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.

becsta tagged this ...interesting
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.

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.

Wild!!! Visually excellent, a great painting that would make!
Posted 1120 days ago.
It means "For the kids". :D (I'm very proud of myself, it was an exercise quite difficult =D)
Posted 1120 days ago.
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.

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.
