Also, I find it a little bit funny to have "M" users all in the finale!
Leigh and I combined our reviews for each individual outfit, and wrote up an "overall" summary of our own. This way, it should be a bit less daunting to read through! We did not review the original outfit, but rather how well the new ones tie in with it, and their chosen theme based off of it.
MIKURA. - Formal Florals Task
1. Feedback on first outfit HERE
2. Love the double dress, which makes a formal two-toned look out of typically nightclub styled items. The hair-matching clutch is also a nice touch! A belt might have been good to break up the dress a little bit, it seems bulky as-is.
3. Bad choice in colour and cut with the pants, made worse by the shoes. The tie and top look cute, but overall it's very plain.
4. Best of this bunch! Awesome subtle flower and lace pieces. Nice pastel palette, combines different white but looks great doing it. There's a bit of texture here, and the long hair adds to it without distracting too much. Could do with a small bag.
5. Too many different blues here.Top, pants, necklace and shoes are very casual, a "beach house vibe, but the bag is more city-chic.
OVERALL:
LUCY - I'm really happy with the theme of this, it works to her skills very well.It's formal, feminine, and classic. They all look like they'd hang out together, and mix their clothes together. Two points down though is that, the last two don't seem to match the original requirements as well as I'd hoped, and second, while the first three all match shoes, the last two don't. This could have worked if the last two matched each other, but they don't, so it ended up looking inconsistent.
LEIGH - I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, but I like that she made two pants, and two dress/skirt outfits! They are a bit less formal than the original one as the task called for, but that's not really a major issue to me. I am really liking how it starts and also ends with the floral necklaces, with all the little earring details in between, often people forget those!
XmackennaX - Same Tights (Woman Woman)
1. Feedback on first outfit HERE
2. Love the stacoins only concept, wouldn't have guessed it if not for the caption! Super trendy with the cold shoulder, sneakers, a waist belt. The gold girly clutch interrupts the tomboy vibe a bit, but it does match the pants and lips.
3. Absolute favourite look. Super fun, bubbly, a great reflection of all her looks this cycle. Who thought blue lipstick could look this good? Perfect!
4. Really like the lace dress, coat and shoes. The pants work here, but aren't as much the focus as in other looks, which isn't a bad thing, just different. The choker is also unnecessary.
5. Layering the tights looks cool, the colour scheme is fun and the orange pops from the rest of the looks. But, the sunglasses are confusing, because this looked more "Autumn" than "day on the beach" without them

Overall:
LUCY - These outfits remind me of a girl gang - they're not the same, but they're fiercely loyal
- closet sharing required.. Each has such a different vibe but they all go back to making those bright tights the star. That her doll changed over the course of the week she was making them in only adds to that. I wish there had been something else to connect them all though, like a lipstick or shoe.

LEIGH - So into this right now, these are really bold and I can't think of anyone else who's worn these tights so well and for so many different looks!It really wraps up everything we've seen from her all cycle, super fun, pink, and unafraid of crazy, using the first ever look is really showing of how much she's grown. Like Lucy, I also wished she'd added just something to really make them go together a little more, because in making such different styles I am unsure these would work up on a runways, even if I could seem them sitting together at fashion week.
Manzaniithaa - "Glam Punk Inspired" (Semi-Final)
1. Feedback on first outfit HERE
2. Love the continuation of flared pants and the sheer body. Belt is very random, bag would have been nice.
3. Again, cool to see sheer, the leather/silk look is a neat contrast to the frill top. The bag is too chunky for such a delicate look though.
4. Liking the bold pop of pink, and the textured pants and jacket. Missing a bag and some jewelry - if not for the pink, this would be very plain.
5. Love this one! The stripes tie back to the original outfit, as does the high-wasted pants. The way the sleeves poke out also adds depth to the look. The floral shoes are a bit of a weird choice, but they do go with the shirt of the previous look.
LUCY: I'm definitely into the way she used the silk coat 3 times, it makes it look coherent, and the other items that tie the other looks together meant they don't look out-of-place. Not fond of the way she used gold in all of these, since the first outfit established it as being silver. The fourth look to me isn't as glam as the rest of them, either.
LEIGH - Even though her theme was loosely "glam punk", it isn't the first thing that I see with the newer looks, but all the same as a group these almost go together. Almost, because of the pink top, it would have been nice to see pink somewhere else here for that to work more. What I do like is that there's a lot of textures (Isn't that usually Lucy's comment?) going across them all. They're all tied together by things, even if they aren't the same items - like, 1 & 2 have high waisted flares and a crop top, 3&4 have high necklines with contrast tops, 4&5 have high waisted, crumpled pants. And there's also the silk coat repeating, and chunky heels! But I do have to agree with Lucy, that they all use gold when it started with the silver is a bit weird. Changing 3's bag for a silver clutch and earrings would have done enough I think.
