WIW: Sveta copycat

Transcona Shannon

Veteran

I loved Sveta's outfit she posted the other day with her floral frock, white denim jacket and teal handbag. There was something so very fresh about the white jacket over top a floral dress that had a black background - something I had never thought of putting together. So I am shamelessly copying that look today with my floral frock with black background, white denim jacket, green handbag and neutral footwear.

I hope I did you proud Sveta and thank you so much for the inspiration

You look incredible Shannon! I'm surprised you hadn't thought of this, it looks very "you".

Now off to look for Sveta's inspiration outfit...

Looks great Shannon! I ordered a white denim vest, I want to try it with my dresses. You and Sveta inspired me!

This is one of your best IMO. Gorgeous look from great inspiration.
That dress fits to perfection and the bag adds even more wow. I need one summer dress outfit that works as well as this one does for you and Sveta. Inspiration all around!

K-word worthy. You and Sveta are style inspairations xo

So fresh and un-fussily feminine. The white denim jacket keeps a floral from any hints of twee, but still adds some brightness and "pop."

Hope you feel great today back at work!

Looks great, and I love the cat shot!

Looks great! That dress is a great example of a summery "black" print due to the selection of the fresh colors in the print.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments - all credit goes to Sveta for her great outfit inspiration.

I may need to look at replacing my floral frock unfortunately - it's getting a bit tired looking in spots and is getting quite a bit of pilling

How exciting! You used it all up, and now you can find something else spectacular. Well done, frock!

I remember you saying you were going to try this and it came out great! That white jacket is super sharp against the black background of the dress and your emerald bag is eye-popping arm candy. Love it!

Your floral dress looks even more summery with the white jacket. I love your green bag with this outfit. Lots of inspiration from you and Sveta. There may be at least one more copy cat this week;)

Very nice, and I really like the cleaner touches of the bag and jacket with the traditional floral print.

How did I miss this post?!! <jumping up and down in excitement>
I think you outdid your humble inspiration, Shannon - you look spectacular - but then you always do
Too bad about the dress but I think it earned a retirement by now - you wore it a lot last year didn't you?
Actually I must confess that I bought my dress because I liked yours very much: I am not big into florals but this black background and abstract watercolor inspired flowers were just the ticket for me - inspired by you! See what goes around comes around...:-)

Im doing a bit of a happy dance! Everytime I see this dress it makes me smile. You always look wonderful it in. Great pairing with the white jacket! No need to look anywhere else for inspiration, there is so much of it here on the forum.
