WIW: Flowers, Denim and Pretty Green Shoes

Another rainy day here (yuck) but am wearing my flower garden instead of trying to work in it! Today started with my floral frock, popped on my light wash denim jacket and then added my pretty green shoes for another bit of colour - sort of like walking on the grass...I'm wearing my simple black and white handbag and my recently thrifted vintage Bakelite bangle. I've been searching for a pink Bakelite bangle for almost a year now - I wanted a wide, substantial one, no cracks and small enough to fit my wrist (most just fall off me). I found this one at a vintage shop last week and quickly snapped it up.

So how does this outfit work to your eye? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: thrifted (no label)
Dress: Cleo Petites
Shoes: Poetic Licence
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)
Bangle: thrifted

i love this one! A lot of contrasts going on, and of course I love the vintage elements! Great with walking-on-grass-shoes!

That bangle and those shoes with that dress, the rugged denim and the ladylike tipped bag just made me very very happy --- but then it's always good to see you, Shannon!

I think this might be one of your (many) best outfits Shannon- everything works and looks super!

Tanya

Such a pretty outfit Shannon! Love those shoes!

Sona

loving the 'garden you are wearing'. For some reason the bangle seems a bit too much to my eye with this particular outfit:not sure if its because I am used to seeing you with minimal jewelry these days or something else. Sans bangle the outfit is gorgeous x1000000000000.

Shannon, may I just say that your gams are looking terrifically toned?

And this must be the sexy flower pot look? <grin>

I absolutely LOVE this combination. For some reason the pretty shoes with the denim jacket particularly tickle my fancy this morning.

I think the outfit is very nice. I really like the bright shoe to anchor it and the light cropped denim is perfect with it.

I am finding the strangest things come to mind lately. When I looked at pic #2, your facial expression reminded me of a cat I once had. If I called his name, he would turn his head slightly towards me but wouldn't look at me. It was as though he was saying, I know you are there but refuse to openly acknowledge you. He was such a personable boy. LOL

This is perfection--there can be no improvement on this look! Love! Congrats on finding that elusive perfect pink Bakelite bangle :).

Th dress is perfect! And i love how you incorporated green (shoes) and pink (bangle) without looking preppy. And of course I think that may be my favorite of your bags....

Wow, Shannon! This is an amazing outfit! I love this floral dress and it looks perfect with your green shoes that you know I LOVE!!! Your light jeans jacket goes great with it, too and I'm also jealous of your purse! This is another one of your fantastic outfits! PS, we are supposed to be getting thunderstorms today, too.

Wow! What can I say that hasn't already been said? That is one great outfit. YLF from head to toe. I particularly love the shoes.

Great outfit! I LOVE those shoes--I am always looking for my perfect green shoes but still have not found them. Maybe this is a sign that they will find me!

LOVE how the light wash denim softens all those saturated brights. The shoes are TDF with this!!!

Fantastic! LOVE the green shoes. The dress is great on you. Perfect styling from top to bottom. Have a fun day!

You got a KILLLER. You got a KILLER! *in sing-song* Yay!

I love this outfit. The shoes and dress together are so pretty I just want to cry! The bag and the bangle are all so perfect. I'm glad you are creating your own spring, even if the weather won't cooperate.

I really appreciate the thought that has gone into this outfit Shannon.
The effect is 'Eezy Peezey Summer Breezy' and DIVINE!

Thanks Una, Meredith, Anna, Kirti, Jayne, Abie, biscuitsmom, Aida and Lyn! I'm glad you all approve - I'll pop this outfit into the "frequent rotation" pile, shall I?
