Day 277
This day belongs to Jessica Mehrtens.

"The Uniform Project is an inspiring accomplishment of creativity and giving. Thank you for creating it! (mmm...cookies!) :)"

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 :)

Mmm cookies...

Pillbox hat in black merino wool with kimono silk embellishment handmade by Lis mertens. See more of her creations at lismertensfeltmaker.blogspot.com. Chocolate chip cookie scarf donated by Tara Gill of Pro-Portional Designs. Vintage vest from eBay and winter boots from Salvation Army. Sorry about the evening posts lately, work’s been a bit too hectic.

P.S Just found out from Tara that the profits from the cookie scarf sale will go to the U.P! You can purchase the scarf at: proportional.etsy.com >

With 5 minutes, a rolling pin and some cookie dough I might try and whip myself up an outfit as delightful as this! x

Ha! Fun scarf! I could see living in this outfit all week! And I’ve been mad about those boots for a while.

Here’s hoping your donations come piling in . . . our budget is way too stretched to offer a donation at this time, but I’m sending your link to as many people as I can. Hope it helps!

Great outfit but……I think you’ve mismatched buttons to button holes 🙂

Is it the journey or the destination that is important? In UP’s case it’s both. Some how I don’t think this journey ends on day 365, and not even on day 366. I am sure this project will continue to evolve. Hopefully it will keep us along for the ride. As a bonus, plenty of inspiration and laughs along the way with kooky choices like today.

I have a question what happens when the Uniform Project ends? I hope you continue, since it’s always been a part of my routine to check the outfit of the day. I’ll be sad when it ends

The kids I work with at the preschool would die for that scarf. I wish I had one, it’s preschool teacher perfection!

Those boots! They look like souvenirs from a Star Wars film … like you’ve chopped the legs off a creature from Hoth, or something! Magnificent 🙂

That’s one of the best hats I’ve seen you wear. A cozy classic wool, yet with that great silk band to take it beyond basic.

looky, looky…a kooky cookie wookie who’s being real good & not playing hooky while proving to everyone that she’s not a fashion rookie!

This ensamble reminds me of my childhood; and it is not mearly the cookie string scarf that takes me back to the day when the world revolved around large piles of rocks, earthworms, and what sort of fruit juice you were fortunate enough to dine on that day, when a everything was a bit brighter (metaphoricly)and cooler (literly, you know, because global warming was not effecting the climate as much). The rather unusual hue of you sweater reminds me of what was once my favorite artical of clothing,a dress to spacific. Vibrante mustard yellow was not even the dominant color, it had a blue background nearly eclipsed in mustard and mauve flowers…with a matching faux shrug. I donned that floral frock at least four times a week for a period.

scarlett tagged this C is for Cookie!!!

And that’s good enough for me! Oh, I really want that scarf. I’m not sure if that’s the best idea, since in a cookie-deprived state, I might start eating it, but I’ll take my chances. Oh, and I love your boots. So warm and fuzzy, and much more stylish than some of the outrageously ugly boots that look like they’re made out of skinned muppets.

This scarf immediately brought me back to your breakfast necklace from earlier in the project. Still hoping to see that necklace in the upcoming auction! It seems something about wearing food around one’s neck really appeals to me. Time for a snack…

Someone wore those boots to the Grammys.

What better way to start your week than with a charming little cookie scarf! What a fun idea! The hat is just precious! I love how this look is so simple and happy! You must’ve made quite a few people at/ on the way to your busy work smile!

Love it, fur boots to get your Clan of the Cave Bear on, vintage collegirate chic vest, smart Edwardian hat, and a scarf that makes you smile just looking at. Every outfit has been a party.

Love the vest! I’m ready to curl on the couch with milk and freshly baked cookies, or maybe I’ll settle for hot chocolate.

Sheena, love ur attitude. great work.. But dont you think 360$ a child is a bit too much for govt. schools in india? My Private school(CBSE, english medium, in kerala) charges around 120$ a year. Of course, if it includes food and clothes ans stuff, it may add up.

You “Smart cookie”, dressed up in a cookie scarf!?Wonderful oufit well matched with the vintage vest (is it the “in thing” mismatching buttons??)BTW don’t be sorry for the late dailies, Sheena. we are very well aware of the fact that your hands are full with two full time jobs.For U.K. supporters of the U.P.like me ,it is “good morning U.P.”& it suits me fine & I love it..Keep up the great spirit.As you mentioned we realize our enthusiastic supporters are making the job difficult for you selecting the “comment of the day” Well done!!

You appear to be channelling the look of a Russian Bond Girl from the Sean Connery era. Not an easy thing to pull off and yet here you are doing it!

Hot chocolate with a bit of coffee for good measure, a pinch of cinnamon thrown in the mix and a complimentary chocolate chip cookie on the side, courtesy of the Uniform Project. I’m so postponing my diet for next Monday…

Helen tagged this Great fun!

Like so many of your followers, I look forward to seeing your brave daily adventures in creative fashion. I can’t help but note, though, that the donations tally is not going up much these days. PLEASE EVERYBODY, remember that Sheena is not putting on this great show merely for our amusement but rather to raise $$$ for the Akanksha Foundation!!
