			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3942" title="uniformproject" src="http://www.urbansherp.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/uniformproject.jpg" alt="uniformproject" width="664" height="266" />Sheena Matheiken is the real life <a title="amelie" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/" target="_blank">Amelie</a>. Adorable and spunky and with a style that is uniquely her own.  For <a title="The uniform project" href="http://www.theuniformproject.com/" target="_blank">The Uniform Project</a>, Matheiken has pledged to wear the same basic black dress (well 1 of 7 of the same dress) for an entire year wearing it in 365 different ways.  All to raise money for the <a title="akanksha foundation" href="http://www.akanksha.org/" target="_blank">Akanksha Foundation</a> with provides education opportunities for underprivileged children in India. At the same time she is making a powerful environmental statement in sustainable fashion and that perhaps, we can, and should, make due with less.<span id="more-3934"></span><span>She must be <a title="the satorialist" href="http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the Satorialist&#8217;s</a> dream and easily could be the entry on his site each and every day with her inspired outfits. She has a flair for the original, pairing the dress with accessories from her own closet, etsy or from donated items she reinvents her look each day. Amazing what a pair of knee socks, a belt, a collared shirt, a petticoat, or a jaunty cap can do for a little black shift dress, (sadly knee socks look ridiculous on most of us, but the impish Matheiken can totally pull it off). Seriously, she is a magician, her wedding outfit with flits of gold and bronze was just brilliant. Am always looking forward to what she will put together next.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>If you are completely bored with your wardrobe, instead of running off to the mall to fill the void, take a look at Matheiken&#8217;s diary of style and discover hidden inspiration in your own closet. Maybe you&#8217;ll find you can survive with one less dress, a purchase that might be better spent on the education of a young child.</span></p>
<p>Side note: Similar projects have been done by Andrea Zittel for her <a title="Andrea Zittel" href="http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/zittel/card2.html" target="_blank">Uniform Project</a>, she would create one new dress every six months and wear it until she designed the next one  and Alex Martin&#8217;s <a title="little brown dress" href="http://www.littlebrowndress.com" target="_blank">Brown Dress Project</a> where she also wore the same dress for one year all in stand against consumerism.</p>
