WIW: My Formula - YouLookFab Forum

Pencil skirt + tailored jacket + boots = Shannon's favorite formula (sometimes I'll swap out the skirt for a dress). An outfit like todays is what feels the most like ME.

I started today's outfit with my black knit pencil skirt to which I added my purple tank and then topped with my black/printed cutaway style blazer. Now that the cold weather has arrived, I added black micro fishnets for some leg coverage and chose my rugged Doc Marcies for footwear. I chose a vintage eel skin clutch for my handbag (talk about buttery soft!) and when I head out the door, will be wearing my navy coat with navy/white polka dot scarf. Jewelry is my silver wedding band and silver watch.

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

Jacket: RW & Co
Tank: Gap
Skirt: Cleo Petite
Boots: Doc Martens
Clutch: Vintage
Coat: London Fog
Scarf: Cleo
Watch: Gucci

P.S. I over exposed the pics slightly so you can see the details - I think it helps with darker outfits.

P.P.S. Gain says "good morning"

Just love the jacket and everything you chose to pair it with - including the coat!

You certainly do look like *you*. I see a woman very happy in her own skin
I love the purples and navy tones with black. Simply lovely, and the silhouette really suits you.

Terrific formula Shannon! (I also use this as a FFBO.) You look so sharp. That jacket is to die for. Hello Gain, you cute little photobomber!!!

Emily

Perfect formula! I love that jacket on you, you are owning the print.

Love this modern look -- feminine, but also a little "arty." You look beautiful.

Thank you all so much

When I bought the navy coat, I was originally wanting a traditional trench but never found one that fit me properly and so bought this one when I found it. And now I love it even more because it ISN'T a trench!

And yes...Gain loves to have his picture taken. He's such a diva - lol!

I love these boots every time I see them on you!

This is so you and so perfect, Shannon. You have such a great fashion eye. It's minimal and striking--not easy to achieve but you make it look effortless!

Joy

I love everything about this outfit. It looks totally you. My day is never complete without a glimpse of Gain

MsMary

You look great! Swap out the boots for pumps and we have the same formula!

Amy

It may be a formula, but you've reinvented it here with unique and interesting individual pieces. Your formula never feels boring. Love it.

And a great formula it is! I just love this.

This one works so well every time you do it and it is never the same or boring. Have fun showing how versatile this can be!

This is fantastic! I have to say I tried to guess the formula before opening and came up with dress and topper, so you have more than one iconic look in your stash!
