This looks really great on you Shannon - very figure flattering and elongating which seems funny since it has horizontal stripes. Just goes to show me I gotta try things on. Nude sandals would work here too wouldn't they? I'm just not sure I'm sold on white yet. Gotta see what you find I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944680 Thu, 30 May 2013 12:32:39 +0000 amiable 944680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely beautiful! &nbsp;I hear you on the white sandals. &nbsp;I'm considering buying some leather paint and giving a try to painting some other pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944649 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:07:02 +0000 krishnidoux 944649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if you need white sandals but the ones you are wearing here are perfect with this gorgeous dress!

It looks fab on you and will probably be a FFB all summer. The white denim jacket looks great with it. You need light sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944292 Wed, 29 May 2013 22:18:30 +0000 Karie 944292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fantastic, and I love it with the black and white accessories. Hopefully you will be more successful at your white sandal shopping than I was at my nude pumps shopping - after about 100 pairs, I gave up (for now) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944284 Wed, 29 May 2013 22:11:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 944284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF &amp; so would white sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944274 Wed, 29 May 2013 22:00:20 +0000 dlb1960 944274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhhh!

I love those, Marcy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>ALL</b> the stylish ones are super expensive. And all the less expensive ones are either uncomfortable or old-lady. She said, grumpily.&nbsp;</p> <p>I might revert to a pair of white pumps like Angie's. Those, I can find.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-944019 Wed, 29 May 2013 15:35:09 +0000 Parsley 944019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in this outfit, Shannon!<br /> It's hard to say whether you "need" white sandals, but I'm sure you'd enjoy them and look fab.<br /> I have to show you what I have on my Pinterest board right now. If it weren't for the astronomical price they <u>would</u> be mine. They'd be great on you.

Are you able to add any sort of insole or padding to help them fit better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943925 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:23:47 +0000 Suz 943925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dislike them because they are too large for me (they didn't come in half sizes, alas) and too clunky. I like how they look from the front, but not the side. And while the footbed is pretty comfortable, the comfort factor reduces when you're sliding around in them. Ugh. So I want sandal that sort of straddles the line between casual and dressy and is white. Hmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943923 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:17:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 943923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit - always appreciate your enabling :)</p> <p>Shevia - Cleo Petite is definitely my "go to" store and yet there's really only about 30% of items in there that I like. They do unfortunately carry a lot of frumpy and "old lady" clothing.</p> <p>Tracey - thank you!</p> <p>Suz - oh no! You detest your gold Clarks? Why - they look great on you? I've done a bit of looking for white and you aren't kidding. It's like looking for the Holy Grail. I'll let you know if I come across anything. And DUH...I didn't even think of the DV oxfords...what a dunce! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943920 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:09:11 +0000 Suz 943920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great, easy dress. Love it on you, Shannon. Looks easy to dress down, too, for casual weekend stuff.&nbsp;</p> <p>White sandals, white sandals. ARGH!!! I have been online looking (and in stores, trying) ever since I decided that I detest my new "gold" Clarks sandals and I need white instead!! I haven't found a single stylish option that I like and that is comfortable yet. I have found a few stylish ones that hurt, and a few unstylish ones.&nbsp;</p> <p>You could wear this with your DV oxfords, no?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943887 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:42:07 +0000 TraceyLiz65 943887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sandals here, but white would offer you versatility! &nbsp;Love this entire look on you, great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943885 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:39:19 +0000 Jaime 943885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress on you! Love! I am beginning to think that Cleo Petite is&nbsp;your cover name for the magic fairy that grants your clothes wishes. Am completely in favor of your white additions and will support you in white sandal hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943882 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:36:45 +0000 Anonymous 943882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress! I love the shape of it. I think you should investigate white sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-stripes#post-943880 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:30:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 943880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress that I found at Cleo Petite several weeks back. I'm not normally a huge fan of the elasticized waist on short, high-waisted me but I think the overall slim fit of the dress balances that out and it works on this one. I did swap out the skinny black belt that came with the dress and am wearing my thicker black leather belt with gunmetal buckle. I also like the longer length of this dress and the wide shoulders - no fear of bra strap showing.</p> <p>I've topped the dress with my white denim jacket and added my light cream satchel for my pops of white that I am craving these days. Footwear are my trusty old Clarks sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>I originally had on my white leather belt with the dress which I really liked but then the dark sandals looked out of place. I then tried my new Blondo sandals but the brown was just wrong with these colours. This has me wondering if I need white sandals? Jewelry is my chrome/white bangle watch.</p> <p>So what do you think of this outfit? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: BUM Equipment (thrifted)<br />Dress: Cleo Petite<br />Sandals: Clarks<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Watch: thrifted </p>
