Could you get up and put on the same thing EVERY day? Admittedly, it eliminates a wardrobe spin during the morning hustle1 but could you really ignore a new sweater or that favourite silk shirt and opt2 for the SAME ensemble3 day in, day out? For years?
你能每天早上起床，都穿上一模一样的衣服吗？诚然，这在匆忙的早上，消除了我们在衣柜前瞎转悠的烦恼。但是，难道你真的可以做到对一件新毛衣或自己喜爱的丝绸衬衫视而不见，而是日复一日地选择相同的套装？并且一穿就是好几年？
Matilda Kahl has done just that. A creative atSaatchi & Saatchi New York, Kahl
decided4 to abandon all choice when it came to her wardrobe and wear the same
outfit5 to work every day for more than 1000 days.
The art director developed her own personal 'uniform' after she spent too much time deciding what to wear one Monday morning and was subsequently late for an important meeting. Kahl said she invested in 15 white shirts and several pairs of the same black trousers to make things easier washing-wise (just imagine the nightly laundry hell if she hadn't…)
Then, with school-girl type precision she woke up every day for three years and dressed in the same outfit to go to work. The
simplicity6 of the outfit allowed for the addition of some personal
flair7 now and then with shoes or a jacket but otherwise? Kahl eliminated the 'what will I wear?!?'
conundrum8 from her daily routine.
Kahl wrote about her decision in an op-ed forHarpers Bazaarmagazine and said it was all about simplifying her life so she could focus on her job.
"The simple choice of wearing a work uniform has saved me
countless9 wasted hours thinking, 'what the hell am I going to wear today?' And in fact, these black trousers and white blouses have become an important daily
reminder10 that
frankly11, I'm in control," Kahl said.
When she started wearing her version of a suit, as many men do each day, Kahl faced a flurry of questions from colleagues.
"Immediately, people started asking for a
motive12 behind my new look: 'Why do you do this? Is it a bet?'"
Kahl's choice isn't
entirely13 unusual. Many people wear the same thing to work each day, not by choice but by requirement. One of the many arguments for uniforms in schools is that it means students don't waste time worrying about what to wear and how they look, instead being allowed to focus on what they do.
