What a wonderful score from your DH. Happy upcoming Anniversary! I love your EF finds - they look amazing on you. I actually have that same striped sweater (from the Bay), but sadly had to pass it on b/c it was a wee bit short on long-torsoed me, but then I went and accidentally shrank it...:( &nbsp;So sad b/c it's a fab sweater. Looks perfect paired with the EFs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1322087 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 14:27:36 +0000 Eliza 1322087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the faux wrap trousers!

It looks like my fall wardrobe will feature a lot of black but hopefully with various textures, shapes and accessories it won't be boring.</p> <p>Here are a few quick close up pics of the Coach bag - as you can see, it is in mint condition. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321762 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:53:38 +0000 Lyn D. 1321762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH Wow!<br />That bag is stunning and your man deserves honorary membership to YLF for shopping prowess and Killer Style choices </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321752 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:45:49 +0000 Emily 1321752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are great, but particularly love the EF drapery trousers and leather jacket in #3.

You did well on ebay. Love your shimmery shirt in #3 and the striped sweater.<br /> Happy anniversary--great story and how thoughtful of your dh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321747 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:38:35 +0000 Anonymous 1321747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww! I'm do happy for you Shannon. Cograts on your upcoming anniversary. I love that your first response upon finding you are home alone is to run to your closet to play. I think that might be a common YLF trait, lol! Your potential F/W outfits look just stellar. I second the motion to keep the longer blazer. And you know I'm swooning over that vintage Coach bag. I think the navy ones are more rare than black, so it must have been hard to find. It's in such good condition, too. Enjoy. I love how it looks with black. (And you're guaranteed to never shrink out of it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321718 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:07:38 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1321718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your description of your marriage... Sounds a lot. Like mine. Total opposites, but totally in love... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321713 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:04:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1321713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits work? Wow - thank you. There are more stylings I want to try but I was actually getting really hot by the end and had to stop - lol!</p> <p>As for my hubby...I consider myself an incredibly lucky woman. We've been together since I was 19 years old and have been through an awful lot together over the years. But we've never stopped holding hands, laughing, and talking about everything. We're complete opposites in so many ways and yet it works. I'm truly blessed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321711 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:04:12 +0000 Anonymous 1321711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots to love here! &nbsp;Both pair of EF pants look great on you, and I love the waxed skinnies with the drapey sweater. &nbsp;The Coach bag is awesome! &nbsp;I too have been permanently on a hunt for a good navy leather bag and can NEVER find the right now. I love this vintage number - and it looks in great shape.</p> <p>Also - you don't mention your striped sweater in the pics above...I really like the colours on you! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321707 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:01:45 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1321707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a girl after my heart for how you spend a down day!! These outfits and pieces are great (another vote for keep on there blazer), and I am seriously wowed by your husband's gift. That purse is gorgeous, and the time and effort he put into finding it is priceless (as is his excitement for not being able to wait to give it)! It is such a gift in itself to be understood so well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321703 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:58:57 +0000 Sal 1321703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a cool present from DH! Extremely special.</p> <p>Those two,pairs of pants will be well worn, you have so many ways to style them. They are perfect potential workhorses - current, comfortable, dressy but not too much so, and versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321700 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:55:24 +0000 CocoLion 1321700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super score on the EF pants for fall! Love how you've styled them. &nbsp;And the navy Coach bag is beautiful. &nbsp;Lucky you to have a DH who is an excellent gift giver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-dress-up-the-worst-kept-secret#post-1321693 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:47:15 +0000 MsMary 1321693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Anniversary, Shannon!&nbsp; I always think the very best thing you can do to ensure a good life is to choose your mate wisely, and you have certainly done that!&nbsp; :)</p> <p>The outfits are all stellar!&nbsp; You have really figured out a fantastic style that works beautifully for you! </p>
