紐約美女一身套裝穿三年
Woman wears same outfit everyday... for three years
Could you get up and put on the same thing EVERY day? Admittedly, it eliminates a wardrobe spin during the morning hustle but could you really ignore a new sweater or that favourite silk shirt and opt for the SAME ensemble day in, day out? For years?
你能每天早上起床,都穿上一模一樣的衣服嗎？誠然,這在匆忙的早上,消除了我們在衣柜前瞎轉悠的煩惱.但是,難道你真的可以做到對一件新毛衣或自己喜愛的絲綢襯衫視而不見,而是日復一日地選擇相同的套裝？并且一穿就是好幾年？
Matilda Kahl has done just that. A creative atSaatchi & Saatchi New York, Kahl decided to abandon all choice when it came to her wardrobe and wear the same outfit to work every day for more than 1000 days.
馬蒂爾達·卡爾就做到了.作為在紐約Saatchi & Saatchi工作的廣告設計者,卡爾決定放棄其衣柜里面的所有選擇,每天都穿同樣的套裝去上班,就這樣一穿就穿了1000多天.
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…)
在一個周一的清晨,這位美術總監在衣柜前花了太多時間考慮穿什么衣服去上班,結果導致在一個重要會議上遲到.就這樣,她決定開發出一款自己的"制服"去上班.為了能更容易清洗,她買了15件白襯衫,幾條同款的黑褲子.（想象一下,要是沒有這么多可以換洗的衣服,她的洗衣機在每天晚上會是個什么樣子.）
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 simplicity of the outfit allowed for the addition of some personal flair now and then with shoes or a jacket but otherwise? Kahl eliminated the 'what will I wear?!?' conundrum from her daily routine.
就這樣,她每天像去讀書的女生那樣準時起床,然后穿同樣的套裝去工作.如今,套裝的便捷性給予她對于服裝搭配的一定的發揮空間,額外再配上鞋子或夾克即可,此外呢？卡爾成功地將"要穿什么？！"從她每天的例行難題中消除了.
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.
卡爾在她的《時尚芭莎》雜志專欄里透露了這個決定,她說自己這樣做完全是為了簡化生活,使她能夠專注于工作.
"The simple choice of wearing a work uniform has saved me countless 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 reminder that frankly, I'm in control," Kahl said.
