Fashionistas dream of having a new dress everyday. And one fashionista is making that dream come true, while spending just $1 every day!
While blog hopping, I stumbled upon this blog by a pretty American girl named Marisa. In her introductory page, she said she was in a "creative funk" and wanted to push her creative boundaries while quenching her thirst for fashion.
So what she did was to embark on a year-long project where she'd take a piece of old clothing, usually bought from thrift shops or flea markets, and use her trusty sewing machine and imagination to reinvent the old dress and transform it into a new one.
She's now on her 262nd day, and so far she's been coming up with some interesting outfits. Lucky her, a lot of the outfits she found had nice fabrics, so it makes the job simpler.
Another reason why I find this blog interesting is because Arnie and I had thought of a similar project before. I'd scour flea markets in HKG and Japan, and Arnie will use her New York fashion training to transform it into something new and chic.
We haven't gotten around to making this project real, but after poring through this new dress a day blog, I think it's about time to resurrect the project and finally get it off the ground.
