tracy wears wool

100 day dress challenge

I HAD SO MUCH FUN LAST YEAR… I AM DOING IT AGAIN, STARTING ON 1/1/2022! SAME CHALLENGE, DIFFERENT DRESS…. AND I WILL BUY MY OWN REWARD DRESS.

This year, I picked the willow – a 3/4 sleeve merino wool swing dress from Wool& in Ochre. Love the color and I love the fit.

Since the same principles and reasons apply, I have kept my original 2021 post content. Scroll down to see the posts from both years, with the most current post at the top.

ORIGINAL POST FOR 2021:

FOLLOW ME ON MY 100 DAY DRESS CHALLENGE!!

I have been invited to do a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& and am super excited about all the benefits of this challenge.

I hope to:

Spend less time and money doing laundry – who doesn’t love that!
Simplify my morning routine, making “what to wear” the easiest question of the day
Get more wears out of my dress –100 days worth, just to start!
Recognize what I need and don’t need in my closet — great because I am limited on space!
Cut down on shopping — only getting things that “go” with the dress ( but first I will “shop” my closet — and donate what isn’t in line with my new wardrobe goals.
Spend the money and time that I would normally spend on clothes in more meaningful activities.
Connect with others through the private Facebook Group — as we explore the possibilities of this challenge
Reduce my impact and carbon footprint on the planet as I learn to let go of my grip on consumerism.
And. If I complete this challenge, the great folks at Wool& will gift me $100 toward my new wool& dress. How cool is that!!

As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with.

This is what my 2021 dress looked like. Totally stood up to 100 days of daily wear, and still in pristine shape. ** Although I did dye her midnight blue about 3/4 of the way through the original challenge

I chose the ROWENA style, because I felt it had the most versatility… and I started this challenge on January 20th, 2021 in the Pacific Northwest. But there are a lot of other great styles.
