WIW: For a change in the weather

After two glorious days in the mid +20's (Celcius), the wind changed to the north and our temperature has plummeted to a high of +10-12 today. A good day for pants.

I started today's outfit by grabbing my cobalt skinny jeans. With that, I added an old white/black/blue animal print flowy voluminous blouse - perfect over skinnies I thought. Then I added my white leather jacket on top of that to reign in some of that volume (Angie's structure over unstructured formula). For footwear, I pulled out my slightly beat up Boutique 9 laceless peep toe oxfords for neutral footwear. As you'll see by the close up shot, they need to be re-lined (sorry if that pic is gross). I didn't have time to change my purse from yesterday, so am using my white leather clutch again.

What do you think? Does it all work together? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Leather jacket: Danier
Top: Reitmans (thrifted)
Jeans: Jeanne Bekker
Oxfords: Boutique 9
Clutch: Danier Leather

Jacket and shoes make the outfit. Lovely colours.

I'm still learning about proportions so I can't really comment on that aspect, sorry! I love the colour combinations, I think they work really well together.

I I do wonder if maybe the pants are a little too long to wear with those shoes? I think the shoes are awesome and I think I need a pair like that!!

Looking good as usual!

Love this Shannon! You look great! Our temps are supposed to do the same next week.

The same happened with our weather in UK today
Looking great Shannon! I think the proportions are good and I do like your animal print top. Great accessories too.

Like Mona said, jacket and shoes (and jeans and top and clutch) make the outfit!

White and black and cobalt is such a fresh combination and your version is outstanding. The proportions look wonderful to my eye with just a few inches of your top peeking out under the jacket and the scrunching of your jeans.

Thistle

Love you in cobalt, and that jacket really has become quite the workhorse. YLF!!

You still look beautifully *Spring*, Shannon - despite your plummet in temps. At least there is no snow.

I LOVE all shades of blue and white. One of my favourite colour combinations, and you wear it so well

Flattering, fresh and fabulous! Three Fs and no rude words.

I think you look great! The white jacket looks perfect over the flowy blouse and the light shoes really work with the jeans and top.

Stephabee - these shoes have been major workhorses in my wardrobe for a couple of years now. One of my best purchases for sure. Not too worry about the pants being too long - I like a fair bit of scrunch at the ankle on slimmer pants so I don't mind them this length.

Thistle - I can already tell this jacket is gonna get a lot of wear and love! Soooooo glad that I found it.

Angie - yes, at least there is no snow. And thank goodness for no rude words - I'm not sure how I'd react

I think this outfit could also work with my new taupe patent pumps, yes?

Thanks ladies

Suz

Danier! Danier! Danier!! White leather jacket to the rescue!!

You look fabulous, Dahhling. Love that top!!

The white and cobalt are so cheerful together, and the printed top softens the brightness just enough. Sorry the weather has dropped... send some of that cool air our way. Good trade.

Loved your look so much, I did a copycat! I just love your WIW.

BTW, whatever weather you get, we get the next day! Sad, but true.

LOL!

Suz - I'm sooooooo glad Una kept me on track to find MY white leather jacket. I love it! and so much more than I would have loved the yellow or the blue.

Rae - you've got yourself a deal - your heat for our cool!

Carla - ack! How fab - I'm thrilled (and humbled) with your copycat. Gorgeous!

You should change the name of your blog to "Danier Queen" or "Jacket Queen", lol! Is that beauty lined with polka dots?! That makes it extra fab! You look wonderful. Great colors on you again.
