Love the Southwest theme and "backwards" approach (creative) -- but just not feeling the outfit today . . .

Ow! Sheena's on the war path! All you need now is a pair of knee high Gladiator sandals and a spear. Love that embroidery!!!

It's difficult to mix blacks. I give you credit for trying!

bunneh tagged this and one more thing..
anyway you can post a view of the back? that might help to solidify the outfit in our minds -- it's the fear of the unknown that is bugging me LOL

Hmm, doesn't look like a real outfit, just a bunch of clothes. I feel like you're getting bored already!

I like the side view - looks like a cowl in the back. Plz post more back view shots!

I don't know why everyone is not into this one. I like it. I like the style of the belt hanging down from under the top.

I love how wearing the vest backwards gives the outfit a different silhouette than usual. Keep it up!

Very "weekend casual". Looks put together, but doesn't look like you were trying too hard. Well done.

The combination of this vest with the dress looks very cool. And I also love the blue! But the belt is too much, I think ..

Except for the shoes, I like it. It seems to have a Native-American vibe.
