I think you look very chic in this ensemble. Love the Doc Martins too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778740 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:16:48 +0000 rachylou 778740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of the ball park! The tight color palette is really strong with the unusual pattern of your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778734 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:05:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 778734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p>Claire - the different buttons is one of the things I like most about this jacket. It makes it so much more unique.</p> <p>Nadya - I agree that the jacket does border on being too long with dress/skirts but it's got good shape to it and although you can't tell, the back is slightly shorter than the front and has a slight corset detail which pulls the waist in. </p> <p>Day Vies - I know my midi length dresses and skirts aren't everyone's fave but I'm enjoying the slightly different silhouette for now so you'll have to put up with a few outfits like this - lol!</p> <p>Momo - wow! Thank you - that's very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778712 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:21:14 +0000 N-Marie 778712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that jacket, and it does a great job of breaking up the pattern a bit to make it more casual. Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778699 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:10:00 +0000 JulieJohn 778699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a playful outfit, yet very chic! Mauve could be the new taupe, the way you rock it! I love the buttons on that jacket, and your dress looks great. Good show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778689 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:03:36 +0000 momo 778689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at your wiw posts is one of the reasons i came out of lurkdom; i am inspired by your choices and i am thrilled to see a blogger / poster with a similar height and body size.

I of course love the bag I think I would like the shoes with this dress better if the dress were at or above the knee. Otherwise this is a true inspiration and it gives me ideas on how to tone down graphic prints. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778614 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:43:00 +0000 Sylvie 778614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! It works. You look so happy. Just goes to show that beautiful accessories can really make the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778597 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:23:28 +0000 lyn67 778597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And....it totally shows!!!<br /> (the happiness factor off the scale and DH's great sense of style:-))<br /> Best outfit ever, Shanon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778545 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:22:56 +0000 Sona 778545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great colors. and that dress is fab on you darling TS!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778537 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:08:18 +0000 Anonymous 778537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great example where each piece is a star, but they work together so well. I can see why you love this outfit. And isn't mauve a neutral? If not it should be for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778534 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:05:23 +0000 Suz 778534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think when the jacket has enough waist definition, it works just fine with a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778531 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:03:19 +0000 Nadya 778531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a pretty outfit! I wasn't sure about the length of the jacket until you said your happiness factor was off the charts, and then I knew it was perfect :-). (Sometimes I think like a shorter jacket with dresses, but I recently broke that "rule" myself and it was one of MY favorite outfits!)</p> <p>If we ever meet in person, please don't bring that purse. I'll be very tempted to run off with it and make its spectator adorableness mine all mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778522 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:55:31 +0000 Sara L. 778522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love the black and white with the colored jacket. That's one of my favorite combos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778520 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:54:31 +0000 Jenava 778520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to click when I read "mauve leather"! I love that the jacket softens the black and white theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778502 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:29:41 +0000 Anonymous 778502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great, Shannon.

You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778484 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:47:51 +0000 Suz 778484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is so distinctive, Shannon. I had been thinking of it lately and wondering when we might see it next! Yay!!! </p> <p>So glad you have a happy outfit to wear today. The dress is gorgeous, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778479 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:44:07 +0000 Anonymous 778479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I'm glad to see you've pulled out the mauve jacket and given it some love. I like the pairing with the black and white. I didn't realize its buttons were all different, how cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-with-mauve-leather#post-778449 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:33:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 778449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit started with my mauve leather jacket that DH bought me for my birthday last year. I love this jacket with all its quirky details and always look forward to wearing it.</p> <p>I've paired it with my black and white tiered dress, added black micro fishnets and my Doc Sara oxfords. My handbag is my black and cream colour blocked leather bag. My only jewelry is my silver Haida wedding band.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this work? proportions ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Not to influence your critique at all but this is one of my all time favourite outfits - happiness factor? Off the scale.</p> <p>Leather jacket: Danier Leather<br /> Dress: Cleo Petites<br /> Fishnets: Hue<br /> Shoes: Doc Martens<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
