ciao bella

What a beautiful way to end this amazing year…just the dress itself. Thank you for the joy, inspiration and art you’ve given all of us. Enjoy the break and I will be anticipating your return with something fresh! (I hope you received the gift I sent…it instantly made me think of you when I saw it.)

Sheena & the U.P. crew – you guys are amazing. We are so happy to have been a part of such an inspiring project and look forward to what comes next.

Big love to the kids and Akanksha!

xoxo,
Jamie (Kayu).

…is bawling.

The images got me a little teary eyed. All the things you all have accomplished. BRAVO!

You are an amazing person.

Love. Respect.

I look forward to your next amazing thing. This year has been a marvelous gift, both as an inspiration for sustainable living and for living your artistic vision. You are a beautiful person with an artistic spirit and a compassionate soul. Blessed be!

Lovely and simple for the last day. I almost teared up reading this, you have been such an inspiration to me and everyone else who has been following this, both fashion-wise and because of your determination to help those kids. Well done, you’re amazing! 🙂

I have adored having this to wake up to each day. An utterly inspiring project. Ya did good!

I’ve loved every moment of this. You have inspired me to spend less and make fun outfits with what I have. Good luck to you and the kids.

<3 Hugs and thanks for a beautiful, fun, incredible year. So much great work has been done to put children into school and so many eyes have been opened to new possibilities - making a difference in a child's life, rethinking our wardrobe without adding to it, repurposed and recycled clothes and accessories rather than buying new...just so many things that I could go on about. Thank you for everything you've done over this last year - I can't wait to see what's coming next. <3

thank you so much for inspiring us! you have made a huge difference in the lives of 218 children, not to mention the countless supporters of your project. we will really miss checking the dailies when we get home from school(and there will no longer be an excuse not to do our homework). thank you so much!

p.s. we had a prediction you would wear the dress plain… but our real question is: what will you wear tomorrow???

I never thought I would get so attached to a blog-fundraiser! Cheers little lady and to all of the crew as well.

sooo prooud of u!!! well done!! congrats!! and brovo!!

Bravo! So impressed, inspired, and challenged over the last year. May this site and its followers continue to shake and move fashion to greater sustainability and creativity!

Thank you for all your creativity. Its been a fantastic 365 days. Cant wait to see what is next.
Please show us what you wear tomorrow otherwise the withdrawal might be too much for us.

thanks!!

drink loveen?

Congratulations! It’s been an awesome year! Thank you so much for your creativity and inspiration. Best of luck to you and to the kids of Akanksha!

Perfect finale pictures for this project. Congratulations and Good Luck Sheena, UP Crew and Akanksha…See you soon.

Amazing respect for all that you’ve accomplished! You’ve chnaged the lives of those kids and you will be forever blessed!

Perfect! Just exactly the way I thought you would do – just you, your beautiful smile and the dress. Well done Shena, take a break and take care.

Sheeny.. Your bful energy and endless creativity is inspiring.. That’s all I got 🙂

Congratulations!!! I’m definitely gonna miss this site. Looking forward to your next thing! Again, congratulations and very well done 🙂

Thank you for inspiring so many people while educating all of us about how we can change the lives of children. I will miss my daily dose of the U.P. – best of luck.

Been following the project regularly since the early days, you’ve given me so much inspiration that I had to say thanks! Look forward to the next adventure…

Bravo Sheena, bravo.

What a great project! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

You put 218 kids in school. That’s pretty darn impressive.

Have fun wearing whatever you feel like tomorrow 🙂

I miss you already. What a tremendous year! And as always, you look darling. You should be very proud!

A round of applause is in order for a simply stunning girl.

Outstanding.

I’ve had a great time, been inspired, made a connection (@payal!) and hope I helped in my own small way. onwards and upwards x x x

🙂 Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us!!!

Congratulations Sheena & team, and well done. 218 kids – very nice work. I’ve really enjoyed watching the project since I discovered it, it will be odd not to check it out every day. I’m sure I’ll keep poking around the site, though! Enjoy your camera freedom tomorrow.

what fun. my daughter has been visiting india for the past year so I’ve had an extra connection to your project through her. Can’t wait to show her. Love Love

p.s. pleeeaaaaase post a picture of your outfit tomorrow! otherwise we’ll die of curiosity

Finally, my birthday ‘uniform day’ – I do love simplicity! I’ve followed since the beginning and enjoyed every day. Congrats on a year in an amazing dress that you managed to transform daily!

