn’t have been appropriate to wear a dress every single day. Therefore, I decided it would only be applicable on non-casual work days.
Originally, this meant I would wear the dress every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for the month of October (we have $5 jeans days every Wednesday, with the donations going to local charities), which would have totaled 13 days in the same dress.
However, some things came up (like the entire week when I wore jeans to work because I had to set up for the aforementioned tailgate-themed event), so it only ended up totaling 10 days in the same dress.
That being said, I thoroughly loved the experience. Here’s a rundown of how it went.
