I'm really enjoying this blog. Sheena Matheiken and designer Eliza Starbuck came up with a fairly basic, reversible (a huge help) black dress, and Matheiken is wearing it every day for a year as a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is trying to educate slum children in India. It's a good cause and should put the incredibly corrupt Indian government to shame (that won't happen, of course).
I expect she'll end up with a closet full of very cool shoes and accessories. Maybe she'll have a huge fund-raising eBay sale at the end of the year!

She really is inventive. I wonder if she'll make it a year? I'm thinking so. She has the $$ it appears to accessorize, those tights are not inexpensive!!! I didn't really find out if she purchased most everything or exactly how much is donated by stores???? if anything?? If donated, she certainly is having fun raising the money for a great cause... and looking better than most folks in NYC. I need to take more time to research her sight.... I just did a drive by... Idiot....
