LOVE this one

Love it!

Love the boots (!), and love the outfit from the knees up (great hat!) — but the boots seem a little bright for the rest of the outfit (although I appreciate the use of blue as a tie-in). Not a fav, but still admire the creativity . . .

wonder if you are keeping track of the cost of the shipping to get things to you and the amount of garbage being created in packing materials etc.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Like the hat.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Nice layering with the shirt and dress buttons to the front. Bravo!
Posted 3834 days ago.
simple but cute. Wonder y you went for blue boots,Sheena.. love the necklace with the “unique” pendant.
Posted 3834 days ago.
i like it and the blue boots really pop with the black and i luh-v the hat to cute!
Posted 3834 days ago.
The boots are a little bright but okay I guess.
I love the pendant!
Posted 3834 days ago.
good, but not my favorite.
Posted 3834 days ago.
I did not realize I have an NYC counterpart who loves vintage, hats, and boots as much as I do! I live in the ATL otherwise known as Atlanta. Like the shirt under the dress; betcha it could be worn over the dress, as well. My rating is a double pun if you consider the source of the pendant materials….
Posted 3834 days ago.
Can I get this dress for myself? I love your blog and your creations.
Congratulations!
Posted 3834 days ago.
I’m just not feeling this one. The boots are a little overwhelming in this combo. I do like the necklace, though.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Cobalt boots give me an electric feel!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Like this!
Posted 3834 days ago.
I really like the contrast of the checkered shirt against the dress…and the fedora is very cute on you!!
Posted 3834 days ago.
The Balance in your outfit seems to be getting disturbed by the boots! I am all for the pop effect if everything is muted without detail..the checks are a really distracting detail and so is the fedora 🙂
Posted 3834 days ago.
I’ve been following your project for a while now. In fact, I’ve seen all your outfits, and everyday (except for the gothic one), it seems like you’re just throwing on whatever you have in your room, as if there is no coordination or plan involved. I’m seeing the same dull colors everyday, with a few twitch here and there. Basically, there’s not much excitement going on here!
Posted 3834 days ago.
-Sigh- It’s still the same old dress with a few accessories. Why not brighten things up a bit? Getting pretty shady. I’m sure a lot of people will agree with me on this. It’s evident that your comment count is going down and many people just aren’t feeling it. TRY HARDER.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Congrats on being close to $7,000 raised for your cause (which is what the project is most about).
Posted 3834 days ago.
Thanks Mariah, it is indeed nice to see the funds going up!
Posted 3834 days ago.
You two are really daft! She is supposed to wear the same old dress — are you so thick as to get that?!! As for accessories, she is doing a kickass job given the constraints she has placed on herself. Her sense of color and texture is admirable. Wonder what the two of you wear on a daily basis, hyak!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Love, love, love this outfit. Keep it up. You are a fashion inspiration.
Posted 3834 days ago.
This is one of my faves! I follow your blog religiously and am always inspired – keep up the good work!!!
Posted 3834 days ago.
You look so cool! Modern manish like cabaret and Bonnie and Clyde!
Posted 3834 days ago.
I adore this entire ensemble, especially the hat and the shirt underneath. The blue boots really pop as well.
Posted 3834 days ago.
I’m not crazy about the boots, but everything else makes you look like a member of a ska band. (That is a compliment.)
Posted 3834 days ago.
The boots don’t really match, but otherwise, it’s cute!
Posted 3834 days ago.
love this! great idea – hope you take some shots on the street too!
Posted 3834 days ago.
How do you dare wear those boots? What were you thinking? Really? I though you were gonna lend them to me this week. Now I’m sad.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Kinda weird ish but hot
Posted 3834 days ago.
Sorry – I don’t like this outfit at ALL and I agree with A-mous. The outfits were much cuter in the beginning. I assume that you have different accessories every day in order to keep things interesting for the blog, but it defeats the idea of sustainable wear…and just isn’t working.
Posted 3834 days ago.
LOVE LVOE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! <3
Posted 3834 days ago.
love this …
the bright blue boots look great since the rest of the outfit is so neutral and dark.
Posted 3834 days ago.
The boots kind of ruin it for me, I’d like a simple black flat!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Aw honey, you look great every single day! Your accessories closet must be to the gills by now.
Posted 3834 days ago.
I’ve just arrived on this site, I’m sure the question has been asked many times, but how/when can we order the dress?
Posted 3834 days ago.
Love, love, love this random combination of textures and colours. This is the kind of outfit I’d see on the street and think I wish I was wearing that! Also the boots are a great length with the dress.
Posted 3834 days ago.
i’m wondering how many of those making negative comments have read what this is all about? this is an awesome way to raise awareness of what a wasteful society we have and also how one can be an individual without spending money on a new outfit everyday. sheena is to be applauded, commended, and emulated!
Posted 3834 days ago.
forgot to add the most important reason behind this….raising money for uniforms!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Love everything about this outfit except the boots. I do like the boots, just not with this out fit. But everything else is great. Love the hat.
Posted 3834 days ago.
I agree with Cindi…from the funds raised so far, almost 20 children will get a year’s worth if schooling…that’s TWENTY HUMAN LIVES that will be changed by what Sheena is doing. The negative comments have really gotten out of hand this week!! Constructive criticism or dislike is fine…but the bashing is completely unnecessary and downright rude! Sheena…every day is an inspiration, ignore the haters!!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Well, despite what many are saying, I love the boots! In fact, I’ve loved all of your outfits. It’s sad that a few people are seeming to lose sight of the purpose of this project, especially when you’ve had creative, unique, and (above all) fashionable outfits every day even without taking the “same old dress” into consideration. Keep it up. I know most could not do what you do, myself included. You’re such an inspiration! Keep that in mind, and ignore the rest. 🙂

