La Vie en Rose Chaud
Vintage wool beret and pumps from eBay, sweater donated by Cat and vintage leather gloves donated by Candace Yu. And for those wondering about those tights, I've had them for years and can't remember where I got them. Sorry darlings.

You're right, the tights are envy-inducing! They really make the ensemble, especially with the gloves. Not sure about those pumps with the outfit though - the top half is wintry and doesn't work with the shoes.

Chic meets the beatniks. A modern Audrey Hepburn ala Funny Face with a touch of Schiaparelli's shocking pink flair.

You look like a french girl! Love the beret, and dress looks more like a coat than before.

The more I look at this the more I think it would be the perfect skating outfit - wouldn't it just look super hot with a pair of white skates?

Sheena, you're so inspiring! Now that I *finally* have a job, I can contribute to the project in a more meaningful way (besides just telling everyone I know about the UP). You've also motivated me to finally start dressing in a bolder way...the way I always wanted to but never thought I could pull off!

You look adorable! One of the ladies on my art group mentioned your project and posted on our site - altered art techniques!

Also: reminds me of Carla Bruni's "Le plus beau du quartier." I'd like to think that was the song going through your mind after you picked this daily.

Wow, I love that shade of pink with the black of the dress, and another great beret. Definitely a hint of Audrey Hepburn in 'Funny Face.' I agree about the tights too: they make the look :)

Warm welcoming colors..Where had you been hiding those gorgeous tights all these months, Sheena??BTW "the comment of the day"idea is very welcoming & inspiring as well..When can we expect "the latest addition"'s (to the U. P.family)outfits??

I am trying to not want so much in my life. But this dress, I want! You are such an inspiration. Less is more. And, the pants on the nineteenth? another must have...

Those gloves are insanely awesome - and I'm not usually a fan of pink.

Ok, so I hate to break it to you, but just because you are wearing a beret, you still look like Sheena-the-globetrotting-New-Yorker-from-India to me. A very cute one in killer tights, might I add, but Sheena nonetheless. And that is probably what I like best about you and all your outfits.

I've just been newly introduced to this project, and I've finished looking through all 274 days of amazing outfits. What you're doing is so inspiring. You've given me so many ideas for rehashing all my old outfits. I wish summer would end in Australia though so I can experiment with layering properly. Do you plan these outfits days in advance, though, or on the day? I'd find it hard to do this for a week, so the fact you've done it for 274 days is really amazing. Today's outfit is one of my favourites. Is there somewhere I can get the pattern for the uniform dress? I'd love to make myself one. You've started a cult!

Pink and black- wow! What a combo. The tights tie it all together. Cute! Cute! Cute!

The jaunty tilt of the hat, the gloves, the saucy smirk...you look like you're going to break into a Fosse routine.

Gorgeous tights. Too bad you had them for so long you don't remember where you got them. I'm sure many of us will be rushing to get them... even if they have to take a plane. the shoes look nice with the tights, but doesn't work that well with everything else.

French New Wave meets Eighties New Wave, wonderful! A shot of color against black always works, and the tights add height.

Cherry pink has just risen up to be fashion's most upbeat hue! I wonder why!

I love how, with less than 100 days left, you're still trying to find creative ways to engage us, new & old followers alike! Love the COTD feature - I'm sure people are banging down the "door" to be creative now! :-)
