Day 362
This day belongs to Peg.

"Glad to support the project. I'm looking forward to wearing the dress!"

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 :)

Avec Sans

Demented pants from the one and only Sans, made from reclaimed denim. Cuff made from reclaimed zippers by Tara St. James of Study NY.

Sunglasses donated by Kayu, a lovely ethical line of sunglasses handcrafted out of sustainable bamboo. For every pair of glasses sold, kayu funds one sight-restoring surgery for a blind person in the developing world. One for one. Learn more about Kayu at www.kayudesign.com. Who’ll be the first to decode the braille?

hmm- hope you are not planning on moving anywhere in those – they might pose a hazard when walking.

Those pants have got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen, and I think that Kayu is pretty sweet as well.

you weren’t kidding about the pants being demented. Not exactly an everyday wearable item, but definately interesting.

How about for the LAST (Fri)day of the UP, we all show our support of Sheena and the kids and gather up all the fabulousness we can, for LBD Friday. This time, let’s try to ring in as many friends as we can and get them to participate!

I often ruin clothes by spilling something on them or ripping them etc. How have the dresses faired? I am not suggesting you are like me but..What is the worst thing that has happened? They are obviously very well made to have lasted the distance.

Claire tagged this Beeezarrrre!

But but how do you walk without tripping up?! Confused yet intrigued…a good state of mind for a Wednesday morning.

I would definately go mad if I had to walk around whole day in such pants, lol. I wonder how you do it – you’re a true superwoman!

looks uncomfortable and impractical – like being incarcerated

jules tagged this unique

…or like wearing a long dress. it’s amazing how scared of something different people are. it’s the same length and slack of a dress. it just looks different, which is why it is great.

It means “For the kids”. 😀 (I’m very proud of myself, it was an exercise quite difficult =D)

Posted 3556 days ago.

Wendie

I, too, was wondering how you’d walk in those, but I guess @jules is right – it’s same as wearing a dress/skirt, just formed differently…. ONLY 3 DAYS!! Sigh.

Love the pants, stockings and pumps together. What a great way to accessorize the dress today! <3

In my sexy jeans

jolly M tagged this expect the unexpected

unusual..unique make & wear 0f a denim…why not? all for the kids..I am fascinated by the striking angular white pattern by the hem of your black dress & the blue denim, intented or not !!Also if one focusses on the white pattern for a while the denime can be visualised as an unusual skirt with a white angular patch…anybody wants to try ?

Farmer Beth tagged this Paradigm Shift

This shifts the way space gets defined when wearing basic pants or skirt/dress. Having grown up in a subcluture where women/girls were encouraged/mandated to wear dresses or skirts, I love the way this plays with the whole definition of what we wear. It feels a little revolutionary, somehow.
(My security words are “the kulyabko.” What the heck is that?)

I am so sad for the U.P. to end. It has changed so many lives including mine and 214 kids in India. I cried while watching the picture book.