j aime les bottes mais pas avec ca
Posted 3834 days ago.
Very cute! I applaud the recycling and featuring of artists in your project. That’s so generous of you. I hope you are having a blast with this. You make me smile everyday
Posted 3834 days ago.
Sweet. And the blue boot kick
it up a notch – oh yeah!
Posted 3834 days ago.
so very weird
Posted 3834 days ago.
Your too cute!!! It is so “rat pack” and has a Sinatra feel to the outfit. You won the Grammy in my book!
Posted 3834 days ago.
Everything Mariah said in comment #3. The whole top half of the outfit looks really masterfully put together, and I enjoy the boots, but I don’t think they jive with the rest of it completely. Would love to see those boots pop up again though! And the fedora. And the necklace; I love copper and I love the crafty concept behind it.
Posted 3834 days ago.
Today is my birthday. I’ve donated $88 for Day 88. The Uniform Project is a beautiful idea for a wonderful cause. Good Luck!
Posted 3834 days ago.
I like the bangles!! =D
Posted 3834 days ago.
Tricia, happy birthday! And thank you for pushing the funds over $7000! 🙂
Posted 3834 days ago.
Although some may say to ignore the “haters” and whatnot, I think you should do otherwise. These “haters”, in my opinion, are just giving constructive criticism on how you can improve your project so that more people will take interest. Try looking at some designer outfits or fashion runway shows. They’re quite inspirational. Believe me.
Posted 3834 days ago.
This makes the uniform so un-uniform…looks like a whole new dress.
Posted 3834 days ago.
This is a good one.
The boots are a sexy shakeup. Pardon the rant, but those critics (did you actually get style criticism from someone with “midwest” in their name? Holy fucking oxymoron!) should either donate something to the cause or go troll on gawker.com with the other “crying themselves to sleep with their box set of Sex and the City” hags.
Happy $7k day!!

Cute
Posted 3833 days ago.
i want those boots! zzzing! i searched etsy for some like them for about an hour…to no avail. great outfit today!
Posted 3833 days ago.
Can I have the boots when you’re done…?
Posted 3833 days ago.
Understated cool. Would look awesome at a festival
Posted 3833 days ago.
I have a suspicion that many of the negative comments are coming from the same person – they all have a similar writing style anyhow! Obviously you should take on board constructive criticism, but nothing from jealous people who are just trying to make themselves sound clever and put you down. Your outfits are getting more creative by the day!
Posted 3833 days ago.
cute
Posted 3833 days ago.
Awesome! How very creative to support a great cause. Good luck with your work. Smiles!
Posted 3833 days ago.
i really like this one!
Posted 3833 days ago.
THIS is SO hot!! Love the shot of blue with the boots!
Posted 3833 days ago.
it’s called the uniform project, not the sustainable project, and the funds are going toward a school. i think people are missing the point of the project- to wear a uniform in support of the schoolchildren. the fact that doing so is also an exercise in more sustainable clothing than having an entire wardrobe is one aspect of the project, not the main idea. at least that’s how i see it.. the negative comments on here are so misguided sometimes!

Posted 3833 days ago.
This is so cool!! I’d love to have it for myself. Congrats!!
Posted 3833 days ago.
color of boots n hat – ugly match.
would be better if boots were the same color as the hat…
Posted 3833 days ago.
Digging the hat.
Posted 3831 days ago.
Omg i luv this outfit…its amazing! keep up the good work girl 🙂 ur inspiring us all
Posted 3830 days ago.
I don’t like the necklace – make the whole maybe some neglectful. but I love colors – fantastic combination of brown and blue
Posted 3829 days ago.
Not very put together if u ask me. the boots should b like a dark green and u should hav a different necklace. if u did that it would b the perfect outfit.
Posted 3824 days ago.
I love the hat!
Posted 3822 days ago.
I’m in love with those boots!!
Posted 3810 days ago.
