A small change to the Dress of the Day format: instead of picking a dress and telling you what WE think of it, we're just going to pick a dress and let YOU tell US what you think. We''ll even provide a handy poll for your answers, but you should, of course, feel free to drop us a comment too, if you prefer.
We're starting off with this cream and black dress, which is £32 from Dorothy Perkins. What do you think? You'll find the poll under the jump…

We've decided to go easy on you this week.
When we wrote about the current trend for sequins yesterday, quite a few of you said you were more than happy to welcome sequins into your lives and wardrobes, so hopefully this will be less of a "challenge" and more like a bit of fun for a Friday afternoon.
With that said, we now invite you to create an outfit to wear with this sequined blazer, which is £80 from Warehouse. You'll find the rules of the game under the jump: please be sure to read them before starting to create your outfit!
We'll start to publish your outfits next week, but please be aware that we usually publish the results of this game in batches, so if your outfit isn't in the first batch, it just means we haven't reached it yet!

Penelope Cruz: "I'm beautiful enough that I can totally get away with these drop-crotch pants, right? Even although they DO make me look like a giant, mutant toddler?"
Pedro Almodovar: "Did I ever tell you I do a bit of undercover work for the Fashion Police from time to time, Pen?"
Penelope Cruz: "You're not taking me to the premiere, are you?"
Gwyneth Paltrow had herself a bit of a fashion renaissance last year, when she suddenly started wearing skyscraper heels and tiny little skirts. And she's still doing it. Here she is attending the Children of the City's Champions of Hope Gala this week in a Preen mini dress and… yes, a pair of high heeled boots.
This particular style of "ripped effect" bodycon dress has been popular on the red carpets of the world this year, but what do you think of Gwyneth's attempt to work it? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Tell us in the comments…
We're all familiar with the crime of fashion that is Boots-Pretending-to-be-Socks, but what if the socks in question are encrusted with sequins, like these Viktor & Rolf numbers? What then, readers? Is it still a crime of fashion, or does the presence of so many shiny sequins serve to distract you from the fact that your socks are still stuck to your shoes.
We THINK we know what the answer to this question will be, but then again, you've surprised us before, so we put it to you know: what do you think of these sequin sock/shoe combos by Viktor & Rolf? Would you convict or acquit them of crimes of fashion?
(If you want to acquit them, you can buy them at Colette, where they're $655.)
… you get Sivvy's 'Sophie' cropped skinny jeans, $242 at Shopbop.
Unlike our old friend jeggings, which are merely leggings PRETENDING to be jeans (Impostor Alert! Impostor Alert!), these are an actual hybrid: skinny jeans with a jersey insert. Which is… an idea. And if you're someone who has difficulty making your mind up in the morning ("Jeans or leggings?" So much choice!") you may even think it's a pretty good idea at that.
Do you, though? Would you pay $243 to find out what it's like at that border where jeans and leggings meet? Or does the photo tell you all you need to know?
The Fashion Police are rather partial to multi functional bags that can be carried in more than one way, so if the lovely colour of this one hadn't caught our eye, the fact that it can be carried either in the hand or over the shoulder probably would have.
It's by Kenneth Cole New York, and it looks like the kind of bag you'd be able to use for both formal and casual occasions fairly easily. It's also available in grey, and is $338 at Piperlime.
Shoeperwoman wants to know what you think of Gianni Barbatos'skull-heeled ankle boots.
Dollface has a message for all the mascara makers of the world.
Realtor finds a cute garden sofa for all weathers.
Grumpy Old Bloggers fall foul of The Parking Eye of Doom.
And has anyone seen Forever Amber's favourite dress? No, seriously…

She's been out on parole for a few months now, but tonight The Fashion Police can confirm that hardened fashion criminal, Bai Ling, is once more safely under lock and key, having violated one of the terms of her parole, namely the condition that she wear ACTUAL clothes at all times.
As we're sure you can see, Bai has gone back to wearing accessories only, and is seen here in a wide belt and what looks like a large bib. Don't worry, though, readers, the streets are safe once more, and Bai will have plenty of time now to think about what she's done.

We do love a sweetheart neckline on a versatile little black dress. Especially one that's reduced to £35 in the ASOS sale.
