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.
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 :)

Gearing up for a twist around the maypole.

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.

P.S Comme des Filles means ‘Like Girls’

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…
Posted 3596 days ago.
Yes! I love how you’ve opened up the dress and just left one button done.

You look like a delicious glass of Cab-Sauv-Merlot!
Simple – a definite fave!

OMG – This might be my favorite of all the 319 days!!! I love the entire ensemble: colors, pattern in socks, shoes, etc!! WONDERFUL!!
Posted 3596 days ago.
I think this is my favorite outfit of all!
Posted 3596 days ago.
The skirt is delicious. What fabric is that, I wonder?
Posted 3596 days ago.
classy & pretty, but still fun.
Posted 3596 days ago.
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.

Gorgeous!

Posted 3596 days ago.
This may be the most fabulous thing I have ever seen.
Posted 3596 days ago.
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
Posted 3596 days ago.
Love it! With less than 50 days to go, you still show no signs of slowing down!
Posted 3596 days ago.
ultra gorgeous!delicious
Posted 3596 days ago.
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.
Posted 3595 days ago.
Def one of the top ten! LOVE it!
Posted 3595 days ago.
I love the tights and the dramatic red – one of your best!
Posted 3595 days ago.

Posted 3595 days ago.
Old age romantic, sexy, and adorable at the same time. This is a beautiful ensemble. And I absolutely LOVE those shoes!
Posted 3595 days ago.
Wow!Scully’s skirt looks super with perfectly matched pumps’n socks..
Posted 3595 days ago.
Love it!
Posted 3595 days ago.
Its really very cute. I like the color and combination of the skirt. Don’t know it suits me or not.

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.

?????
Posted 3595 days ago.

ahhh – i get such envy when i log on each day!
Posted 3595 days ago.

?????????:)
Posted 3595 days ago.
unicity absolutely! The most interesting 2010 fashion view:modern and generous: BRAVO!!!
Posted 3595 days ago.
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!
Posted 3595 days ago.
this is fantastic and beautiful! how lovely and playful!
Posted 3595 days ago.
What is LBD and UP?? Can someone fill me in? I am confused 🙁
Thanks!!
Posted 3595 days ago.
aahhhaaahahaa.. oh the craic on here. a band of helpers, stylists?! hysterical but great plan, ‘tho somehow if it ain’t broke.. @banana, you’re cute! Little Black Dress and U as in Uniform P as in Project.

Glad to see more color. Not many days left.
Posted 3595 days ago.
Number two looks like you’re about to dance a fierce tango!
If this is manic, then I guess that’s what I want!
Posted 3595 days ago.
