纽约美女一身套装穿三年
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 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.
马蒂尔达·卡尔就做到了.作为在纽约Saatchi & Saatchi工作的广告设计者,卡尔决定放弃其衣柜里面的所有选择,每天都穿同样的套装去上班,就这样一穿就穿了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…)
在一个周一的清晨,这位美术总监在衣柜前花了太多时间考虑穿什么衣服去上班,结果导致在一个重要会议上迟到.就这样,她决定开发出一款自己的"制服"去上班.为了能更容易清洗,她买了15件白衬衫,几条同款的黑裤子.（想象一下,要是没有这么多可以换洗的衣服,她的洗衣机在每天晚上会是个什么样子.）
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.
就这样,她每天像去读书的女生那样准时起床,然后穿同样的套装去工作.如今,套装的便捷性给予她对于服装搭配的一定的发挥空间,额外再配上鞋子或夹克即可,此外呢？卡尔成功地将"要穿什么？！"从她每天的例行难题中消除了.
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.
卡尔在她的《时尚芭莎》杂志专栏里透露了这个决定,她说自己这样做完全是为了简化生活,使她能够专注于工作.
"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.
