It's such a contrast of strait-laced ladies who lunch and the casual cool factor of jeans it always works to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1349224 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 15:50:34 +0000 Angie 1349224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>Super Chic. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1349155 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 14:27:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1349155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I felt comfortable and appropriate for all my errands yesterday. Although I was exhausted by the time I finished!</p> <p>Frannie - thank you so much. What a lovely compliment.</p> <p>Lisa - I will toughen up the look later in the season with my Docs although I'm not sure the dark boots will work as well with the light jacket, you know?</p> <p>Lynnski - I guess it works because I didn't let the "sweetness" take over the outfit. I made sure to add a healthy dose of "urban" with the semi tucked drapey tee, the scrunched sleeves and the shoes. If I had worn the cardigan with a blouse, pencil skirt and pumps, it would have a completely different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348982 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 04:10:15 +0000 Anonymous 1348982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you don't have a frumpy piece in your closet. This looks neat and crisp.

But I'd love to hear tips/ thoughts about HOW you made such a potentially matronly item look so cool. I have a similar cardigan, and I love it but don't quite know how to pull of a chic look without the Frump. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348909 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:14:20 +0000 Jaime 1348909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No frump at all.

You look so classy and chic in this outfit. It's very <i>you</i>. Your shoes bring a level of urban cool to the outfit, as does the super casual tee. This is just how to wear a Chanel-style jacket without looking too-too whatever (too too hip, too too old school, too too trying to be French, too too someone else). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348683 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 18:56:27 +0000 Anonymous 1348683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

In fact, you just helped me figure out something I could&nbsp;wear today. Maybe.&nbsp;It won't look half so fab--what a jacket that is! Definitely de-frumped.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348613 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 16:16:06 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1348613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It came out perfectly, and wouldn't be half so good if you didn't have those cream oxfords in the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348599 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 15:50:08 +0000 frannieb 1348599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doesn't look frump to me. A great casual outfit.<br /> I love your style overall and have spent time looking at what you wear to work as I redefine my work style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-chanel-esque#post-1348579 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 15:12:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1348579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy weekend all :)</p> <p>I have a day full of running around and it's a little cool outside...what to wear, what to wear....ooohhhh I know - that Chanel-esque sweater I bought as a late spring refresher and didn't wear because it then got too hot.</p> <p>I started with my fave jeans - Ralph Lauren slim BF's and added my taupe snakeskin belt. I then chose my drapey white tee semi tucked and topped that with the grey/cream textured knit sweater. I loved this sweater the moment I tried it on - it's incredibly soft but has structure and I adore the cream trim, pockets and gold buttons. It speaks to the retro lover in me. </p> <p>The pick up the cream trim in the sweater and mimic the texture of the waffle weave, I chose my cream laser cut oxfords for shoes. I finished off the outfit with my taupe/silver wrap watch, silver wedding band, red snakeskin wallet clutch and red specs.</p> <p>Ready for the day ahead - what do you think? Have I removed any possible frump factor out of the cardigan?</p> <p>Cardigan: Dex<br /> Tee: Joe Fresh<br /> Jeans: Ralph Lauren<br /> Belt: Olsen Europe (thrifted)<br /> Shoes: Dolce Vita<br /> Clutch: Danier Leather<br /> Watch: Fossil (eBay) </p>
