Friday, May 1st

Day 1
This day belongs to Anna Mavromatis.

"In my homeland, May 1st is the day we celebrate one of nature's gifts: wild flowers. Owning this dress is my effort to honor nature's gifts to us and through it's multiple use to preserve them! Happy May 1st!"

What’s this?

During Sheena’s year-long challenge, we made 365 limited edition copies of the little black dress. U.P friends who purchased a dress could ‘own’ a day from Sheena’s dailies, as a way to memorialize their support. The funds raised from dress sales were also put towards supporting the kids :)

And it begins. Albeit the rain and the swine.

The unveiling of the Uniform Project in classic black form. Ankle striped wool tights gifted by Catherine. Black booties a gift from Mom.

I love what your doing! I just read about you in the NYTimes and this whole project is so cool!

Posted 3831 days ago.

Lynn

Love it! Some of the looks are even suited for women in their 50″s. Where can you get the dress, I agree you should sell it. Maybe in 2 versions, one as is and one to the knee for the older crowd!I loved them all even tho I went backwards!

Read about you in NYTimes Magazine. Your project is very interesting, even to a grandmother in her 70’s. Keep it up. I am recommending viewing to my teens

chrissy tagged this Hot

Sell the dress – we all want one! It is gorgeous and I agree with an option of lengthening it – just to the knee – for us older folks! Great project!

I’m a little late in starting to view, but delighted to have found Day #1. Now think of all the variations I have to look forward to…as time goes on…old song, probably known by a few oldsters!

Payal tagged this I come from the future…

I didn’t know about the U.P till mid-August, but being a massive UP fan, soon-to-be owner of the Uniform (I own Feb 25!) and proud owner of several auction items, I had to leave a comment on day #1. Today, on the 362nd day of U.P, I’d like to say, I love that uniform, tights and shoes. And I’m sure you’re going to rock this project 😉
