WIW: CM Floral Moto - YouLookFab Forum

The Club Monaco floral moto jacket arrived yesterday - I tried it on last night, fell in love and ripped the tags of. No Keep/Return necessary. This one fits perfectly - and for the record, I can zip it up just fine and it looks great.

Since sometime during the last year I joined Team Wear, I'm showing this beauty off today for Denim Day. I've popped it on over a plain white v-neck tee, semi tucked into my Gap sexy BF's with a wide white belt. On my feet are the perforated bone oxfords and I'm carrying my light cream handbag.

Have I mentioned I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket! Angie and Anna - you were sooooo right

Happiness scale? Immeasurable.

Now for a bit of advice please - would appreciate some styling suggestions on what else to wear the floral moto with. There are obvious choices like over my black sheath dress and my ink blue lace dress, white jeans...what else?

So what do you think of this outfit? Does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Club Monaco
Tee and jeans: Gap
Shoes: Dolce Vita
Handbag: Danier Leather

P.S. I just realized that three of the items I'm wearing today are Angie picks (jacket, jeans, shoes)...I wonder if that's why the happiness scale is so high???

The moto was a great wardrobe addition for you. So glad you decided to take a chance on it.

There is nothing I don't love about this including your cheeky poses! I will leave the suggestions to others and hope to enjoy the results!

Andrea W

Great outfit.

I vote that you should wear the floral moto with a striped dress (either sheath or maxi) or a skirt for that matter. Stripes and florals always go well together.

Wow, this is a great grown up floral! Als for the styling ideeas, all like you said ar good...You could also ad some color, or could it be some more tinny black and white dotted or thin striped monochromatic prints there on your top or lower half instead of solids ... am I wrong?

Deborah

Did I miss a post on this jacket? I love it Shannon. So you (and I want one too) what a fab jacket for spring.

carolbee

This looks gorgeous on you, so glad you bought it.

Shannon, posting quickly because I MUST go to bed but had to say that even from the thumbnails this is a winner. G'night.

Suz

YAY!!!! It is fantastic on you, Shannon, and so worth the wait. Absolutely love this!

For other combos besides those already mentioned, can you wear it with one or more of your slouchy trousers? Do you have a bright coloured pencil skirt to try with it (obviously black or white or perhaps a grey would work, but I am curious about how it would work with a bright, too). You have some neon accents you could pair with it, right?

Transcona Shannon

Thank you ladies!

Andrea - I do have a blue/white/black striped dress I'm thinking of trying it with. Thanks!

Suz - will definitely try with my black slouchy trousers and it's funny you mention a bright coloured pencil skirt...did a bit of damage at Cleo Petite last night and picked up a gorgeous cobalt blue pencil skirt (the longer and new version of our tiered pencil skirt) and a sour green flippy skirt that I could try it with (and an orange slouchy back zip sweater too). And I do have my citron clutch for some neon. Thank you for the suggestions!

Mochi

I swear, this is one of your Top Ten looks. Just love everything about it. Black, white and grey is a no-brainer for you.

sarah

Wow, it's SOOO great on you! Hooray!

missvee

Love it on you! Great pick. What about white on white - white jeans and top, black and white or snake print shoes plus citron clutch.
Your new skirts sound good too.

Beth Ann

Yummy and perfect for Shannon-style! I was just thinking, "this would look great with my bright blue pencil," when I noticed in the comments that you've just acquired a cobalt blue version. What fun you'll have making outfits with this jacket! Love it with the boyfriends.

kellygirl

That jacket is SO you, Shannon. I'm so glad that it worked out for you. LOVE it.

What a stunning jacket on you, especially because of your hair! Please wear it with everything, all the time. Do you have a black dress with small dots? It would be fun to try some tame pattern mixing like that.

texstyle

Love it Shannon! This is such a perfect floral for you - it goes well with your hair, looks modern, fits you perfectly and makes me feel like I still need to lean much more about fashion. lol.

bj1111

This is edgy and still you!

Isis

Love everything about this. YLF!

celia

There are so many other things I should be doing but couldn't help myself from commenting on the fabness of that jacket on you. You and it were meant to be.

I would try a almost white outfit with white jeans and white slouchy tee underneath.Or pair it with cobalt shorts , or your cobalt skirt, or a red/coral top and black slouchy pants .

Ps:I know, Angie's pics always make me happy to.

rae

Woohoo! What a fabulous happy ending, now that you got the right size and on sale to boot! Doing a happy dance for you.

Oh my....you have all given me such fabulous suggestions for further stylings - I need to write these all down.

And I'm glad that you like the jacket too - hey Rae, I've been doing the happy dance since last night!

Glad you're doing a happy dance Shannon! And so you should, you look great! Fab styling and lots more ideas as well. I look forward to seeing them

SO HAPPY YOU GOT THAT MOTO!! It's *so* Shannon it's ridiculous, and therefore meant to be yours

K to the power of K

How about pairing the jacket with those new long dressy shorts?

I need to recover from your sizzling style quotient, which means.....

*faints with citron crash helmet*

(I found the citron helmet last night).

Angie - you are so ADORABLE And I'm so relieved you found your citron helmet. Do you still have your white and pink ones as well? And thank you so much for the K2K rating - I'm humbled.

You have no idea how HUGE my smile was when I put this jacket on last night after ripping off the packaging like some crazy woman...will definitely try it with the dressy shorts (I still have to sew on the button). What footwear and top would you suggest to go with? I'm thinking my girly pointy toed kitten heels and maybe a slouchy white top?

Diane - I may not stop dancing for a while yet!

merwoman

Through the roof and into the stratosphere! No wonder you ripped the tags!!

Super cute!

kkards

this jacket is fab! and the matching shoes and bag!
outfit is a winner, no wonder your happiness factor is so high!

Karie

I haven't read the other comments yet, but my suggestions are:

Pencil skirt - red would be fantastic, but so would any other color
Your slouchy trousers
An A line dress
Anything and everything! The jacket looks GORGEOUS on you

Now I'm off to see what everyone else has said...
