Day 361 – And now the end is near
The dress project is coming to a close and I find myself in a reflective mood. It has been an interesting year and though there have been times when I would have killed to cloak myself in denim and even fantasised about a pair of sweats I have enjoyed it tremendously.
It is strange to think that cyberspace now owns so much of my past and so many of my secrets. Being open about my own experience of mental health has not only been helpful to me but it has also been of aid to my friends and family and even to acquaintances who for years have had little idea of what the hell is wrong with me.
I have written this blog for the most part like a diary and I hope that you have found it as entertaining as you have enlightening.
The dresses and the generosity of all of my readers has never ceased to amaze me and I cannot wait to write a cheque for Mind and to present the profits to the staff at the Stretton ward.
In some ways I am sick to death of dresses and I wonder whether it will take a ring on my finger before I wear another. I am looking forwards to wearing my traditional uniform of a mini with a cashmere polo neck or a fitted pair of wide leg trousers with a black t-shirt. This project has forced me to leave my comfort zone of clothing and wear styles and even colours that I never would have done before.
It has been a pleasure to dress for you all and to share with you what has at times been a hellish year. Thank you for all of your support and for being a kind and understanding readership. I will return with another project in 2012 which will involve 366 pairs of my favourite things and I promise you that none will be Uggs.