Congratulations. Can’t wait to see what’s next

I was hoping you’d be back in the dress alone for the last day! Congratulations on a job well done!

What a fitting way to end the project, in the way it began. But what a big big circle in between! Lots of love to Sheena and everyone at U.P. — thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your amazing journey with us. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Thank you Akanksha for giving kids hope for tomorrow! Let’s keep the donations rolling everyone!

Beautiful. Akanksha, Sheena, Eliza, Jessica, Tara, scary., Britwatch, Holly, Ammake, pimientaconceras,…big love. Thank you. See you on the flip side!

Thanks for a whole year of inspiration and charme. I’ll miss my everyday look on this site. Can’t wait to hear about the new idea!
Bye!

Peace. oxoxo

Sheena, You look all set to do an Irish Jig! Go party!
Congrats on such a wonderful achievement.
Love and Blessings

Now what will I use to fill my daily quota of fashion??

Thank you for your amazing project, generous spirit, and inspirational look at sustainable fashion. It has been a pleasure watching for the past year 🙂 Good luck with whatever you do next!

Many congratulations and thanks for sharing your creativity and insight! Looking forward to what’s coming up!

Just, plain (but not plain at all!), thank you. I’ve followed you every day for a year, and my respect for your ideals and creativity has grown each day. The world needs more people like you, Sheena, and the whole UP team – people who aren’t afraid to take action to create change! I have to say, though, that I’ll miss the peanut gallery (of which I’m proud to call myself a member, even if I didn’t write very often) just as much. Take care, everyone! I hope that our commenting community can reconnect in some meaningful way. sniff…

After a year I choose to comment now, on the last day…I couldn’t let this leg of the journey end without saying thank you. I’ve loved every day.

A big big big thank you to Sheena,Eliza,Jessica and the rest of the U.P team for the amazing and inspirational year we had….& the very best wishes to Akanksha children & staff.I would like to say thank you to all the commementators who kept everybody entertained….Lets hope that Sheena &team will come back with something equally or more exciting…sky has no limits…

Thank you, thank you thank you. A thousand times thank you. I find the project and the world wide community of followers and people who leave comments and donate money inspiring. UP is evidence all is not lost, that we care and that while we can sometimes get wrapped up in our bubbles of lives we can connect and good things can follow.
Congrats, it’s been amazing.

This has been an amazing and inspiring project; I’ve loved following it and will miss it so much! But I have the necklace you wore on January 28th to remind me (I love it!). Congratulations on your great success! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

sorry for the spelling error.It was to be “commentators” !!

Both Sheena and the U.P crew have been an inspiration!! Great job.
It’s amazing what persistence and a little bit of flair can do 🙂

Loved it all…due to health issues the light at the end of my tunnel was temporarily dimmed. Your site provided a little flicker of bright light each and every day of my recovery. Thank U

We have never met, but after following you every day for a year, it’s sad to think of losing you. You have been an inspiration. Follow your dreams. You are a sweet soul. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. And thank you for making a difference.

Classic ending to a classic year. Never missed a day. Trying not to cry, and believe me I am not a big crier. Big happenings in your future for sure. XO

What a great journey you accomplished!! Thanks for sharing it with us and hope to hear from your new project soon enough. In the meantime, rest while we deserve to dress your idea!! Can’t wait to get my LBD from The U.P…

congratulations on a beyond amazing achievement! you have inspired, surprised, educated, informed, entertained, turned fashion on its head, raised awareness and money, opened people’s eyes…i could go on and on. you have touched lives around the globe. thank you sheena for it all. big love to you and the UP team!

so proud of what this project has evolved into. i’ve been watching from [almost] the very start, and it’s been a pleasure. congrats!

Yes! It would be so fun to see a pic of you tomorrow in whatever–wouldn’t have to take up a LOT of time and effort, would it?

amazing, inspirational project. thank you so much. xx

this is so inspiring i only wish i could do something like this. I’m going to miss your creativeness during the week. Thank you so much! one more time!haha

Just got back from a little night out here in the uk. And after a few glasses of wine, I must admit I shed a little tear saying goodbye to the U.P. It’s been amazing, an inspiration to make the world a friendlier place for the planet and FOR THE KIDS.x

You have been a tremendous inspiration to me, and clearly to many others. Thank you for a wonderful year – I too will miss the daily dose…

you are beautiful in heart, soul and dress!

