Day 13

Rainy Days And Mondays

So I had to take the photos with a flash today because it’s raining and I couldn’t get good light. I paired with my favorite long dress and a thick belt. Kinda cute? I feel bummed out today because my boyfriend left town to go back to LA, where he lives, and it’s raining and I’m so sick of living here on the Lower East Side. OH WAH! I know these are just luxury problems. I’m trying to find a little place to sublet in BK for a while until I can move out west. I’ve lived in NYC for 10 years and I think I need a change. I’m getting more used to wearing the dress everyday, it’s becoming a more casual staple in my wardrobe. I’m still trying to branch out and think of new ways to wear it, and I still think another material will be better (supposedly getting it tonight). Tomorrow night is the big uniform project fashion party and I have no idea how I’m gonna dress it up. Stay tuned!

I like this outfit but it would be nice to be able to view the daily entry just once without having to read about the next thing that went wrong in your life. I thought this was about fashion and raising money; not your personal blog.

Change it up a bit!

Sarah makes a good point. More about sustainable fashion, experimenting with accessories, and the cause you’re supporting please.

Where that to the UP party but spice it up with some colorful accessories: red and orange for some pop? Or blue, turquoise and lime for some an artful surprise? Metallics or some night-time bling? You can do it!

I agree with Sarah, this used to be about the fashion and what the project is about, not about the person in the clothes.

Think outside the square as far as accessories and layer, layer, layer! If you clothing is more inspired, maybe your readers will be more inspired to donate.

And I want to see your feet (with shoes on preferably!); shoes can make or break an outfit and I think it’s really important that you show these in your entries.

If you are really feeling uninspired a quick way to fix that would be to wear some crazy funky shoes and ‘wallah’ your outfit has been totally transformed.

Boring. Think outside the box, try some colour, some crazy accessories. If you can’t purchase then use what you have, there seems to be some interesting items around your apartment! And try to blog something positive??

a nice simple outfit – nice to see you branching out with how you use the dress. not sure where the commentator griping is about. if you wear how you feel then talk about your life, if you like wearing dark, then you’re showing those of us who aren’t into colors ways to wear dark. not sure when these comments went from let’s talk about clothes to let’s judge american idol, but i’d ignore it.

Brighten up! It kinda shows on your face that it’s Monday, that your boyfriend is away and that it’s raining! I hope kitty will cheer you up a bit (and please let us see her more!I’m a kitty fan)…I totally agree with Heather on pairing the dress with some colorful accessories (scarves, necklaces), maybe a sash for your hair?
Keep up the good work!

This dress layers so well over skirts. I actually think that out of the three UP dresses so far, this one is my favourite and a style that works well with my body type and current wardrobe. I can imagine it would be great in the winter layering it over a button-down with a funky collar & cuffs, some smart trousers, and maybe the belt that you’re wearing in this outfit. Wishing you 17 more days of inspiration!!

At least the combination is not so boring as the last days, BUT are you locked in your room and can’t go outside?
Should somebody call the police?

Lisa tagged this go out

the first thing I see are your red red eyes – today your excuse is the bad weather okay, but you could go out, maybe to friends and ask them taking a picture of you. That is easy and I hope this would make you smile.

I think the shape of the dress is so stunning… sadly it’s being a little wasted at the moment so hope the new fabric makes a difference.

It is like the people here are clapping for a toddler – every little move is “oh so great” and “oh so awesome”…this month is just a whole lack of inspiration.

This looks fabulous. Understated but dressy. Nice job, Lesley!

I kind of like today’s outfit, but grey/black won’t lift you out of the grey/black weather. Spice it up! What happened to the great colors from earlier in the month? Did you leave them all in California? Smile, for pete’s sake!

I check every day. I am fascinated. Somehow, it doesn’t really matter what you do. And whoever said it is about the clothes and not the person — give me a break. And to whoever said, “Go outside,” why don’t YOU go outside?

Charlotte tagged this Try Harder

I have to agree with Franziska, I feel that every time you put a belt on or something I need to say well done because at least it’s something. Lesley you can go two ways with this, get down about our constant criticism or show us all what you’re made of and knock us dead! I know you can do it!

I think the fact that you’ve only raised $194 by mid month accurately reflects your effort (or lackthereof) into this project.

I love it. Im a modest dresser but, I still like to look chic. Its so easy to end up looking frumpy when covered…Loving It!!

That’s a nice look. I’m looking forward to the new dress! Have a great time at the party!

this dress would be a lot nicer is it didnt have that extra long piece. im assuming it looks like this is a picture of your back and not your front because your neck is all jerked to one side.

boy, looks like this month might be harder than you imagined. I like the layering and the belt, and hope you’ve got some radical looks planned for dress mark 2 – maybe the new fabric will be more versatile?
