But Angie has spoken, so, uh never mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693815 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:50:03 +0000 pil 693815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, all I know is I want to look like you when I grow up. Stylistically that is. I've already got you beat chronologically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693637 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 18:01:38 +0000 Sona 693637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yum. I'm loving the dressed down dress and fab accessorizing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693631 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:58:55 +0000 catgirl 693631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great! I wish I could wear jean jackets with your panache! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693551 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:12:55 +0000 KathyL 693551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is amazing on you and I think the proportions look great. I will be in the minority, but I'm not loving the faded denim with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693536 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:54:50 +0000 rae 693536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No reason to doubt yourself - this outfit is great! I love how the denim sort of bookends the nude shoes. I don't think the bag is too heavy because of the cream. A different bag would *also* look good, if you want to mix it up some more next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693499 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:25:39 +0000 Angie 693499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693491 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:20:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 693491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if it looks too "heavy" with the outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693486 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:16:16 +0000 Angie 693486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the handbag with this outfit. Do you want to swap it out, Shannon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693472 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:54:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 693472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you swap out the handbag Angie? Just curious what your thoughts are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693454 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:40:49 +0000 Angie 693454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. It looks as good irl as it did in your head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693424 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:45:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 693424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - and I think you're right - it's the handbag that's throwing it off. Too dark I think. I was trying to "lighten" up the overall look with the faded jacket and nude shoe but then the dark handbag sticks out like a sore thumb! Thanks for your observations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693417 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:25:27 +0000 Anonymous 693417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Wear with confidence, as you look very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693412 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:12:36 +0000 Anonymous 693412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this totally works, even if your other combination with this dress is your favorite. Your darker denim jacket would look good with this too. I still can't believe how well this faded one fits you, and it was thrifted. Amazing! You look great today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693394 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:43:08 +0000 Krista 693394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fabulous (as per usual) but I'm wondering - is it the tone of the denim that is throwing you off? The teal tone in the dress is pretty deep and maybe it is not "jiving" with the tone of the faded denim. The white denim jacket would have popped against the colors of the dress... I am just suggesting it because you mentioned you thought it looked better in your head!</p> <p>In any case, I still think it looks great and it works - especially the proportions. You really know how to dress your body type! I return to work next week after summer holidays and I am keeping note of your outfits as inspiration! :)</p> <p>ETA: A few others posted about your handbag and I agree - maybe too structured for the relaxed look of the denim? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693392 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:41:11 +0000 nicoleb 693392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well i really like the whole she-bang! You look awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693388 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:39:38 +0000 Kirti 693388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit,but I'd go with a different bag maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693387 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 693387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Shannon, I almost wore mine today! Looks good like that, makes it more summery. I think a lighter bag would go better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693365 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:13:43 +0000 sarah 693365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Sighing* with pleasure at seeing that dress again...</p> <p>YES, it totally works. I think that the proportions are terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693353 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:50:31 +0000 ramya 693353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works works works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693351 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:31:57 +0000 rute 693351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course it works! Lovely dress! Love the choice of nude shoes and denin jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693350 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:31:54 +0000 April 693350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I love this dress on you -- to my eye, the angles of the print are very flattering.</p> <p>I think you got the length of the jacket right, and overall this is a good look. What is it about the outift that seems disappointing to you? </p> <p>Maybe a matchy-matchy nude bag would help pull things together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-green-and-some-faded-denim#post-693348 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:27:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 693348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm.....I wonder if this looked better in my head...last time I wore this dress, I paired it with my white denim jacket and black sandals. But today I felt like mixing it up a bit and instead paired it with my faded denim jacket and neutral peep-toe booties. </p> <p>Does this work? How are the colours and proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: thrifted<br /> Dress: Cleo Petites<br /> Shoes: Boutique 9<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)<br /> Watch: Gucci (thrifted0 </p>
