And love how it looks unbuttoned and sleeves scrunched (ok that's in my head but I can totally see it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing/page/2#post-610403 Wed, 02 May 2012 17:10:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 610403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - I think the world around me has stopped trying to get it and I think I've stopped trying to make them get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610363 Wed, 02 May 2012 16:27:11 +0000 Anonymous 610363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally love it but this is the kind of thing that I never do, because I know the " world around me" will not get it. For that reason, you are my inspiration of the day, Shannon. I just realized I care too much as to what people think. I just had a mini ephiphany. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610339 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:55:56 +0000 MsMary 610339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin = wise beyond her years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610338 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:55:20 +0000 Jonesy 610338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he, Kristin is awesome! "Got it going on" is a fab compliment :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610334 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:53:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 610334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy/Manidipa/MNsara - this is so interesting to me. I just undid the jacket, scrunched up the sleeves and walked out into our reception area, where my dear friend/photog Kristin sits. She took one look at me and said "ok...you looked great this morning with the jacket done up and now you just look uber cool and relaxed, like you know you've got it going on but you're not obvious about it".</p> <p>I thought that was very interesting - keep these fab suggestions coming ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610327 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:49:38 +0000 Meredith1953 610327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*LOVE*! You really hooked me with the polka dot shoes to bookend the jacket! Wowza! You are one styling lady!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610326 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:48:43 +0000 rae 610326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squee! Now that's how to do matchy-matchy shoes and jacket! Lots of verve in this outfit, Shannon, and that's a good thing in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610321 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:45:10 +0000 Jonesy 610321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unbuttoning the jacket makes it even better! Did you try cuffing/scrunching the sleeves too :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610317 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:43:21 +0000 kellygirl 610317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!

This is definitely an 11 on every scale I can think of!! LOVE!!</p> <p>And how about this:</p> <p>CW: Wow! That's bright!<br /> TS: I KNOW, RIGHT??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610295 Wed, 02 May 2012 15:25:05 +0000 Anonymous 610295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squeeeeeeee! I love this Shannon! Look out, pattern mixing is seriously addicting. It makes me very happy too, and happy to see this on you. And you managed to have matching shoes? Amazing! I think your black and white bag is the perfect grounding element, and I find myself leaving off any significant jewelry when pattern mixing too. You look super-fabalicious! Woot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610243 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:54:38 +0000 Tanya 610243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Shannon! Bold and striking, and you pull it of beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610240 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:51:48 +0000 MNsara 610240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ARE so fun and stylish today!! It does go right along with your smile and energy, like Rute said ^^</p> <p>Your CW comments sound rather tame. Are they getting accustomed to your stylish surprises?</p> <p>Did you try unbuttoning the jacket to get a column of dark? I'd like to see that too -- if you're up to an extra picture. . . ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610225 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:36:00 +0000 rute 610225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

And even more impressed that you were so brave!</p> <p>You pull this off to perfection and look every bit cool, retro and lady-like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610218 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:30:55 +0000 Jem 610218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A problem? What problem... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610217 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:29:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 610217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are great to help calm a gal's nerves! I must say I do feel like I'm "standing out" in this one - definitely no hiding in the background! I had to laugh at hubby this morning as we were getting ready to leave the house - "You're very bright today. We certainly wouldn't lose you in a snowstorm" (lol)!</p> <p>Jem - yes, the green shoes would also work. Have I mentioned I love shoes? I believe you have that same problem!</p> <p>Rita - so far I've had "you're brave" and "I can't get my eyes to adjust to that". My response to both has been "I'm trying the new pattern mixing trend - I'm liking it". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610213 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:23:25 +0000 modgrl 610213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much fun!!! </p> <p>Did you practice your work script yet? </p> <p>CW: You're kinda bright<br /> TS: I'm wearing color to brighten a dreary day</p> <p>CW: You're wearing a lot of patterns<br /> TS: I know, isn't it great?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610207 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:14:55 +0000 Jem 610207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for pattern mixing! I'm glad Angie suggested that combination because I LOVE It! I'm glad you were feeling brave because you look amazing! Your new shoes are adorable, too! They are even cuter on than I expected! Would your green shoes work, too? So many cute combinations! This is a fab one, for sure!</p> <p>ETA: that's a great purse, too! It is the perfect finishing touch! (note to self: get some new purses--in June) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610206 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:13:07 +0000 Ana 610206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is so cute, Shannon! I love the shoes and the pattern mixing. Bright, fun outfit! You look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610205 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:09:33 +0000 Jilly 610205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's suggestion was right on the money! I would have been too scared to mix a bright red jacket with the dress, but it totally works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610197 Wed, 02 May 2012 14:04:22 +0000 Sara L. 610197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love the matching polka-dot shoes! I want, want, want those shoes. I'm still adjusting to advanced pattern mixing but I think this looks really good. I really like florals with polka-dots or stripes lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610146 Wed, 02 May 2012 12:42:04 +0000 jayne 610146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are a brave one! I love the bright colors! great for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610143 Wed, 02 May 2012 12:36:21 +0000 Deborah 610143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was on my way to bed but had to log in to say how fabulous this looks Shannon. I have no idea how this works, but it does:). I do think the colors flow beautifully between the dress, jacket and shoes (those shoes!! Love!) and I think the proportions here are excellent. I bet you got some smiles today at work. A+ for advanced pattern mixing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610139 Wed, 02 May 2012 12:31:36 +0000 Jaime 610139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't begin to explain the whys or hows, but this works beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bold-pattern-mixing#post-610121 Wed, 02 May 2012 11:55:43 +0000 Sona 610121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very cool advanced pattern mix. LOVE. and of course the fact that it is 11/10 on the happiness scale makes it a hands down no questios asked winner!! </p>
