Since springtime, Sheena Matheiken has been on a mission to make a different kind of fashion statement. For 365 days, she will don the same little black dress designed by creative partner Eliza Starbuck, but will update and adorn her frock everyday with vintage accessories, flea market finds, and donations from Etsy designers and thoughtful readers.

The goal is raise money to help expand the Akanksha Foundation, a non-profit based in Mumbai that’s improving education and resources for children living in slums. The site also serves as an encyclopedia of inspiration on how to play with feathered hats, sustainable scarves and even electric blue boots.

My dear internet friend, Monihan Monihan, blasted a video introduction to this quirky web project that just might flip your understanding of how to incorporate philanthropy into your everyday wardrobe.
