Woman wears same dress for 100 Days
A 52-year-old from Boston, US, has got the Internet talking by taking up a unique challenge – wearing the same dress for a 100 days straight.
Sarah Robbins-Cole joined the 100 Day Dress Challenge in September last year and wore the same black merino wool dress every day for over three months in a bid to “live without fast fashion and simplify her life”, according to news reports.
Sarah wore her Rowena swing dress to work, church, and wore it while walking and even wore it on Christmas.
Along the way, she dressed it up or down as needed with the help of colourful jackets, scarves and skirts. For a 100 days, she documented her style files on Instagram and spoke about why she took up the challenge.
“Wearing just one dress for 100 days is a valuable lesson in how little we need,” she explained on Instagram.
Sarah is not the only woman to have taken up the 100-Day Dress Challenge, which was thrown open by an American brand “founded on three principles: live simply, consume carefully, and do good.”

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
