Why? Sheer tan&nbsp;knee highs, anyone? I cannot get bored of your looks Shannon, either! This one is another hit!

I really like the high vamped shoes with a bit of skin and the juxtaposed hemlines.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467443 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:12:14 +0000 kkards 1467443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot, my only suggestion might be to try cuffing the pants, With those booties, I think I'd like to see more skin.</p> <p>Hmmmm, not sure why this find attached itself to this post, please ignore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467389 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 23:46:05 +0000 catgirl 1467389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel like your stuff is repetitive at all! Keep posting. I've seen lots of new additions in your posts (maybe because I've been gone?). Love this outfit with the drape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467368 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 23:04:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1467368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Appreciate your keen eye Aida - I like the "disconnect" between the hem of the tank and the straight hem of the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467281 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:47:41 +0000 Aida 1467281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top and jacket work quite nicely together; quite like the interesting hemline peeking out from beneath a corporate blazer. The interesting shape of the bootie front adds a little more extra hemline-type interest, too. I don't find the pants would need to be necessarily sleek; these work, and a sleeker pant would also work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467066 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:49:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1467066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - hmmmm....interesting...so you think the jacket and tank work ok together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1467045 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:32:54 +0000 Angie 1467045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another killer look. Loving the drapey hem peeking out from &nbsp;under the jacket. Cargoes are a great juxtaposition, and the sliver on foot skin is delish.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466987 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 13:59:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1466987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaaahhhhhh...the power of the YLF wisdom I think you're all onto something here. I think in theory the outfit works, but not quite in practice. Because of the "showy" hemline of the tank, I think the pants need to be sleeker and without the hip pockets that these cargo pants have. I'm going to try the tank/jacket combo again with my slim leg black EF pants and a more delicate shoe and see if that works.</p> <p>Thanks for your keen eyes ladies! </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Cross posted with you Sara! Yep, there's something about the combination that isn't quite working and this is why I adore feedback - it's how I learn. Thank you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466984 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 13:57:42 +0000 Sara L. 1466984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just to want to start off with I think this outfit is fine.&nbsp; You look perfectly acceptable.&nbsp;However, I agree with others that it's not my favorite and I think it has something to do with the&nbsp;tank and the blazer.&nbsp; I think the outfit would look good without the blazer for a more casual&nbsp;weekend look.&nbsp;&nbsp;I really like the neutral colors and I enjoy seeing you remix your pieces.&nbsp; I'm constantly remixing and enjoy seeing how others work with their&nbsp;wardrobes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466977 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 13:36:21 +0000 Anonymous 1466977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool tank, great jacket....and I think it would look even more interesting and play up the hem of the top if the bottom (pants, skirt, ) were more fitted/sleeker. &nbsp;There is something about the top against the pants that is throwing me off.&nbsp;&nbsp;I love the top underneath the jacket so - ponte slim pants, tube skirt, something like that? &nbsp;Hey, now we all need an olive green tube skirt, now that would be cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466946 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 12:26:10 +0000 missvee 1466946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, well I love the top and jacket together and agree that it's a nice mix of soft plus structure. I'm wondering if another option might be to pair them with a simple slim pant, black or small pattern maybe.<br /> The clutch and jewelry are perfect finishing touches.<br /> I'm a serial repeater myself so I appreciate your remixes very much :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466935 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 12:04:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1466935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of this a lot Shannon, but to be perfectly honest I'm not crazy about the way the two hemlines work together.&nbsp; The tank seems to curvy for the more angular jacket.&nbsp; I think Cheryle is on to something... if you did semi-tuck the top, it might alleviate what I'm seeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466926 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 11:40:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1466926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheryle - just to clarify the top is completely untucked here. This is the natural shape of the hemline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466921 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 11:32:01 +0000 Deborah 1466921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to my world lol. I never get sick of such impeccable style:). Repeat away...I'm loving it </p> <p>I think this definitely works. I love the strict blazer and the unstructured top combo and the necklace is just perfect here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466919 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 11:31:33 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1466919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, we must be developing a psychic connection. &nbsp;I am sitting here putting together my outfit and had olive cargo pants, an off white top, and a jacket that would likely be black in the plan.</p> <p>I think the outfit works but would also like to see it with the top tucked a bit more across the front so it drapes at the sides and also untucked completely under the jacket. &nbsp;Nice look. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-grey-olive#post-1466915 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 11:21:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1466915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figured you must all be getting quite sick and tired of seeing my same items over and over - such is the reality of a small wardrobe But today I pulled out a summer tank I purchased last year to add to some of my old favourite pieces and added a bit of jewelry to spruce things up a bit.</p> <p>My outfit started with my dark green olive cargo pants to which I added my light grey oh-so-soft and comfy drapey asymmetrical tank. This top has the coolest hemline that's curved and asymmetrical. I then reined in the volume of the tank and "corporate-ized" the outfit with my trusty black blazer. For footwear I went with my ancient Clarks shooties (bare footed but I have my Chelsea boots in my bag to take to work because it's supposed to snow later in the day).</p> <p>Accessories include my black patent clutch - the sharp angles give the outfit more structure - my 50th birthday long silver pendant, a chunky gunmetal cuff, red specs and red lipstick.&nbsp;</p> <p>Over to you fine ladies - what do you think? Do the tank and blazer work together? I kind of like how the hem of the tank peeks out here and there underneath the blazer - or does it look off? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blazer: Nygard<br />Tank: Eileen Fisher (eBay)<br />Pants: Ricki's<br />Shoes: Clarks<br />Clutch: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
