Day 2

Easy Does It

I’m in LA and even though it’s summer, it’s been the coldest summer ever. Every day I get chilly so I decided to layer with this old shirt I had from J. Crew (part of the challenge is that I can’t buy anything new for the entire month, but only work with stuff that I have and donations. EEK!) The shoes are from one of my best friends and shoe designer, Hilary Rosenman of Madison Harding. Hilary has also been my roommate here in LA this summer, which is lucky for me because she has really good shoes and we wear the same size. How great are these shoes? I rarely wear heels but I have a feeling that I’m gonna need to get really creative with this dress, so stay tuned (I’m sure you’re really interested).

Definitely not ballsy enough to rock socks + open toes, hoping you’ll help me man up. Wish I had the chance to move around the country on a whim!

Oooooh, I can see it’s going to be a great month for shoes! (I’m mostly on the farm in Crocs, boots, flipflops and bare feet, but I LOVE shoes!)

there is a def diff btw a nerd and a dork. being a nerd has become this modern hipster trend. but glasses don’t make the nerd… it’s a mentality. a dork on the other hand is more of a personality trait. not so prescribed or defined… i like it.

Great ensemble! I’m not sure I could pull of wearing socks and heels but they look great on you! How do you become good friends with all these talented designers?? Great dress and great shoes!!

Just a suggestion, Lesley – can you show us an outfit where you have another skirt underneath this one so we see how it looks? Sheena did that quite a bit and it’s one of my new favorite ways to stretch my wardrobe. I’m asking because though I love the dress, it’s really short, and if I wanted to wear it to work I’d have to lengthen it a bit.
Loving your style!

I love all your accessories today. I have a thing for fringe. The stripes are giving me an Adams-Family vibe (in a good way) and you’re rocking the socks with heels trend. Keep it up!

Really love the dress’s design. Looks versatile. Looking forward to other layering, as Demi suggests. Very cool ensemble today!

As the father of one of a daughter who is hugely taken by the Uniform Project, I have donated to this cause. It’s particularly near and dear to my heart as I was there once (Phoenix House) and have been clean for 28 years. Good choice of a cause. And great site.

I’m beaming from all the support! Yes the skirt is SO short (I’m actually going to get it resized a bit) but you will for sure see me in looks where I have a skirt on underneath. It’s only day 2… stay tuned!

I really like the shoes, plus these cute socks, I plan to stock on socks myself and wear them with my sandals well into colder months! It’s a nice way to prolong open toe shoes season.
Striped shirt with this dress is so simple, but always a sure hit. I like thw glasses too!

I agree that the dress is a bit short but homegirl, you are working IT! will be following you every day to see what you come up with.

Cant wait until they get the form together for everyone who wants to be apart of this to do so! I am so excited! I want to challenge myself and raise money for the Lupus Foundation.

I love this dress! I wish I was 20 years younger so I could get away with wearing something that short.
