WIW: B&W Repeat - YouLookFab Forum

It's funny how I used to hate being seen in exact repeat outfits and now, if I really love the outfit, it doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it makes me happy because it means (as Angie would say) that I'm wearing the heck out of my clothes. And isn't that why I bought these items?

Today's outfit consists of my black cropped slim leg EF pants (will definitely need to purchase the winter version of these), white tank, and black-white ombre silk long voluminous blouse. To say I love this blouse is a total understatement. On top of that for the freezing office A/C is my trusty black blazer from my skirt suit. My skirt suit was also a fabulous purchase in the last year - so incredibly versatile.

I finished off the outfit with my black/white ankle strap pumps, white leather clutch, black/white specs and a grey/silver bangle.

And because I've shown you my bold red and bold pink lips, I thought I'd show you my version of a soft lip - a raspberry shade gloss.

As always, all comments/suggestions welcome - thanks for looking

I love how you are happy repeating your outfits, Shannon. Trust me, with such beautiful outfits like yours, I would wear them over and over again and never get tired of them.

It is beyond a doubt one of your best ever.

I love this outfit! And I always look forward to your WIWs. Thank you!

Shannon I used to feel the same way! In fact my claim to fame with my girlfriends was never wearing the same combination twice. But now I would wear the same outfit two days in arow if I wanted to lol.

This is a beautiful outfit, the shirt is such an interesting piece and those pants look to have such a lovely fall and drape. I so want to come over and play on your closet

Great shoes!! You look really put together for the office! Lately, I have been writing down what I consider to be "winner" outfits and will wear them fairly often. I have never had a problem with wearing the same outfit twice if I really love it, and it takes a lot of pressure off having 'go to's' that you know are going to look great. The outfit you have on seems to be one of those! I get tons of mileage out of black blazers and pants! That's a great shade of lip gloss with your coloring!

If I had outfits like this, I would repeat them too
I love how this echos the colors in your hair. The blouse looks lovely and it's perfect for this outfit. The shoes and clutch are gorgeous, as is your raspberry lip!

Love!:-) I do wear the exact same outfit perhaps once in 2 weeks in a mini season, and have no problem with it!

Shannon those shoes were made for that blouse and vice versa. I love this and it looks totally new to me, and will enjoy seeing it as often as you feel like posting it!

I LOVE repeats!! Play on, oh gorgeous one!!! This is one of my favourites on you.

This combination is both sleek and soft -- and you look stunning in it! It feels to me like the broader fashion culture for "ordinary' women is going through a transition at the moment --- less throwaway fashion and more practicality. You're a perfect example of how this change can result in even better style.

Love it! And am starting to do this myself. In fact, I wore yesterday's outfit for just a few hours, and decided to wear it again today. I won't see any of the same people, and it's still clean. I like having clothes and outfits I like well enough to wear over and over.
