Take $R=k[x,y]/(x,y)^2$. Then $(x,y)$ is a $2$-dimensional $k$-vector space and clearly not principal. Let $I \subseteq R$ with $I \neq R$. Then $I \subseteq (x,y)$ with the induce vector space structure. So, for $I \neq (x,y)$ the $k$-dimension of $I$ is at most $1$, showing that $I$ is principal.
