Your energy and positive attitude just burst through the screen. I LOVE this weekend outfit. I hope I can bring the same sense of fun to my weekend wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607237 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:12:29 +0000 Mellllls 607237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love those pops of orange!! i think once you have the right pieces dressing stylishly is less effort than gear type outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607231 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:10:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 607231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise - actually poor Transcona is a part of Winnipeg that is the butt of many jokes. It is a very blue collar part of town and doesn't have the biggest houses or fanciest cars. So we get called "Trashcona" all the time and things like that. It drives me crazy. It's a neighbourhood of hard working, family-oriented people. I wish the snootier neighbourhoods could get that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607202 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 14:45:40 +0000 Angie 607202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't you a stylish Canadian gal on the go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607110 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:06:47 +0000 CocoLion 607110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Canadian Tuxedo" ... you crack me up Shannon!</p> <p>I like the long graphic tee with shorter jacket and skinny jeans. You nailed it with this one.</p> <p>OT -- I wonder, is it just me or do you Transconians /Transconans get your share of Transylvannia jokes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607089 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:17:53 +0000 rae 607089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun - great use of the graphic tee here! Nice reminder, too, that dressing "nicely" does not always mean "getting dressed up." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-607009 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:29:46 +0000 Debora 607009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true!

That is...awesome! I can't get over that T-shirt! And I was just starting to call an end to buying T-shirts when... along came Shannon!</p> <p>Umm...</p> <p>Okay, now that I'm done staring --- you are SO cute! --- yay for the epiphany! I think a lot of us wish we'd known this back when we were young 'uns. Must inform the next generation, right along with basic skillet skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606942 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:18:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy - it's interesting that you comment on bringing style to my weekend wear. I struggle far more with casual looks than I do with work outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606937 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:15:40 +0000 Jem 606937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! It is casual, but still stylish! I just love your orange touches, too. That bag was a great score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606930 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:12:19 +0000 Jonesy 606930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very snappy, chic look! I love how you can bring that same polish and stylishness to your weekend wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606919 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:08:09 +0000 Kiwichik 606919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfortable &amp; stylish who could ask for more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606875 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:25:04 +0000 Suz 606875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well said!! </p> <p>And well dressed, too. </p> <p>Love your version of the Canadian tux! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606874 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:24:36 +0000 Kari 606874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well spoken! I had the same misconception when I was in college. I guess the thing is that I do spend more money on clothes and think more about getting dressed than I used to - but that's because it's become kind of a hobby and I'm interested in style. I can dress stylishly (and comfortably) with ease, though. Lately I've been falling back on easy outfits that look polished without having to put a lot of thought into it- which is why I'm wearing so many dresses lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606867 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:17:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the lovely comments ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606843 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:00:41 +0000 soobee 606843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love the juicy orange bag, and thrifted! The jacket too?!!! Outstanding! Your commentary rings true with me also, plus, it's just so much fun, isn't it!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606841 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:59:29 +0000 Jaime 606841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new jacket on you. The fit looks perfect. The orange shoes and bag are great too. What you say about getting dressed in nice clothes is so true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606833 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:51:23 +0000 san 606833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You said it so well Shannon!!! You look fantastic, and ready for your day of running errands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606820 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:38:42 +0000 nicoleb 606820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pops of orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606804 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:15:16 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 606804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great errand running outfit Shannon.</p> <p>I think if your closet is well organized, dressing well is easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606799 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:11:56 +0000 lyn* 606799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Shannon! I must admit, I was getting a little scared when I read the title (lol; have you heard it called the Transcona Tuxedo? :p) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606774 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 23:01:15 +0000 christieanne 606774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't agree more! I actually went through my "gear" and got rid of the stuff I would be frankly embarrassed to be seen in (you know, running into old boyfriend or your boss) and that helped me a lot. I put my left over "good" gear for exercise or gardening or washing the cars in a very intentional spot so it's not as easy to grab. </p> <p>What a fun look! I like the orange pops of color and the printed t. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606750 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:26:37 +0000 Parsley 606750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute and fun-looking outfit, Shannon!<br /> This is a million times cooler than baggy jeans and a fleece, but you're so right: it's not any more trouble or less comfortable to choose something like this.<br /> You look great as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606745 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:21:59 +0000 JennyAnne 606745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I think you nailed the commentary, too. For me, the big suprise is taht I can look great but still casual enough for my life. The orange is making me swoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606726 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:00:18 +0000 Deborah 606726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool revelation Shannon. In fact I think dressing well and having a good functionable wardrobe is actually less effort in the long term. I spend less time dressing in the mornings and less time stressing over not having the pieces I don't have... cos I do have them and generally everything works well together :)</p> <p>Fab weekend outfit. I really like the graphic t. The pop of color is lovely. You look casual, but still very well put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-canadian-tuxedo#post-606722 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:50:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had a full day of running around today so went purely for comfort. I'm wearing dark skinny jeans, grey graphic tee, dark wash light denim jacket and pops of orange with my flats and my handbag.</p> <p>What I found interesting when I was getting dressed this morning is that I used to think dressing nicely was 1) more work and 2) more expensive than dressing "any old way". But putting on nice fitting jeans, visually interesting t-shirt, nice fitting and on trend jacket, with comfortable but colourful footwear and a pretty handbag takes no more effort nor money than putting on baggy jeans, sloppy tee, over sized fleece and flip flops. </p> <p>As always, all comments/ suggestions welcome:</p> <p>Jacket: Esprit (recently thrifted - very light weight denim, will be great for summer)<br /> Tee: Old Navy<br /> Jeans: Warehouse One Premium dark wash skinnies<br /> Shoes: Born<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
