Black & white with leather & suede

Today's outfit started with my Maggy London faux wrap dress - still going strong after two years. What's great about this dress is that it still works with my new size - I just moved the snap over a wee bit and tightened the tie. I would have loved to have paired my black and white ankle strap pointy toe kitten heel shoes with this but alas, it's too cold now for those shoes as they really do work best with bare legs

So instead I put on a pair of nude hose (thank you Angie for letting us know it's ok to wear hose!) and popped on my blue-purple suede booties. On top of the dress I've added my black leather blazer and chose my black/white leather handbag. Jewelry is just my silver Haida wedding band.

When I head out the door I'll be adding my navy coat and navy/white polka dot scarf.

So what do you think? does this all work together? as always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Your booties look black in the full-outfit shot on my monitor, so I will have to imagine how fabulous this must look with the purple!

Truly lovely Shannon Love the punch of colour from your booties and your dress fits beautifully. Looking good!

You look gorgeous, Shannon And I really love it that you always add a "still life" picture with the pieces that you're wearing. It's so great to see how the different textures are playing together. And, as Aquamarine, I wouldn't have guessed that the booties are blue-purple as they look black in the outfit pics!

My suggestion is keep up the good work! You are a great source of inspiration for me Shannon!

Gorgeous, Shannon!

When I was losing weight I had a couple of dresses like that and they were complete godsends. This dress has always been one of my favourites on you. So glad it is still making you smile.

And that is why I include my still shot of accessories, footwear, etc at the end - to show the true color and texture, which is often lost in the overall outfit pic.

Suz - aren't wrap dresses the BEST when there are weight changes?

Love the ladylike, dramatic dress with the edge of leather and booties. Such a grand combination. The dress fits beautifully!

Parsley

That wrap dress looks terrific on you. It's so nice that it can change right along with you! You've accessorized it perfectly here. The blue booties are a fun touch.

Sona

This is the "TS" style I love. crisp, current with your own personalized touches. That dress is very " au courant always" and should stay in your wardrobe.

As always it works great, Shannon. Love how blue booties add some fun to all black and white outfit.

I agree that this is a classic Shannon outfit. Perfectly perfect.

Those booties are gorgeous! You look super fab!

Heck yeah it works! You know Shannon, I can't even remember how you used to dress when you first joined YLF, but you look so fab now! I love how the blue booties are just a little different since they don't match exactly. That's how to tell a true fashionista!
