Hmmm. This outfit is not great, sorry. Really does look like you've got your skirt stuck whilst putting it on.

not loving this one - i think you should put the skirt under the uniform and let the edges peek out - that would be cute

gorgeous combination of cloak, earrings and shoes. i love how you break the rules by wearing items in different ways.

naah..its like you're trying too hard to put things together just to give it a new look.

would be interesting to see how it looks with the skirt pulled up to under your arms.
Posted 1366 days ago.
Not my favorite, but the color is great on you. I'd like to see the skirt as a skirt, either over or under.
Posted 1366 days ago.
The skirt doesn't really work for me as a cloak. Just looks like you forgot where a skirt goes. I agree with the others who said they'd like to see it peeking out from under the uniform dress.

I agree with bunneh who said, "I think you should put the skirt under the uniform and let the edges peek out - that would be cute." Then perhaps wear a red belt.

Fiery & daring indeed;and ofcourse different!Colours are fabulous too..but.......I wonder how pr4actical is the "skirt- cloak"?Sheena,you must've got "few looks" on the way to work.Still admire your skill & guts....keep it up

I love this! I never would have thought of wearing a skirt as a cloak! And the color of that skirt is so great on you!

What if you folded the skirt a bit higher up and pinned it with a funky broach? It might make the skirt pass for a cloak and make the look more smooth.

I love the burst of red! When you have shoes with interesting heels (like these platforms) could you try to take a picture showing the profile? Thanks!!

first time I'm not totally with you on an outfit...it still looks too much like a skirt, though it's a great skirt!

Sorry - skirt around the shoulders is a bit too weird.

This may be different, but think outside of the box people! This is what the uniform project is about: getting really creative and coming up with NEW looks, not just the same old stuff. I think it's adorable and really clever.

I'd like to see you raise your arms... Usually love your outfits. This one just missed the mark today.

Love the color (!) and cloak/earrings combo, and admiring the creativity (per usual), but not one of my favorite looks (mostly re the overall shape).

Looks fantastic. Very creative. Very clever picking up the stitching on the 'skirt poncho' with the earrings.
Posted 1366 days ago.
I love the idea of this outfit and the Salsa feel, but it does seem too much like your skirt is stuck.
Posted 1366 days ago.

uncomfortable, impractical--did you actually wear this out anywhere? L

I love the earrings -- they are kick ass. As for the skirt, it may have worked better worn as a tube top over the dress... but regardless, it's very striking.

I like the earrings, but the skirt as a cloak idea is really not working.

cindi aka www.tallysplace.blogspot.com tagged this TERRIFFIC
seriously people, do you understand what a cloak or poncho is? does everything have to be park avenue perfect? whether i like a particular outfit or not, i ALWAYS think what sheena is doing is amazing. if you haven't voted for her and eliza at NAU go do it right now and tell others too. also, donate! i was only able to donate $5, but it helps and maybe i can donate more later. Keep up the good work, girl!
Posted 1366 days ago.
Just not into this today. I would like to see it under the dress with some red accessories, or worn over like a boobtube.

Lorelei tagged this Hot
So awesome! I love the skirt worn on top. Such a great colour and it looks amazing with those wicked earrings!
Posted 1366 days ago.
Jenny tagged this Brave
Hmmm... it is interesting but I dun think I dare to wear skirt the same way you did with this outfit... Maybe as a tube but not as a cloak! =P

Ms. Sheena, I appreciate your willingness to try all different shapes and silhouettes.

eli tagged this awkward
Ummm, not so much. The colour is fantastic but it in no way resembles a cloak.

Payal tagged this Good on ya!
I love your spirit! I know the outfit may not be the most practical, but you know what, we let 'practicality' ruin a lot of fun things! p.s. your shoes are to-die-for!

This skirt as a cloak is seeming too much for me.... I guess it would be better on the bottom, but always over the uniform. Nice earrings, though.

Love the colour and the earrings, but the lampshade look doesn't do it for me either

Tessa Li tagged this Hmmmmmm :-?
You've clearly reached a pain barrier by rocking the "skloak". This is just a temporary glitch I'm sure - keep pushing through, you can do it!

Kate B tagged this Try Harder
Hm. I want to like it, but it really looks like you just didn't pull the skirt the rest of the way down ...

Tati tagged this Try Harder
I loved the colors, but the skirt doesn't work as a cloak, it really seems you "forgot to finish dressing"... But I loved your shoes!

Skirt as cloak is absolutely brilliant! Can't get over how cute it is. This is my 2nd fav outfit after 8/15.

Love it!Something I would attempt and then take it off half way through the day though.

I like the colour, but I have to agree that the skirt as a cloak looks exactly like a skirt trying to be a cloak.
Posted 1364 days ago.
c tagged this Batty
Nope, sorry. It genuinely looks like what it is - a skirt you are wearing over your shoulders. Not your best

Absolutely amazing. This blew me away. I love the earrings. This is some pretty bold work. Keep it up!

This is just hot! I love the look and the red brings out the warmth in your skin tone. I can't say enough. Just love it :)

I love it. Especialy because you used a skirt in a different way. A lot of cute skirts can be awesome tops.

Irene tagged this Batty
who would've thought of using a skirt as a cloak? But somehow it still looks a little awkward and very skirt-like. Cool idea though. I absolutely LOVE your earrings.

You did it again. Using a skirt as a cloak! I love it!
