I'm a big fan of that kind of unexpected contrast, so I for one think it's definitely worth a try. It's great belt too, very versatile, it will look great with your new boyfriend jeans as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673967 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:02:19 +0000 Kiwichik 673967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress &amp; so glad you remembered these shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673324 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 02:13:45 +0000 ManidipaM 673324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How?! (Could you forget those shoes?)</p> <p>They're perfect for this gorgeous retro look of course. Brilliant with that pop of red at the waistline, even though like Inge I'd prefer a wider belt on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673232 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 23:23:43 +0000 Melissa 673232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, you look pretty! Lovely dress. Perfect fit. Love your choice of accessories. I see others are voting for a wider belt. Dunno, you'll have to let us see. Pretty choice of accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673202 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:39:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 673202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> <p>Inge - I agree that a wider belt would look a little better. I'm kind of eyeing that calf hair animal print one Angie just listed in her blog - do you think that could work with such a "ladylike" dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673135 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:05:42 +0000 Inge 673135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the right decisions. I would also love to see the dress with a slightly wider belt, but am loving all the red as accent colour here. The shoes look great, and my word, that animal print clutch looks stunning with EVERYTHING!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-673132 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:03:16 +0000 Anonymous 673132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job being the boss of your clothes, Shannon. It turned out great. And the shoes? Pure fabulosity.

Good decision to snip, it's like a fab blank canvas now, you will be able to use infinite belt and shoe possibilities with this dress. The skinny red belt is great and I love those shoes!

I'm so glad you snipped away. You will have a lot of fun with belting this dress. And I love it the way you've styled it. Terrific shoes, and what fab handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-672777 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:54:58 +0000 Krista 672777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another rocking outfit! Love the combination of primary colors - and your lipstick color brings it all together. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-672773 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:45:39 +0000 Deborah 672773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I think the strap on the shoes sits low enough to not be leg shortening. I adore this dress on you and the hint of red it just lovely. Great shoes, can't believe you forgot about the poor babies:(. Lovely outfit with beautiful retro vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-diy-and-forgotten-shoes#post-672771 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:37:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 672771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After my post yesterday about cutting off the attached wrap around self tie on my navy eyelet dress (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-it-off" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....cut-it-off</a>), I went "snip snip" and a whole world of possibilities opened up for different belts for the dress. I popped out to see if I could find any bright coloured belts that tickled my fancy, but nothing sparked my interest so this morning, I added my bright red skinny leather belt that I already had and then I remembered these Clarks Indigo red shoes that I had completely forgotten about. Shame on me! These shoes have an ankle strap so have the potential to be leg shortening but I'm not going to fret about that because I love these shoes and they are extremely comfortable. A swipe of red lipstick and my yellow and cobalt leather faux snakeskin clutch and I'm ready to go.</p> <p>Over to you...was cutting off the self tie belt a good idea? How are the proportions and colours in this combination? As always, all suggestions/comments welcome.</p> <p>Dress: Anne Klein (consignment)<br /> Belt: Attitude by Jay Manuel<br /> Shoes: Clarks Indigo<br /> Handbag: Trouve<br /> Watch: Gucci (thrifted) </p>
