Luv the olive and black together. That $5 jacket was an awesome find. I look forward to seeing your remixes with it. Looks like snake is the new camouflage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1014335 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 00:45:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1014335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh try it RunnerChick - I absolutely love black and olive together.

This is such a great idea for accessorizing a black dress, and I am tempted to try a copy cat. I have a Karen Kane long sleeved black dress and an urban outfitters' olive twill moto. The final effect will look different, I think,&nbsp;because the pieces are different, and I do not have the cool shoes or bag....&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1014308 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 00:17:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1014308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm chuckling to myself about how much y'all are liking my $5 thrift store Miley jacket!

So sophisticated and modern with the military jacket (Miley Cyrus - seriously??)

Have I seen you in olive before? Looks fab with black and cream against your skin tone, Shannon. Adding in the snake skin is a stroke of olive genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1014248 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:25:27 +0000 lyn* 1014248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!!!

But it's a heck of a lot better than mine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love seeing the Vogs come out to play!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013851 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:33:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1013851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - I would love to find a long sleeved black v-neck sheath style dress for winter. It would be nice to have one that wouldn't require layering with a jacket (since this one is sleeveless).</p> <p>Ingunn - I'm glad the bag lightens the outfit. I was worried that the black and olive may be a bit dark.</p> <p>Mochi - believe me, nobody was as surprised as me when I fell in love with a Miley Cyrus item! In fact, I was almost embarrassed to admit that's whose clothing line this is from. But hey...leave no stone unturned right?</p> <p>Thank you Ceit, Joy, Nancylee and Shevia&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013849 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:32:42 +0000 Jaime 1013849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great combination and great shoes from Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013832 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 13:07:16 +0000 nancylee 1013832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very chic look. &nbsp;LOVE that olive military jacket on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>(Yay for fall weather!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013805 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:14:28 +0000 Anonymous 1013805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful on you and perfect for late summer. I agree about the black sheath dress workhorse. How cheeky is that double breasted military jacket worn open! And the fab shoes and bag are modern and lady-like. You have a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013796 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:59:23 +0000 Mochi 1013796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. This has to be in the top three favorite outfits of yours, Shannon. Or maybe it's particularly one of your outfits I'd most want to duplicate for myself? I love this. Love the sexy, slightly boyish color palette. Love the silhouette and the military jacket (and I'm not surprised Miley C. has a clothing line, but that I'd really like something from it). The bag just goes especially great with this in an unexpected way. It's such an awesome, flattering outfit. I'm gonna favorite this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013793 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:53:53 +0000 Ingunn 1013793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very happy with how all this looks together, too! This is truly effortless chic. The palette is really appropriate, and I love how the shoes and bag add light and texture.&nbsp;Great job, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013790 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:43:42 +0000 Anonymous 1013790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013789 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:38:20 +0000 Deborah 1013789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way those shoes work in this outfit. I agree about having a good black dress that works for you, that is something I couldn't do without. The simplicity and ease of this outfit are what make it so fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-olive#post-1013786 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:31:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1013786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though it was very hot yesterday, the air had the slight scent of autumn and there are a few leaves falling off the trees already. So my outfit today is a wee nod to late summer in terms of the colour palette.</p> <p>I started my outfit today with my trusty black sheath dress (I can't imagine EVER having a wardrobe without one) to which I added my military-inspired olive green cotton jacket. I love the asymmetrical style and brass details of this jacket. For footwear, I chose the two-tone olive Fluevog pumps so kindly gifted to me from Suz. They are a fabulous combination of adding colour through footwear while still working as a neutral. And for my handbag, I went with my snakeskin cream/olive/taupe satchel (from last year's NAS)&nbsp;and I'm wearing my gold mesh bangle and gold wedding band for jewelry.</p> <p>I'm happy with how this all looks together - what do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: Miley Cyrus (thrifted)<br />Dress: Banana Republic<br />Shoes: John Fluevog<br />Handbag: Elliott Lucca<br />Bangle: Michael Kors </p>
