   365 days. 365 items of clothing. 365 dollars.

   365 clothes for the price of a single pair of Ralph Lauren vintage jeans? I dunno about you, but that sounds totally awesome for me.

   Blogger Marisa Lynch is only a few weeks shy of reaching her goal of spending a dollar a day for an entire year to make new dresses. Her blog, aptly named New Dress A Day, is her cyber journal-slash-closet where she boasts her skills on transforming flea market/thrift store buys into something current and wearable.

   Lynch’s “experiment” was featured on TIME.com and I became a fan even before I saw her blog. I started subscribing to her posts ‘cause, hello, who among you fine ladies don’t want to see what a gal could do to a sad-looking, one-dollar dress? Here are my faves so far:

   DAY 77:

       

   DAY 138:

       

   DAY 148:

       

   DAY 191:

       

   DAY 239:

       

   DAY 242:

       

   By now, she has 301 custom-made tops, dresses and whatnot in her closet. Doesn’t that make you jealous? I know I am.
