#NewerForLonger : I Wore The Same Dress To 3 Events in One Week!

IMG_0986-Edit

As I’ve grown older and found my personal style, when I make fashion purchases, instead of pandering to the latest trends I try and keep Vivienne Westwood’s famous saying in mind; “Buy less, choose well”. It’s better for my wallet and challenges my creativity (in a good way), and with proper care of those garments, it’s better for the environment too. Did you know that 25% of the carbon footprint of clothing comes from the way we care for them? By using the right detergent, one that cares for your clothes, you’ll keep it looking newer for longer.

With that in mind, Skip asked me to take the #SkipCareChallenge, in which I wear the same dress three times in one week, to three different industry events, washing with Skip washing powder in between each wear.  It was a statement I was really excited to make, since I’m a firm believer that fashion shouldn’t be disposable or worn only once! Some of my other blogging friends, as well as award-winning actress Enhle Mbali also took the challenge. Check out myself and Enhle’s different looks in the images below! There’s also an absolutely MASSIVE competition further down where you can attend London Fashion Week Festival, so keep scrolling to the end!
