I can just imagine how thrilled you must be --- those are 'special' basics too, a la Natalie, to my eye at least. Each is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Now I can't wait to see the fourth piece. Soon, Shannon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-783489 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 03:14:13 +0000 Mochi 783489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great scores! I particularly like the second one. It would seem like you could really dress it up or down, and wear fall into spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-783385 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:41:38 +0000 Thistle 783385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah for hubby!

Your DH is an absolute gem. Hold on to that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-783030 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:05:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 783030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting point Natalie - I didn't think of these as being "statement basics" but I think you're right. It's not just a plain black knit skirt, it's one with some sort of detail to it, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-783023 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:50:17 +0000 goldenpig 783023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks Shannon! As usual, I would wear any of your pieces, I love your style. Even though you say these are basics, each of them has a unique detail, like the paneling on the black skirt, pattern on the second skirt, and tie on the black shirt, that makes them interesting. I'm like you, my basics have to have that little twist that elevates them from truly basics to "statement basics". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782989 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:31:22 +0000 Carole 782989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all, especially that middle colorful skirt! You will have loads if fun with all if these great pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782986 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:26:13 +0000 Mo 782986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, looks like the sweet Significant Other is a shared theme! Love that formula. I scribbled something about one dressier piece per outfit for my own casual formula but it's a lot like yours.<br /> Great score on the items and I hear you on just the right basic being wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782983 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:22:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 782983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara, pil, Junebug, Suz and Emily!</p> <p>These are not in and of themselves, what I would call exciting or interesting pieces. They are basics. But I'm coming to the realization that it's how I wear a basic item, what I pair it with and what accessories/footwear I choose that makes an outfit visually interesting. Not every.single.item. in an outfit has to be different or edgy and in fact, if every item is, I find that too much for me personally. And if the basic fits well and is of good quality, combining it with an interesting colour or edgier piece makes it work.</p> <p>I have this formula on my pinterest page and more and more it feels like the right formula for me.</p> <p>Suz - I can also see the multi coloured skirt with my taupe Clarks lace-up boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782980 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:19:16 +0000 Emily 782980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How sweet of your husband! I can't wait to see that black top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782973 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:10:42 +0000 Suz 782973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!!! I love the skirts and can't wait to see how you style them. They should work with many of your jackets and tops. Can't wait to see that wine print one with your SE booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782956 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:52:38 +0000 JuneBug 782956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the multicolored skirt and the black panelled one! The multicoloured animal print one would be very versatile indeed, although it's a statement piece, it would go well with so many neutrals and other colors that you can easily have multiple outfits out of this one! The length and cut too is feminine and ladylike. The panelled skirt is a staple and will probably last you a long time! The black tie on the side top looks simple in the way it's displayed on the website, but once draped on you, am sure will look feminine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782955 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:52:28 +0000 pil 782955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! You'll surely get lots of use out of all pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782953 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:47:50 +0000 Sara L. 782953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these pieces are great! I'm really curious how you end up styling the black skirt because I have something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-with-hubby-money#post-782951 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:44:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 782951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hubby's been doing some freelance work lately and ended up getting a lovely bonus from a client who was beyond thrilled with his work. We've finished paying off the roof repair on our home and although this doesn't mean I can go nuts with shopping, my sweet man and I went out to do some Christmas shopping last night and he tossed me a bit of his bonus and said to go buy myself a few things.</p> <p>There's only a few pieces I've been wanting so I was very frugal and with his eyes saying "yes" to each of the items, this is what I came home with. There are no K/R to these as they are already in my closet and have been hubby approved. </p> <p>These are good wardrobe pieces for me to integrate with what I already have and are basics. But they are also basics that fit incredibly well, are good quality and I can "funk" up with other wardrobe pieces, footwear, jewelry and handbags.</p> <p>The first is a black knit skirt with a black/grey patterned centre on both the front and back. Simple but comfortable and very versatile for me. Also great petite length.</p> <p>The second is a multi coloured skirt that is midi length on me and has colours that will work with several of my jackets and my cream fisherman knit sweater.</p> <p>The third is a simple black top but with beautiful draping on and a side knot. Looks great with skirts and trousers.</p> <p>Unfortunately the fourth item I can't find on the website so will just describe as being a peasant type blouse with a wide band gathered at the hips, 3/4 length sleeves with green and black, and comes with green matching cami. </p> <p>All are from Cleo Petite and very good prices. These will totally round out my wardrobe.</p> <p><a href="http://www.cleo.ca/shop-categories/skirts/novelty-knit-pencil-skirt-petite-only-/prod1003967121.html?previousCat=c_skirts" rel="nofollow">http://www.cleo.ca/shop-catego.....t=c_skirts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.cleo.ca/sale/wine-print-pencil-skirt/prod3335CSK2312R.html?previousCat=c_skirts" rel="nofollow">http://www.cleo.ca/sale/wine-p.....t=c_skirts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.cleo.ca/shop-categories/blouses-tops/black-knotted-tie-top-petite-only-/prod9107ED45142.html?previousCat=c_tops" rel="nofollow">http://www.cleo.ca/shop-catego.....Cat=c_tops</a> </p>
