I especially love this without the jacket, because you look so trim and fresh. I remember that skirt, it is so unusual and looks just great on you. Pining for your SHOES ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046813 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:32:13 +0000 Scarlet 1046813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a special skirt! So happy for you that you can wear it now. It looks amazing the way you styled it. To be very honest the bag plus the shoes is very matchy matchy at least in the photo. In the close up I see they are more distinct. I would go with your feeling on that.</p> <p>ETA: looking again at the detailed shot I think it's all brilliant--matchy-matchy-good. I love the blazer pairing, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046812 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:28:45 +0000 Anonymous 1046812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was definitely worth the wait. You look smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046797 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:57:43 +0000 ManidipaM 1046797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You better be doing that happy dance, Shannon. This is ludicrously, unspeakably perfect...I wonder how you manage to get so perfectly coordinated.</p> <p>The skirt and your hair were surely made for each other... ditto the shoes and skirt. The bag is sort of a negative of the shoes (pardon, my age is showing) and somewhere in heaven was partnered with those specs! This is a whole other class of matchy-matchy.</p> <p>Beeyootiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046766 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:12:29 +0000 kkards 1046766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, that skirt and those shoes, made for each other. i like the outfit as styled, but in my head i'm seeing it with your white leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046707 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:05:03 +0000 Beth Ann 1046707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep 'em coming, Shannon!&nbsp; I need inspiration, and I'm swear I'm going to pin this picture on your "old" and my "new" RR skirt hanging in my closet!&nbsp; You look amazing!</p> <p>All you YLFers don't know it yet, but Shannon gifted me with her larger RR skirt a couple of weeks ago.&nbsp; It fits --- kinda --- if I were a streetwalker.&nbsp; So, now I'm the one looking at it in my closet as I slip on my workout clothes in my quest for a healthier body.&nbsp; Now, I'm not taking care of myself so I can wear a certain skirt --- but seeing Shannon in hers does help motivate me to lace up my sneakers!</p> <p>The footwear is astonishingly fab!&nbsp; I checked, and I can't find them in the US.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; I love the choice of silhouette in the jacket, and I already scoped out the purple in my wardrobe as a natural pair with this amazing skirt.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046706 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:04:57 +0000 Anonymous 1046706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness!

I love it most with the tank but it's also great with the jacket. It gives me sort of a day-to-evening feeling. Work in the jacket and then shed the jacket for drinks. You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046632 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:43:12 +0000 Thistle 1046632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this skirt, and the hoes with it.&nbsp; Terrific copy cat!&nbsp; <i><b>YLF</b></i>!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046629 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:41:18 +0000 Janet 1046629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey skirt twin! You are looking fan-freaking-tastic these days, and this outfit with those shoes in particular is just great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046586 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:54:45 +0000 Angie 1046586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. With the addition of the fresh trendy&nbsp;shoes - the outfit launches me into orbit. WOW. Killer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046574 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:43:45 +0000 Susie 1046574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt! Those shoes!! LOVE!!!</p> <p>I would love to see this skirt with your leather jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046546 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:03:19 +0000 Neel 1046546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit and that skirt is a beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046541 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:59:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1046541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the comments ladies - it does indeed feel great to fit this skirt finally. I actually chose the Amber Sun jacket as a copycat to Angie's client's outfit when she debuted the Rachel Roy skirt (see pic below). I love the retro integrity of the jacket and unusual silhouette paired with this graphic black/white skirt.</p> <p>I will definitely be trying it with other toppers though so no worries - I can see it with my Lanai jacket, both my black and white leather jackets, my purple leather jacket, etc. No shortage of options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046536 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:50:19 +0000 Sona 1046536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In contrast to Suz: I love the skirt and the tank and the silhouette they create. Because the skirt reads modern to me the jacket while it works could be substituted by the lanai ( I know the look would be mostly black in that case) or a more modern cut blazer. I would play with different topper options once you get home to see if you 'feel' another topper instead. You however stepped out of the house looking tres chic Madame! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046516 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:21:04 +0000 Suz 1046516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh!! <b>LOVE</b> it!&nbsp;</p> <p>That skirt was just lurking in your closet until you had the right footwear for it! RW&amp;co to the rescue!&nbsp;</p> <p>And congratulations on your hard work with the weight loss. Isn't that a fab feeling when the clothes that mocked us from the closet&nbsp;now slide on without a hitch?&nbsp;</p> <p>Now, I must respectfully disagree with Archer. I absolutely adore this silhouette with the Amber Sun. To me, it is all kinds of wonderful. I don't know if it's the "child of the 80s" in me or if it is simply the residue of once having considered myself a pretty pear and the grass always being greener and all that -- but I positively adore a subtle IT or triangle shaped outfit, wider at shoulders and narrowing down without obvious waist definition. It's one of my favourite shapes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not to mention the fact that this jacket has a sort of retro charm that plays well against the modern skirt to my eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046514 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:19:15 +0000 Jaime 1046514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt with the shoes are fabulous but I also want to see it with a darker blazer that would continue the line of the skirt. Not that you don't look terrific as is. You do! </p> <p>ETA I also love it with just the tank!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046510 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:11:29 +0000 Archer 1046510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I haven't been around much over past few months and this is the first time I have seen a WIW from you for ages. &nbsp;You look really great. Fab legs!! The skirt and the sandals looks fab together. </p> <p>&nbsp;They look so good that I have to say I think you could look even better with a different jacket. &nbsp;I don't think it is the colour per se. &nbsp;To my eye the jacket just hits you at the wrong spot. &nbsp;You've covered up your waist line. It's a good outfit now but&nbsp;<i>I think you and it could be great. A</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-it-only-took-one-year#post-1046507 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 11:59:41 +0000 donnat 1046507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!
