WIW: For work & football - YouLookFab Forum

It is darn right CHILLY here these days - it's only about 10 degrees Celcius this morning and the predicted high is only 20 Celcius. The A/C is working like crazy in the office (is there such a thing as "over fixing" a problem?) and I'm going to our local professional football team's game after work. How the heck to dress for that???

I started with my TR Cameron slim BF's, then added a bright white v-neck tee and my CM floral moto. I popped on my snakeskin belt for a bit of pattern mixing (plus there is bits of taupe in the floral moto that work with the colour of the belt). I then chose my silver/bone sandals for footwear. And for my handbag today - yes, it's a Lug.

Then when I leave work to meet my BFF for the football game (yep - just us girls!), I will switch the tee and jacket for my grey Gap mesh sleeve sweater, change the bone sandals to my grey/white Cons and add my cobalt wind and rain proof jacket for later in the evening when it gets chilly. The Lug is the perfect handbag because I can wear it cross body so my hands are free to clap wildly should our team play well.

I did put on my metallic silver EF top under the moto first and absolutely LOVED the silver underneath the moto but unfortunately the neckline of the EF top doesn't quite work with the neckline of the jacket. Poop.

Anyway...what do you think of the work outfit? Do all these pieces work together for a casual Friday? and what do you think of the switches for the football game? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Moto jacket: Club Monaco
Tee: Joe Fresh

Looks perfect to me! Love those shoes and that jacket... and the jeans too!

Astrid

I'd love to have your temperatures, I'm at the office right now and melting.... I think the outfit looks great and your planned changes should be perfect too!

Joy

Although it's cooler here too today, I'd love your temperatures. Your outfit looks great for casual Friday and with the changes for the game.

Looks great, I need to try my moto with a white V-neck too -- love it. I think it is going to be worn all the time this fall/winter!

I like your swaps too for football. Bombers?

Touchdown! You rock those BF jeans, girlfriend! Both outfits are fantastic and are perfect for the occasions. And I think I am in love with that Club Monaco moto jacket.
I hear you on the dressing dilemmas - I had one the other day when I took my mother-in-law on a long trip to Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston - hot outside, cold inside, long time in the car, etc.
You look fantastic - have a great time at the game. Go Team!

Looks like a great outfit to me. You look so comfy for the game.

Suz

Great outfit, Shannon! And I must say I am loving your hair!

donnat

Looks great! Go bombers!

I love the casual tee with your floral moto. Great outfit! The changes sound perfect for a football game.

Oh I do love you in that floral moto. All the grey tones work beautifully and I like how you're doing the change-up for the game. Cons, sweater and jacket will be great. Enjoy the game!

Ceit - I totally agree! I plan on wearing the heck out of this moto in cooler weather. And like you, I plan on wearing it in the winter too - hopefully it won't look seasonally confused. Wouldn't it look fab over a grey turtleneck (if I wore turtlenecks)?

Suz - I'm really enjoying this hair cut and the new shape. Should I grow it even longer or keep it at this length?

Gold stars for Ceit and DonnaT for the Bombers reference.

GO BLUE!!!

Looks great Shannon - I'm so partial to casual outfits I know, but this jacket with jeans and that V-neck tee are just perfection with those shoes!

I love how the shoes make this casual oufit work for the office.

Beth Ann

Loving this, Shannon! I like to carry a little bit of my dressy self into these kind of situations, and it's so hard to do well. You've knocked it out of the park! Love the bag, the grey cons, the cobalt gear jacket. You'll look put together but football appropriate.

Thanks shedev, textstyle and Beth Ann
