StressMen are lucky, they say. They just have to put on a suit and they’re good to go. In some professions at least.
They’re lucky because they don’t wind up in that extend of stress that a woman can accumulate before going to a party! They’re lucky because they don’t have so many (sometimes overwhelming)choices. But they’re also lucky because they often really don’t care so much. I love clothes and sometimes my heart just pounds wanting more, but I also seriously consider getting rid of it all, and just slip into the black uniform everyday. The relief…to have eliminated that stress too!
UniformBecause of these thoughts I remembered that Some time ago I read about a girl Sheena Matheiken @matheiken making a project about wearing the same Little Black Dress everyday for a year.

Woman Wears Same Dress 365 Ways for Charity | Suite101.com
Sheena Matheiken, who lives in New York City, finished what she called The Uniform Project to raise awareness for The Akanksha Foundation, she told CNN on Tuesday, May 18, 2010.
Matheiken, who designed seven identical "little black dresses" set out to reinvent the same dress 365 ways, one for every day of the year. She did it, too, using additional clothes and accessories purchased from thrift and second-hand stores, vintage shops, eco-friendly designers, and donations from strangers around the world.
Matheiken and The Uniform ProjectMatheiken christened her quest The Uniform Project, based on her experiences growing up in India and wearing uniforms to school every day. Despite the uniforms and conformity of dress, Matheiken wrote in The Uniform Project's blog that almost everyone found a way to bend the rules and express their individuality.
To start The Uniform Project, Matheiken designed seven identical cotton black dresses with short sleeves and pockets "to appease my deep aversion for carrying purses," she says on her blog. Next, she set out to reinvent the dress every day for an entire year. Matheiken's dresses were designed by herself with the help of Eliza Starbuck, a friend.
