Good Girl...I just donated again! This is not really about fashion; it is about raising money for education and about sustainability. I would go one step further..no one can comment without donating! That would make us put our money where our mouths (and comments) are!

How cute is this outfit!? I love it, and the added prop of a math problem reminds everyone what this is really about, including me! I donated again today, and everyone else should, too! Keep up the awesome work! xoxo

We should all be paying our part for the enjoyment and creativity you're sharing. All you need is a little stuffed Allen Ginsberg doll off in the corner and this would be beyond perfect.

According to the press, the site gets thousands of hits daily, so if we each donated $10 today, we'd hit the goal and beyond even sooner!

Love it! You look so studious! But aren't you hot, it's inhumanly hot in NY right now.

@tara – yup, hot as hell today but the office where I work is practically a meat locker with the A/C cranking.

I'm sorry but it's not my favorite. It isn't very fun or risky. I love those Laredo boots, though, and the socks go great with them. I'm sorry that I can't donate, money's tight with "back-to-school" coming up but it's such a great idea!

I have just made my first donation. Thank you for the enjoyment I have received from your project. I have sewn my own up dress. It is just finished so I have not had time to "play" with it yet. My expressions of creativity will appear quite different as I have about 30 years on you, but the idea to make the garment work for you is timeless. The goal of education for all is without borders---Let us all donate while we continue to be dazzled by Sheena's creativity.

Another people with no creativity. A project like that but no repeating the clothes was done before. Já foi feito algo parecido. A diferença é que a pessoa não repetia as roupas. Mais uma publicitária sem criatividade. http://stickersanddonuts.com/2009/01/11/my-year-in-outfits/

how about selling the uniform and (and donating the profit to the cause). I mean... I would buy this dress and I bet a lot of girls/women would too.
Posted 1371 days ago.
Um, this girl actually has a POINT. In case you didn't know, you should read the story behind this project."Another people with no creativity"? If you're going to insult someone, at least use proper English. Also, if you think she's so uncreative and think this project's stupid, why are you even bothering to leave a comment? If you don't have anything nice/helpful (by that I mean constructive criticism) to say, don't post it.

Marcello, I doubt you would read this, however you should not that this project is not only about wearing a different outfit everyday, but also about sustainable fashion (moda sustentável) that means showing that means having less clothes, buying old ones, reusing them, revalidating the idea "less is more". I could go on, but I dont think there is a point. Like I said: I doubt you will read this.

i think... you would be able to donate more to the kids, if you sold all the accessories you wear with the dress. also, it doesnt matter if you got an expensive item by donation, people donate to you so they can have some free ad. cause its cool to do charity. they could as well just donate to any cause. so it is just encouraging more consumism, and at the end of the project you will hold an auction to sell the marvelous items ou wore, making more money, encouraging more consumism. to donate for the kids = good! doing it encouraging consumism (even if under a mask) = questionable but keep on doing it, ya gonna be millionaire soon, and sell books, etc.

love it!!! I'd have chosen other socks, simple purple ones, but hey ... i'm far more conservative than you are. Didn't take long to raise 10.000 ... good for you!

Way to go!!! I donated $25 a couple of days ago, it's fabulous how fast the total has climbed! I agree, make $25,000 the new goal! Love this project, and I would totally buy the dress if you marketed it!

Congrats on hitting 10K, that's amazing! Well done on the outfit too, only thing you need is a ruler for those who don't donate ;)
Posted 1370 days ago.
it is discouraging to see people with negative attitudes posting on here. big deal that similar projects have been done before. up is being done in good spirits and with great intent... and it is working! at least she's doing something positive rather than complaining. kudos for sheena :)
