Happy in the dress!
My second day in the dress, and it already feels like skin. Gave it a bit of a ruff first day but I think its paying off; rolled down a hill, a tiny plum burst in its right pocket and I filled its left pocket with stones and plum pits… I tied the front flaps into a sailor knot, but not the kind of knots that sailors can make with rope, the simple knot which if placed at the top of a chest reminds people of sailors (and hopefully of their abilities to tie magnificent knots, which as of now I can not tie…) The shoes I found on the corner of Broadway and Grand, someone had thrown them away! Also, recently heard good things from a friend, she is just getting back from a trip to NOLA with the same organization I went with 2 summers ago, NY2NO. Down in the lower 9th ward, she worked with the School at Blair grocery. To those of you who have or are young and would like to get involved with the student led non profit, check them out! They had a great article on the 30th in the Daily News (NY) >

You look great, India! I love your description of how you’re feeling and what you did with the dress. Stones and plum pits might be a great new eco-friendly wash technique!

Simple and lovely, glad to see some versatility with the shots. The dress itself is a perfect accessory to India’s looks, but I am still looking forward to seeing her accessorize the dress!

Adorable look! I like the sailor knot in the front – it adds a very cute touch to the dress. Those boots are fantastic – I couldn’t imagine throwing them away!

Awesome! Love the girly dress with the workboots.

Whoever threw those boots away needs a mental check-up. Nice socks, too.

Why can’t I find great boots on the corner?

Love the found boots, I need to look for some. The knot is a nice addition. I like the style of the dress, some nice touches and yes a good dress must have pockets.

Glad you are happy in the dress and sounds like you had a happy day, plums, rolling in the grass. I think I will share fun and pecan nuts with my jack russell, Allby, today. Luv the socks

I lay awake last night (HUGE gale here in Sydney Aust) and one of the things that crossed my mind was how mean some of the comments were that were posted yesterday. Surely the “try harder” should boomerang back to the commenter. I think you are doing a great thing, and I’ll match the money you raised yesterday with a donation of my own.

The knot made the dress so different from yesterday. Love it!

I can already tell that I’m going to be frustrated all month, because the accessory I REALLY want is India’s gorgeous red hair.
Welcome back Uniform Project!

Those shoes…I wish someone would leave it on my street! But more than the shoes I like what you’ve done with the thingy around your ankle…it’s so fierce! And your uniform is so versatile…love it! Love the layers and fit. India, you’re perfect for the UP comeback!

love the knot tie. and the shoes look like my old hiking boots that took me through the wilds of Tasmania to precipitous bluff.

Simple, but bold! that’s exactly what you’ve done, and it’s the second day! Keep it going!
