day 100 of #tracywearswool: Halleluiah!

 Day 100 of the #tracywearswool dress challenge — I made it!!  Halleluiah!!

But the ending is bittersweet.  It’s like reading a great book… and when you reach the end… you wish it wasn’t over!

I can’t explain ALL the benefits of this challenge, and it is going to be different for everyone.

Although it starts with the dress, it is more than that:

I chose to blog about my experience because I wanted to develop a better blogging habit.  The dress challenge gave me the perfect platform for doing this. I blogged every day for the 100 days, and a few days before!

Body image — I can say the insecurity and embarrassment/shame that I have about my own body… has improved tremendously.  Taking 100 selfies will do that to you.  And being involved with a huge group of people, who are also taking daily selfies, and none of whom have the “standardized perfect bodies”. Instead, I have grown to believe that we all have perfect bodies for where we are in life… and we should love them!

It’s ok to open up and be completely vulnerable, even publicly and in front of people you barely know.  Not only OK… but empowering.  Own It. Love It. Live It.

If a group of people can unite together over a small clothing item, and become a huge supporting network for everyone, a safe haven, a refuge…. then I have greater hope for humanity.

Most people don’t notice what I wear, and generally don’t really care. Most people also seem to think I look better than I think I do.

New friends are out there waiting to be found.

Several days after taking a photo…. I seem to look better than I thought I did when I first looked at the photograph.

And finally, I can wear the same article of clothing for 100 days, not repeat the same outfit, never get bored of what I am wearing, and…. still love the dress in the end.

I will stick around in the Facebook group to add encouragement to the friends who I have made that started after I did.

And I will also join my friends in the over 10o days Facebook group who started before me.

And… I get to start wearing my Sierra tomorrow, and order my reward dress!!

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
