Looking at this outfit it's easy to imagine the shirt&nbsp;with tuxedo pants etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry about the end-of-day saggy butt feeling, but glad you feel more at ease in the top. Body shifts both&nbsp;giveth and taketh away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047787 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 01:23:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1047787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness - I'm so sorry about coming back to this thread so darned late. What a CRAZY day!</p> <p>So glad you all like my metallic top - I kept having the B52's song Shiny Happy People running through my head off and on today - lol!</p> <p>Neha - I think you're right about the trousers. By the time the day was done, I felt like I had a major crazy of "saggy butt" 'cause they are just too big.</p> <p>Thanks all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047599 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:41:12 +0000 Anonymous 1047599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I<b> love </b>that top! I agree with Deb about the skin showing on your feet adding lightness to your bottom half. It looks a perfect early autumn outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047589 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 18:21:40 +0000 Beth Ann 1047589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny!&nbsp; Casual Diva, that's what you are today!&nbsp; Show 'em what you got and then some!</p> <p>Fit is perfect, and color is oh so very flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047516 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 16:36:24 +0000 kkards 1047516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>even before i enlarged the photos, i could tell that top was something special. that top will elevate any outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047506 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 16:24:06 +0000 Anonymous 1047506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love here.&nbsp; That top is fabulous on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047458 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:28:31 +0000 annaj 1047458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it Shannon!

That top looks like liquid silver.&nbsp;I like the sandals - they look like peep toes like shevia said. &nbsp;You could always add a bright bag, red or cobalt maybe, if you wanted a little more pop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047450 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:24:38 +0000 Wendi1984 1047450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

But I do think you need the pants in a smaller size. (It feels great when that happens, doesn't it?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047388 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:41:01 +0000 Thistle 1047388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the EF top on you!&nbsp; So pretty and shimmery!</p> <p>Not as sure about the sandals, but then my eye was instantly drawn tot hem. I do so love the top on you, so my preference would be for my eye to fall there first.&nbsp;</p> <p>A fab FFBO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047359 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:12:52 +0000 lyn* 1047359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shimmery top on you :3 Good luck with the suckers at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047356 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:12:15 +0000 Angie 1047356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The EF top fits absolutely perfectly. You're looking <b>so good</b>, Shannon. Casual Chic is just how I would have described the outfit too. Hang in there with the work stress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047314 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:12:52 +0000 jayne 1047314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfits, so casual chic. &nbsp;That top and false tuck are perfection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047302 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 12:44:01 +0000 Sona 1047302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nothing simple about the outfit in the way it looks: avant garde and chic. The fact that it was simple/easy for you to put together and that the elements involved are minimalistic just points to how well you are getting to know your wardrobe, item pairing and your body. Kudos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047281 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 12:02:27 +0000 Jaime 1047281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I absolutely love that top on you! The sandals read as peep toes from here and the semi-tuck with belt is perfect. That said, lower 20s celcius (70s fahrenheit)&nbsp;is considered boot weather here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047278 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:56:49 +0000 Deborah 1047278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon this a great transeasonal outfit. The silver top is just beautiful on you. For me the sandals work because we can see skin, which stops the outfit from being "bottom heavy". Simple but very stylish:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047266 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:29:42 +0000 Anonymous 1047266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, Shannon! I find the sandals a bit incongruous with the long dark trousers, but I get you on dressing for the weather. That silver top is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-simple-outfit#post-1047263 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 11:27:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1047263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got some work stresses going on right now and felt the need for a simple outfit today - sort of the dressier work version of jeans and a t-shirt if you will.</p> <p>Started the outfit with these black trousers by Jay Manuel. They are very menswear-ish and normally I don't like these type of side pockets but because the fabric isn't stiff or heavy, they lay fairly flat. They're a little bit big so may need to buy them in a size down soon. But my black belt holds them up and they will be comfy.</p> <p>To the trousers I added my silver Eileen Fisher short sleeved top. I'll be honest in that I wasn't sure about this top at first and found it a wee bit snug in the mid section - and this fabric shows&nbsp;<i>every</i> lump and bump, believe me. But between me shrinking a bit and the top stretching out a bit, we have met in a happy place I loooooooove how it's like wearing liquid. It feels so good on and now has perfect slouch.</p> <p>I've added my trust black Clarks sandals for footwear (going to be in the low 20's Celcius today) and my light cream handbag. For jewelry I'm wearing my silver wedding band and a pounded silver bracelet that was a gift from hubby a few years ago.</p> <p>Hope this works together - what do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Top: Eileen Fishser<br />Trousers: Attitude by Jay Manuel<br />Belt &amp; Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Bracelet: gift</p>
