Day 319
This day belongs to ckbell.

"As a 64 year old woman, this is a look that I can wear comfortably. I love the creativity of this project and am happy to support such a wonderful cause."

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 :)

Day 319. Mon, March 15 2010

Another manic monday in vintage Comme Des Garçons skirt from Scully, argyle socks from Sosuke, vintage pumps from the lower east side and thrifted leg warmer worn as a cowl.

This day belongs to ckbell.

I love it how you can make a long skirt sexy, since some seem to think sexy always has to reveal as much skin as possible.

My 1st thought when I saw this outfit was what a perfect skirt for a gypset look! Love this magical circus and yet hypster look.

picture 2, picture 2! its the best because it shows your groovy sock and shoe combo. The giant skirt works as a pulled up dress with the uniform over the top. still love to log on each morning – don’t what I will do when this project ends – of course you will have to do a book or something…!

Wow Sheena, you and your band of helpers keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. Gosh, we are going to miss our daily dose of magnificence. This outfit is beautiful and inspiring! PS words below I have to type in to post this are “fantasy” and “strangulation”; a juxtaposition I find slightly disturbing…

Yes! I love how you’ve opened up the dress and just left one button done.

It’s all wonderful, but the cowl is the touch that finishes this outfit. I love the way a cowl can frame the face while staving off the chill of a March day.

I don’t know if it’s the shoes, or the pose in the first picture, but this one is so wicked witch. Love it! The colour of the skirt against the black dress is amazing and then ties in perfectly subtly with the colour in the socks and shoes

love the legwarmer around your neck (& the red skirt). wearing pants as a shrug, skirts as dresses, tshirts as scarves, legwarmers as cowls…you make me rethink how to use items in fresh new ways.

nid tagged this sustainability?

i feel like this sort of defeats the purpous of the whole “sustainability” thing. I mean, seriously,this outfit would look better without the lbd. i think the message of sustainable fashion would stand out more if you made the dress the main staple of the outfit every day. not like somthing you’ve just “thrown on” over an indepentednt outfit.

Catherine Earnshaw: furious, obsessive, dramatic, daring, and quite unapologetically the Lilith of all long skirts.

canadiangirl tagged this sexystylinflare

My, oh, my. That is just…perfect. This is what can happen when we break free of definitions! By calling a leg warmer a “leg warmer” (or pants “pants”, or a dress a “dress”), so many of us get trapped in perceived limitations of what we can do with it. Thanks for another reminder, Sheena, of the power of imagination when we just let go!
BTW – @holly, my two words are: “cent thrower” – let’s all throw a few more cents (or dollars) into Akanksha’s pot!
