WIW: Graphic Black & White with Cobalt

Now I feel like wearing a dress AFTER the dress challenge is done - lol!

Started today's outfit with my black and white graphic print Maggy London faux wrap dress. I then decided to up the contrast quotient and paired it with my cobalt VC jacket. I realize the necklines compete a little bit here but I actually kind of like how the dress collar peeks out.

I added nude micro fishnets and my Doc Martens Marcie boots for some urban footwear. I've added my black/cream leather handbag and jewelry is just my silver wedding ring.

What do you think? Does the jacket work with this dress? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Vince Camuto
Dress: Maggy London
Fish nets: Hue
Boots: Doc Martens
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)

Cobalt and black is always such a great combo. Love the dress, you should definitely wear this (all of it) more often!

Such a graphic beauty! I also like how the dress's collar plays with the jacket's.

To. Dye. For. Pure Shannon style. Platform boots are just what takes it to a whole other level. Very inspiring this morning. Thanks!

I love it! the black detail on the jacket is lovely; it zips up doesn't it? It's a striking and vibrant outfit and the boots say you mean business. Fab!

I just love that dress on you and mixing it with the cobalt blue and black coat and especially adding the bag with opposing white trim is brilliant!

This is a wonderful outfit, Shannon! Gosh that dress is flattering on you. Pure perfection with the cobalt jacket, too!

Lovely. I find the way the collar of the dress peeks out is a nice detail here. Cobalt, black and white are a stunning combo, and the docs edge it up and stop it being too "classic" a look.

As an aside, I saw a jacket incredibly similar to this one today in one of our local stores, just to further encourage you that it doesn't take long for other versions and variations on what we see in the US to make their way to our shores:).

Black, white and cobalt is such a modern combo and it looks stunning on you. I love the dress and jacket each separately but they are even more fabulous together. Gorgeous outfit!

I love the way your legs fill out booties or mid-calf boots when you wear dresses and skirts. Such an amazing look on you!

I heart this look on you Shannon. I love the boots and of course the jacket -- they play so well with the print. This is a very Lady Prince look. I love it. (...Marking as one of my favorites

Trying to catch up on the day, Shannon! This look is fresh and, can I say it, almost springlike!

Love the color mix and the spot-on silhouette.

I must be tired, I just signed my post like a work email. I wonder how many times I've done that?

MaryK - this jacket was a slightly early Christmas gift from hubby. I'm so grateful that there are some makers who have petite jackets at the right length!

Day Vies - you are too sweet! Thank you

Beth Ann - and our weather today had a wee hint of spring (at least, a hint for us anyway!). LOL - your business signature.

Wow, Shannon! This is one of my all-time favorites on you. I love the brilliant blue jacket with the crisp graphic print. Perfectly accessorized with booties and bag. Love!

Love! You've now inspired me to pair my cobalt blazer with my black and white print dress! I've admired this jacket ever since it came out...if I hadn't already purchased a blue jacket I would have snatched it right up! I'll live vicariously through you if you don't mind...sigh...

Amazingly bright , strong and bold. You just didn't want to out do the rest of us in the dress challenge.

Another really great and modern look! I love that dress but with the cobalt topper it rises to another level. The Docs are a brilliant inspiration.
