The Uniform Project-Little Black Dress for a BIG cause


{via the uniform project}
Working in the non-profit sector has inspired me to look for other creative ways to give back.

This week, I came across a clever campaign founded by the lovely Sheena Matheiken, who has teamed up with her friend, designer Eliza Starbuck, to raise money for the Akanksha Foundation which raises funds to bring quality education to children living in the slums of India. Sheena has pledged to wear the same dress, uniquely accessorized each day for an entire year to help support the cause. See how one versatile wardrobe staple and a keen eye for style transform fashion into a stylish way of giving back.

I'm planning on doing my part by donating accessories and later purchasing this LBD once it becomes available on the market. I really admire Sheena's philanthropic drive and not to mention her ability to rock a killer bob.
