Day 282
This day belongs to Sandra.

"what a lovely red!"

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 :)

Something's fishy

Vintage Czech winter hat from Hradec Králové donated by Sosuke, handknit cowl donated by Ana at ToilTrouble.com,dhoti pants from Goan flea market, vintage pumps from eBay.

this first comment’s grammar is terrible. or really funny, in an ironic way, considering the “stupid” attached to it.

The shapes and colors are like a Matisse painting come to life. Red shoes have some strange power to take an outfit from “nice” to “stop onlookers in their tracks.”

Those trousers make me want to curl up in a ball and cry in a corner because they are not currently adorning my legs.
Also, yes, they’re trousers – I’m British and pants = underwear.

I would really like to say I hate it, but I can’t because somehow you rock this outfit so well.

True fashion is when someone wears something they love and wears it with confidence. You always manage to make it work.

Sarah O tagged this Stepping out in style

Great example of how the UP challenges you to think outside the box and stomp proudly into avant-garde territory – plenty of naysayers there but pay them no mind. They’ll be drooling over it when they see it in the fashion magazines.

The top reads “cold Eastern European winter” while the bottom reads “warm sun filled southern Asia.” I love the visual contrast.

Oh My Gosh – I LOVE those dhotis b/c they look like they have clownfish on them!! My screen name & car license plate aren’t “wendfish” for nothing! Love the matching red shoes – black on top/red on bottom adds a little surprise to the outfit.

I am green with envy! MUST get myself a pair of dhoti trousers. You look totally amazing and I love coming on here every day and seeing what you’re up to. You inspire me to be more creative with my own outfits.

Nikki tagged this Try Harder

The dimensions are a bit off and I highly doubt if you saw someone on the street wearing this you’d think any positive. Homeless little boy?

Bronwyn tagged this Fishy Interesting

Hey Sheena!
Okay, I love, love, love the top half of the outfit. It’s the “fishy looking” pants (tee hee) that are bringing this outfit down for me. But on the bright side, the shoes are amazing!
