Hey there, fashion fans! If you're looking for someone who truly understands the art of making a statement, look no further than Good Bones star Karen E. Laine. At 61 years old, this HGTV personality isn't just renovating homes—she's reinventing her wardrobe. Karen has taken on an incredible challenge: wearing the same dress for 100 days straight. Talk about stepping out of your comfort zone!
Let me break it down for you. On February 25, Karen posted a picture on Instagram, showing off her commitment to this unique challenge. “The challenge by @wool.and intrigued me: Wear the same dress for 100 days,” she wrote. “I’m 30 days in, and so far no repeats.” Now, that’s what I call dedication. Imagine sticking to one outfit for over three months. But here’s the kicker—Karen isn’t just throwing on the same old dress every day. She’s finding creative ways to keep things fresh.
Styling the Same Dress in a Hundred Different Ways
Karen’s approach to this challenge isn’t just about wearing the same thing over and over again. She’s turning it into an opportunity to express herself. “I wear an apron over it for dirty things and leggings under it for cold weather,” she explained in her caption. This means she’s hiking, painting, landscaping, and doing all sorts of activities you wouldn’t normally associate with a dress. Can you picture yourself rock climbing in a dress? Karen’s making it happen.

And guess what? She’s also saving time and resources. “I’m doing far less laundry, and so far, no outfit repeats, although I’m sure that will happen eventually,” she added. For Karen, this isn’t just about fashion—it’s about sustainability. “It gives me a chance to utilize my robust scarf collection and my fun tights,” she said. The goal here is simple yet powerful: do more with less. That’s a message we can all get behind.
What Her Fans Are Saying
Of course, when someone takes on a challenge like this, people are going to have questions. The comments section on Karen’s post was flooded with both praise and curiosity. One follower joked, “Look at you, also up for a challenge. Wash the dress once in a while though. LOL, I think you would look great in anything you wear.” Karen playfully responded, “The challenge doesn’t require not washing the dress.”
Others wanted to know why she decided to take on such a unique challenge. “Why?” one person asked. Karen’s response was simple but impactful: “To consume less: less clothing, less water, less detergent.” Now, that’s a goal we can all admire. In a world where fast fashion dominates, Karen’s choice to simplify her wardrobe is refreshing.
Some fans were curious about the logistics of the challenge. “I’m intrigued. I assume it’s actually one dress and not multiples of the same size/style,” one comment read. “Do you wait to have a laundry load from the accessories and then wash it in the evening so it’s not 100 days straight without washings?” Karen clarified, “Yes, I wait to have a load, or hand wash. I hand wash the dress as needed (every week or so).”
What's Next for Karen?
Since wrapping up Good Bones in October 2023, Karen has been busy renovating her new home in Wilmington, North Carolina. While there’s no official spinoff show announced yet, she’s clearly eager to return to TV. “Love you Karen!! You do amazing work .. will we see a show of your projects?” one fan asked in a recent Instagram comment.
Karen’s response was nothing short of exciting. “The magic 8 ball says the outlook is good,” she wrote with a winky face emoji. Looks like we might be seeing more of Karen on our screens soon. Whether it’s another season of Good Bones or a brand-new show, one thing’s for sure—Karen E. Laine isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
