I have tried my burgundy booties with different things and the skirt length seems critical to pulling it off, for my short chubby self. I think knee length shows the curve of the leg and keeps me from looking chopped off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-733031 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 23:18:08 +0000 rae 733031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another gorgeous outfit! I really like the low contrast between the blacks, blues, and purple. So moody and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-733029 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 23:13:57 +0000 soobee 733029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>W.O.W. This is your best yet. I just can't get over the zipper on your bag matching the booties. W.O.W. This is so figure flattering, chic, modern, stunning. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-733000 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:55:03 +0000 Caro in Oz 733000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732692 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 17:43:41 +0000 Sylvie 732692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get over how well you put outfits together. This is playful, practical, and just so very you. It makes me think that you always had a good sense of style, but maybe only needed YLF to help point you in the direction of a few more places to shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732681 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 17:33:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 732681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una - but just to clarify, it's not a dress - it's a separate top and skirt.

I really how you look in this combo. The blue shoes are very fun with the skirt. Initially, I thought it was the pencil skirt that was throwing me, but you are pulling it off so well. Maybe I just need to adjust my eye to it on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732427 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:20:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 732427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit - the blacks do photograph as different but I think that's because the top has a bit of sheen. Looking at them IRL in the light, they are almost exactly the same.</p> <p>Shiny - would love to give you the link for this clutch but they don't have it anymore on the website. I got it at Nordstrom in January - it's Trouve. I remember someone on the forum (sorry - can't remember who it was) saying they saw it in the store though so if you have a Nordie's close to you, it might be worth checking out.</p> <p>Suz - I tried the top on under a jacket and this one works just fine (yippee!). I find it depends on how much fabric there is under the arm. This one isn't too excessive and the fabric isn't thick so it works.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your lovely words ramya, krishnidoux, Jen, Ann, Laren and Shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732425 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:16:30 +0000 Anonymous 732425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I have a dolman sweater very similar to Shannon's that I wore last week with my denim moto on top. It didn't affect the sleeves or anything, it was fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732420 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:11:00 +0000 Jaime 732420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ho hum, another super fabulous, amazing outfit from Shannon. I love your outfits and they are a never ending source of inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732416 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:07:01 +0000 Laurenlaurielala 732416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool bag. You look funky but understated. I love your boots and your hemline. Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732408 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:55:44 +0000 Suz 732408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Shannon - you are at the top of your game here! LOVE those booties and now feel myself lusting after a pair! The skirt is terrific. The top is a great silhouette. And the bag and cuff, with their similar textures....so fab. </p> <p>Question: Can you wear this top with a jacket as well? I always wonder how dolman sleeves work if one also wants a topper? Does it feel weird or okay? Or do we just limit wearing those tops to times when we don't need a topper? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732389 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:33:11 +0000 shiny 732389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Love! And I have similar blue suede booties. And a similar shaped color block dress (with different colors). Think I will wear them today and be your twin!</p> <p>LOVE LOVE LOVE that bag. Link? I may need a bag JUST like that... if you don't mind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732386 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:27:54 +0000 Anonymous 732386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Shannon! On my screen the blacks have very different tones, but if I pretend the skirt is charcoal then it works Booties look really cute with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732384 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:25:14 +0000 Ann in New England 732384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you do that so well?? I'm in awe.

Wow! You look so good in this, and the bracelet is just the PERFECT little add-on to bring the whole outfit to another level. Booties make it ultra cool. I love this silhouette on you, so you. And when I saw the envelope clutch! OMG. Sublime. This is such a harmonious outfit both in colours and in structure.</p> <p>BTW the cowl doesn't look too low in these, but I understand you wore a cami as a protection especially for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732364 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:37:10 +0000 ramya 732364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phenomenal.. I love that top shannon.. this is so perfect for skirts that are a little tight ...<br /> I must keep a lookout for similar ones... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-purple-booties#post-732362 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 11:28:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 732362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is the maiden voyage of this Jones New York skirt I bought at Sears a couple of weeks ago. It's a simple lined black pencil skirt but with a strip of cobalt blue at the bottom. I've paired it with a black jersey knit, cowl neck, dolman sleeve, zippered shoulder top that has ruching on each hip and absolutely lovely draping. I love the way this top feels on and how it hides any imperfections. Because the cowl is a little low for work, I've popped a cami underneath. For footwear, I decided to wear my blue-purple Play Aerosole booties (an Angie recommendation last fall) for just another shot of colour. For handbag, it made perfect sense to use my yellow &amp; cobalt snakeskin clutch. Jewelry is a simple gold mesh bangle.</p> <p>I know booties with skirts/dresses on shorties like me isn't to everyone's taste but it's definitely my favourite footwear combination. </p> <p>What do you think? Colours and proportions work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Top: Lori Michael Collection (Winner's)<br /> Skirt: Jones New York (Sears)<br /> Booties: Aerosole<br /> Handbag: Trouve<br /> Bangle: Michael Kors<br /> Nude microfishnets: Hue </p>