Congratulations Sheena….Take a BOW in deed. Much Praises to YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and Thank you!
This is the essence of fashion!!

I think everyone is at a loss of words, too. I know I am. Thanks for the good times and thanks for having a big heart, UP crew. I look forward to seeing to what you’ll unveil next. HUGS & LOTS OF LOVE.

Truly awesome.You should be so proud of what you accomplished. I am proud of you and all that you represented with this project.

You have done such a good job! I cant wait to see what you come up with next. I loved following this:) cant wait to get my very own U.P dress. you rock Sheena:) xox

now you can actually take this dress off, what will you wear tomorrow? ahah

What a pleasure and inspiration this project has been! I look forward to your future project, whatever it is. Thanks for helping to make the world a better place, with your work on behalf of Akanksha, and for giving us all a lot of fun along the way. Lots of love to you, Sheena, and the U.P. crew.

Thank you for such an amazing project. I have looked forward everyday to seeing your new look. This was such a great idea! Also, I agree that you should post what you wear tomorrow- I simply must know!

Loved the whole parade of ingenuity, Thanks so much. I see the dress is sold out. Any chance a pattern may be sold?

I’m going to miss my daily visit to see what outstanding creation you have come up with.

I do hope the dress will have another production run as I couldn’t afford it this time around.

Bless you both and may all your endeavors be as successful, exciting, and educational as this one was.

I am going to miss you!

you guys just rock. thank you for planning to come back soon!

Congratulations Sheena & UP Crew. You did it! You inspired us all to consider sustainable fashion and our place in the world.

While getting ready for the DC Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this morning, I was pondering what you’d do on this final day, and I thought, “I’ll bet she’ll let the LBD speak for itself….” And you didn’t disappoint! What better way to show off the dress that did it all, started it all, worn by the woman who did it all, started it all (with Eliza, of course), by letting it speak for itself?! ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU! I’ll keep my eyes on this site for what comes next…. Happy Weekend – will you tell us what you decide to wear tomorrow?!

Thank you for the last year. It has been inspirational, for so many different reasons, and a whole lot of fun to watch!

What are you going to wear tomorrow, lovely?

Thank you for the year of fashion ideas and pure entertainment. I’ll miss your style.

BRAVO!! See you on the flip side fearless leader!!xoxo

Fitting. I hope you know you have changed so many lives, I thought about this project when writing my college essays. It made me think how one person with one object can change things tremendously. Good Job.

Thank you for this wonderful year!

Mazel Tov! Well done– I will miss our daily rendezvous…

The last day. I can’t believe it’s really here. It was an amazing year and it is incredible how well you did. I’m really going to miss this. You made a huge difference for at least 218 kids.

This was an awesome ride, indeed. A movie where everybody survives. You who have rocked so hard, we salute you.

Also, I hope starting today you’ll be putting dailies up just a teeny bit earlier in the day.

No?

Oh, come on, you know you want to! 😉 And i’ll bet you won’t have any idea what to wear tomorrow and will just slip into the LBD, anyway, so… ;-D

Thank you for a wonderful project.

Thank you so much for a fabulous year of fun and inspiration! A great project for a fantastic cause. It was the first blog I checked every morning and I’ll truly miss it. Looking forward to whatever you have in store next …

Wow. A year over already. And you’ve done a terrific job, giving us something new and fabulous everyday from 1 piece, all for the sake of charity. Keep on being amazing, Sheena — I can’t wait to see what’s next. 🙂

A brilliant project. The UP has been a part of my daily routine for a year and I will surely miss you. Thank you so very much. all the best to you all

What an incredible journey this has been. Your outfits have been truly inspiring, and the children in India are very lucky to have someone like you who cares so much. Many thanks for all your efforts, and I can’t wait to see what you and the rest of the U.P. crew come back with next! Until then, I wish you the best in everything you do, and one more time, thank you.

well done. from start to finish this has been a great project. inspirational indeed.
