Love the hat and glasses! Shoes remind me of some undersea crustacean. Not that that's a bad thing!

Hi, just read the article on you in the Sydney Morning Herald Style liftout. It's a great read, and you're on the front cover - congrats! Hopefully this'll get some more Aussies involved :) --xo.

Just read about this in the Dom Post, one of the better ideas for provoking change i've heard in a while. Loving the glasses! Good luck for your remaining 253.5 days :)

Sorry Dom Post = Wellington, New Zealand's 'Dominion Post' - wasn't thinking! Kia kaha, keep it up :)

I've been doing it for a year or so just because I can't get bored in the morning choosing something to wear. In my case, not a black dress nor the same design, but jeans and a white shirt in different designs. It can be very formal design or a relaxed cotton white shirt embroided in white.It's kind of playful because I decide the outfit I'm going to wear in the mornings acording to my agenda and mood. Accessories are also a very important item, and shoes and bags... Well, I'm not sure I'm helping the enviromnent.

It's hardly sustainable fashion when you are going through an endless supply of accessories.

so I can't remember where I stumbled across your website but I do check it out pretty frequently and just yesterday afternoon when I was bored at work I thought to myself 'I bet she lives somewhere nearby in brooklyn.' I work right by union square and have a few close friends over by greenpoint/williamsburg area and I saw how you get a lot of stuff from beacon's closet. So last night around 7 I was by messerole and manhattan ave and I caught the back of you as you got off a bus! I was like OMG! to my friend and she was like wtf? I just thought it was pretty crazy, I didn't say anything 'cause you would have thought I was crazy but I just wanted to let you know. What you're doing is great, best of luck with everything. -- Nelly (xnelly@hotmail.com)

OMG, I love your shoes. Can you tell me where you got them?
Posted 1371 days ago.
I do not like it. Sorry. The vest has no shape to it really and the dress needs more structer. And the leggings look kind of off with the dress. Not a big fan of ties either. Or fedoras.

I read about your story in a Sydney newspaper and I am entirely impressed! It is such a unique interesting way to promote charitable work! This outfit is really cool! I can't believe how different it looks each day!

What about selling the dress and donating the profits! Team the dress with a "how to wear" it and the money you'll make will really make this a sustainable project! I'll order one immediately!

I found your website only today after an article in an Australian newspaper. I LOVE this concept. The amazing versatility of such a simple piece of clothing. It's making me rethink my wardrobe entirely. Congratulations

I agree with Kylie Chapman - you should market this dress. I would buy one immediately.

My daughter has just spent 6 months in India - loved it. Now working with orphans in Kathmandu. Should be home in 6 weeks after 2 years travelling. After her experiences in India I wonder what she is going to do with her HUGE wardrobe when she gets home !! Get idea. Love it. Annette
