Very interesting silhouette you managed to create. The two tiered look is divine and the fishtail throw back is working it without screaming 80s prom.

Love the layering with the bursts of colour. And on a personal note, I like when your hair is longer like this!

We didn't imagine that you'd come up with another silhouette, yet here it is, and it's beautiful! The whole message we should all get is not to copy Sheena (who could look like her, really?) but to be personal and brave in our dress.

Cute, but i think the dress + another dress under is a bit too much. It would be better without the 2nd dress. The shoes are awesome!

are you showing some superbowl love today with the black and gold?! (somehow you don't strike me as the football type, though...) but this look sure is super - it bowled me over.

This outfit is lovely, and so classy! You look like you're going to a ball! I love the slim line look of the bottom half.

This silhouette makes you look like a Dr.Seuss character.

But I also wanted to comment on yesterday's outfit. You were wearing a ghoti dhoti. Not sure who first devised that spelling of "fish": gh as in rough, o as in women, ti as in invention. Digressions aside, keep up the great work!

elegant, french, with a touch of quirk with those amazingly yellow shoes

I think LBD could use some kind of a button or a clasp in the back (neater than just a piece of string and it's got everything else, so why not?) for a tighter (better) fit in combinations like these. This combo is good to go (as others said, very 1920s dinner date elegance), but imagine the fluidity of the entire outfit if it were following the silhouette a bit closer - you wouldn't need opera length gloves for the aristocratic accent. Of course, if you would be able to breathe in it is an entirely different matter... ;-)

You look gorgeously dressed as if going to a nice dinner. Love the silhouette you created by adding the skirt underneath.

I really like the look of long sleeves with this dress, but it looks like you're losing your slip!
Posted 1226 days ago.
my favorite so far! love it, some earrings would've set it off nicely though, maybes?

wow! you look wonderful in these dress layers.
Posted 1226 days ago.
I agree with Holly, like your hair like that... I'm not sure about this uniform... It IS really strange, this silhouette is a bit weird... Anyway, you rock ! :D

Hey Sheena! This outfit makes me think of a time when I was about 3 years old. I went in my mom's closet and put on 3 skirts, 5 shirts and I tried to fit on 2 pairs of shoes. The shoe thing didn't work so I wore one of each. It was a disaster! Thank-you for making me recall some favourite child memories!

I love your feeling for combinations, but sometimes I think that you are the only one which looks good in it. ;)

Sheena,Having read Hanna's(Congrats..to Hannah)& Bronwyn's comments,Ican't help recalling something You said to your godmother spontaneously: (when you were just 3yrs old!)"you look so nice in that".You certainly had this "eye" for observation & "gift" for generous compliments from a such an early age & glad to see it continuing. BTW "you look so nice" in this outfit

Back from my little holiday - and rush in to check UP! The layers are adorable! And the yellow shoes are the perfect way to top it up!

I'm getting a bit of a flapper feel from this one which I like but the portion that looks a bit lace. I dunno. I like where it's going but something feels a tiny bit off
