Dressember 2021

For several years now I have participating in Dressember. Dressember is a fun style challenge where participants wear a dress or tie everyday during the month of December to raise awareness and funds to stop human trafficking and assist victims. 

I first heard about Dressember from my friend Ciara when stationed in California and was hooked after watching the founder's TED Talk. Since then Dressember has grown immensely! They have partnered with several charitable organizations that either help rescue and restore victims or help bring justice to those that have perpetrated human trafficking. 

One thing I love about the Dressember organization is the helpful info graphics they provide advocates each year. It makes it super simple to spread the word about the widespread, global problem of human trafficking and helps show why supporting the cause is so important. I love that individuals, working together, have been able to make such a big impact! 

I have my fleece lined leggings ready to go and excited to share Dressember with the new people I have met! Want to join me on this mission? You can join my team Break the Chains!


Below are some pictures from previous years. Even though I have quite a collection of dresses, there are still days where I have to get a little creative for my outfits. Don't own a bunch of dresses? That's ok! Ciara, my friend who introduced me to Dressember, and the founder of Dressember once participated by wearing the same dress the whole month to show that you do not need a closet full of dresses to make an impact.
