WIW: Lovin' Me Some Orange - YouLookFab Forum

This top makes me soooo happy - I don't think you could be sad wearing all these swirling colours together, having your shoulders peek out, and adding in the huge dolman sleeves - just makes me smile!

I've paired this crazy cold shoulder top with my black clams but then to bring out the oranges more in the top, I'm wearing my orange wedge sandals. I didn't have time to switch out my handbag so still using my black/white one from yesterday. Hope it works ok.

I'm also showcasing my new bracelet that I thrifted the other day. I'm guessing it's 1980's and It's big and chunky, which I'm digging.

So what do you think? Does this work? Proportions and colours work ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

What a fun top - I am on Team Orange with you! It's such a happy color. The sandals are dreamy, I'm completely orange with envy

Love orange and that top, beautiful print and colours teamed with what a gorgeous fit!!! The black clams are perfect here, AND SO SLIMMING, yummy, I want them, too!

jayne

the top is silky beauty! and those shoes, wow, fantastic shoes!

Those clams are a great fit and very flattering shape on you Shannon. Another winning outfit. Those shoes are really cute and work very nicely with the top. The top would look nice with the white jeans and denim jacket too for another look.

That's a luscious outfit - the colours are really mouth-watering! I like the shape of the top on you, paired with the slimness of the black clams and the shes - I WANT those shoes (I don't look nice in orange, but it would be fine on my feet!).

Your lovely cat looks like he likes the outfit too ...

Kitty matches your outfit!

I LOVE that glorious top and those sandals are fab too.

Shannon, I look forward to seeing what you wear every single day. Your outfits are so well put together and you always look so stylish. This one is yet another beauty.

I love this top! It is vibrant and happy, but doesn't overwhelm you! Your crops are a tutorial on ideal tapering and length.

Have a great day!

Hi Gain

Ah, love it! Hooray for these seasons of prints, and yay for the newer printing technologies that give us such nice graphic patterns. Love that you bookended the top with a more muted orange for the shoe. Kitty thinks his swirly stripes coordinate quite nicely with yours. >^..^<

Ginny

Love that top!! grreat silhoutte and oh so slimming. Fun colors, makes me happy seeing you wear such a cheery well fitting outfit!!

Parsley

Love that wild and swirly print, and you look great in those vivid colors.
Super-Fab!

MsMary

Just beautiful! And I love the black and white bag with this outfit!

ManidipaM

Not only is Gain coordinating with your patterns and colours, but the stripe on the bag, the cork slice in the wedge, and the twirly bracelet all tie into the top!

Gorgeous, gorgeous look for you, and immaculate styling.

Shannon,
You look gorgeous in that blouse! I really like the way you echoed the orange with your shoes. It just always makes an outfit with black look more grounded when you can repeat the color! Gain makes a nice echo of color also! *Waving* at Gain!

Kiwichik

Made me happy too as did those fab orange wedges

Gain thanks you for the love - he may become my WIW posing partner!

Oooo, I loved that top from the beginning! So modern and fab with the clams. The orangey sandals are the perfect bookend. That color should have a food name, don't you think? Like butterscotch! Yummy!

Victoria

Love it! Love how you coordinated shoes and jewelry too:)

That is a nice flattering outfit on you, and so much fun! And the handbag works just fine. You don't want anything fighting with your top for the limelight anyway, so black and white is perfect.

I love the boat neck top on you and the colours are fabulous. It's a great casual outfit.

Shannon, we're bracelet twins! Is yours gold-toned? Mine is silver. I've had it for ages, probably since late 80s or early 90s. It's survived many jewelry purges and I still wear it often, especially in summer.

Super outfit! The top is dreamy, and I'm lusting after the orange sandals. Aren't Aerosoles the comfiest?

Thanks all for your sweet comments.

Blonda - yes, my bracelet is gold-toned. I love the weight of it. That's so cool that you have the silver version. As for Aerosoles, I have 3-4 pairs of them now (sandals, pumps and booties) and they are definitely one of my "go to" brands in terms of comfort.
