I've been "dressing" myself every day using the Zappos VIP Dress Me app, to keep a daily catalog of what I look like every day. My heart does a little fist pump whenever I see a notification that someone "likes" what I'm wearing.  Of course it's not 100% accurate since I don't buy ALL my clothes on Zappos VIP (sorry Tony!) but it's pretty close.

This practice has made me more conscious of my daily attire. For example, last Monday, as I stood at my desk (we have standing desks at Zappos) and looked down at my outfit, ready to translate it into pixels using the Dress Me app, I was startled to find that I had dressed myself that morning to look like a cross between a Star Trek character and the Michelin Man. I almost wanted to lie and add a chic scarf to my horrendous outfit (instead of the wooly mammoth looking one I had on) but I stayed true - down to the puffy white vest. Cold weather does weird things to one's fashion sense!

In addition to a love for dressing like television characters, I've learned a few other things by "dressing myself" every day on the Dress Me app:

1. I wear a lot of scarves (this is nothing new actually, I don't remember the last time I exposed my collarbone)

2. Though I have a vast selection of shoes and boots (hey I work at Zappos okay), I seem to wear the same two pairs each day.

3. A good way to describe my cold weather style is "drapey".

This self-study was both narcissistic and humbling. Try it for yourself today with the Zappos VIP Dress Me app!

The Zappos Video Team thinks the 11/11/11 phenomenon is pretty cool for a lot of reasons:

1) It's a palindrome. 
2) 11 is considered a master number in numerology.
3) It's a popular day for weddings.
4) It's binary code.
5) It looks like corduroy.
6) It's an event that happens once every 100 years!

To celebrate the Greatest Binary Day of all time, our  team held an 11 minute party in Video Bay 1, complete with 11 minutes of dance music, 11 donuts, 11 party favors, 11 pom poms and an 11 minute countdown to 11/11/11 11:11:11 AM.  

Luckily, we had a video camera to capture all the action, because it was 11 minutes of pure merrymaking and shenanigans (which are both 11 letter words!).  The video is 1 minute and 11 seconds long, so enjoy!

P.S. This article is 11 sentences long.
