Day 109
This day belongs to beforetoday.

"I'm a teacher and I can't wait to explain to my 4th graders why I'm wearing this dress so frequently!"

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 :)

Drive to $10,000

Vintage silk tie from Treehouse, Brooklyn. Printed socks from Sockman, Laredo boots from eBay. Vintage belt from Etsy.

We’re inching towards 10,000. Let’s get more kids into school. Donate today.

Good Girl…I just donated again! This is not really about fashion; it is about raising money for education and about sustainability. I would go one step further..no one can comment without donating! That would make us put our money where our mouths (and comments) are!

How cute is this outfit!? I love it, and the added prop of a math problem reminds everyone what this is really about, including me! I donated again today, and everyone else should, too! Keep up the awesome work!

We should all be paying our part for the enjoyment and creativity you’re sharing. All you need is a little stuffed Allen Ginsberg doll off in the corner and this would be beyond perfect.

According to the press, the site gets thousands of hits daily, so if we each donated $10 today, we’d hit the goal and beyond even sooner!

Rachel tagged this Cute

I’m sorry but it’s not my favorite. It isn’t very fun or risky. I love those Laredo boots, though, and the socks go great with them. I’m sorry that I can’t donate, money’s tight with “back-to-school” coming up but it’s such a great idea!

Cathy tagged this too cool for school

I have just made my first donation. Thank you for the enjoyment I have received from your project. I have sewn my own up dress. It is just finished so I have not had time to “play” with it yet. My expressions of creativity will appear quite different as I have about 30 years on you, but the idea to make the garment work for you is timeless. The goal of education for all is without borders—Let us all donate while we continue to be dazzled by Sheena’s creativity.

Another people with no creativity. A project like that but no repeating the clothes was done before.

Já foi feito algo parecido. A diferença é que a pessoa não repetia as roupas. Mais uma publicitária sem criatividade.

Congratulations for your willpower!
This project is a challenge! ;D
Good luck!!!!

Elisa tagged this Cute

how about selling the uniform and (and donating the profit to the cause). I mean… I would buy this dress and I bet a lot of girls/women would too.

Posted 3813 days ago.

@Marcello

Um, this girl actually has a POINT. In case you didn’t know, you should read the story behind this project.”Another people with no creativity”? If you’re going to insult someone, at least use proper English. Also, if you think she’s so uncreative and think this project’s stupid, why are you even bothering to leave a comment? If you don’t have anything nice/helpful (by that I mean constructive criticism) to say, don’t post it.

Posted 3813 days ago.

Elisa tagged this lovely

Marcello, I doubt you would read this, however you should not that this project is not only about wearing a different outfit everyday, but also about sustainable fashion (moda sustentável) that means showing that means having less clothes, buying old ones, reusing them, revalidating the idea “less is more”. I could go on, but I dont think there is a point. Like I said: I doubt you will read this.

butterfly tagged this Brave

i think… you would be able to donate more to the kids, if you sold all the accessories you wear with the dress. also, it doesnt matter if you got an expensive item by donation, people donate to you so they can have some free ad. cause its cool to do charity. they could as well just donate to any cause. so it is just encouraging more consumism, and at the end of the project you will hold an auction to sell the marvelous items ou wore, making more money, encouraging more consumism.
to donate for the kids = good!
doing it encouraging consumism (even if under a mask) = questionable

but keep on doing it, ya gonna be millionaire soon, and sell books, etc.
