I love the cognac accents. These booties look fine, cognac or darker might be slightly better but it's hard to tell because you look so fab as is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392687 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 23:52:29 +0000 shiny 1392687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also crazy for cognac these days. I prefer it with the taupe boots rather than cognac. My reasoning? I think for balance you want just TWO cognac items at a time. Three would be overkill. So if you did invest in cognac booties then you'd want to lose the cognac belt.&nbsp;</p> <p>The way you've styled it here is perfection, the booties match the top, the bag matches the belt.</p> <p>That said I DO adore cognac footwear with white jeans. If you add a new pair, then just swap out the belt! A giraffe belt? Oh my. I can picture it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392685 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 23:50:52 +0000 Zibbets 1392685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this combination, and Sharon, you look radiant in it!</p> <p>It seems like not too long ago a gorgeous metallic sweater like yours would have had to wait&nbsp;for a&nbsp;Christmas party to come out and play and then would have been packed away for another year. I LOVE that you're wearing it now and in the daytime! with fab white jeans! You look amazing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392670 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 23:14:56 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1392670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wondering if my tendency to dark today is the time change or the fact I've been in rainy Vancouver or working 12 hour days. &nbsp;Your outfit looks great but I am seeing nothing but darker outfits these days so may have reacted to the contrast. &nbsp;</p> <p>No debating that it is a great looking outfit on you SHannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392616 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:25:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1392616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker &amp; Dianthus - will try the same combination with darker boots next time for comparison. Thanks for the suggestion :)</p> <p>Lisa - isn't it funny how as soon as we see something sparkly or metallic, we think holidays? I wonder why that is...</p> <p>Tracey - I was actually off cognac for a while there but have fallen right back in love again. What I like is that it works equally well with black or white.</p> <p>Jeanne - I'll loan you my backpack and you loan me your boots and together, we'll have a full set of cognac accents!</p> <p>Deb - that so sweet of you.</p> <p>Angie - ha! How did I know you'd like this? Oh yes....the white jeans :)</p> <p>Suz - I remember when I bought this sweater - it was a late winter/early spring "refresher" piece and I kind of hemmed and hawed about buying it so late in the season. But I'm sure glad now since I've had it for 2 or 3 years and still love it.</p> <p>Elle - could I convince myself I "need" the cognac booties because the black version are so incredibly comfortable for my fussy feet??? :)</p> <p>Thanks all for your feedback. I had to laugh when I did have one person comment about me wearing my "summer" jeans - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392538 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:30:45 +0000 ElleH 1392538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with those booties &amp; cognac ones would be fab too but the outfit doesn't "need" cognac booties. Maybe you want them anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392504 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:35:18 +0000 rachylou 1392504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snazzy!

If I were you I&nbsp;would buy those chelseas(clarks) you're keeping your eyes on!

I want taller shaft cognac booties for the colder weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392374 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:27:33 +0000 Angie 1392374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans, glitz, cognac accents and backpack - come on - how can this NOT be killer. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392355 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:01:57 +0000 Jjsloane 1392355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! one of my favorites.

I even bought DH a cognac belt for Ireland trip, he has yet to wear..<br />i love the mix of the cognac with the tan and the sparkle in your sweater for added interest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392340 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:43:04 +0000 texstyle 1392340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater looks beautiful on you - and I love how you've added the cognac accents - really nice. I agree with Firecracker that the fit of everything is spot on and really makes this special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392302 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 1392302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also really like the booties with your gold sweater. I'm inspired to try something similar with white jeans and a silver metallic pullover. Cognac is a fun unexpected element here. Big thumbs up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392299 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:38:41 +0000 Anonymous 1392299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty Shannon - almost a holiday-like look! &nbsp;And there is that backpack I love again.....:) &nbsp;Excellent sparkle for a day like today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392280 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:11:17 +0000 Jaime 1392280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! The cognac bag and belt add so much here. The booties you are wearing sort of bookend the sweater, which I love, but cognac booties would look good too :-)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392277 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:51:22 +0000 Windchime 1392277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rich colors of your beautiful sweater and accessories will light up gloomy November days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392270 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:42:15 +0000 Anonymous 1392270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I'm looking right back atcha! And liking what I see too! I love the use of a metallic sweater here.. hmm, I have a gold tone sweater. I think your outfit is fab and your bright smile is a joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392267 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:39:49 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1392267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Firecracker on this one. &nbsp;I think the outfit looks great and all of the pieces work really well but it might need a few darker elements to offset the white for winter (or close to winter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392265 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:37:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1392265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I love this outfit! The matching of belt buckle and top and of the belt and bag are part of what gives it such a lovely integrity. The fit of the sweater and jeans are superb, lending a casual but polished feel. I think the booties work fine, as this taupe shade allows them to recede and leave the focus on the beautiful sweater. I'm wondering about trying a darker neutral, though. I don't think you need cognac, although that would certainly work. Maybe black or dark brown, to bookend your hair? Or perhaps add a color like dark blue or red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-crazy-for-cognac#post-1392259 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 12:30:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1392259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving having accessories in cognac and have particularly enjoyed seeing Fabbers' outfits combining cognac and white (Diane - I'm looking at you ).</p> <p>So today's outfit started with my white slim BF jeans. I then added my gold metallic knit pullover, semi tucked to show my new cognac belt. I love that the brass buckle of the belt matches the gold pullover.</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't have cognac booties - yet (I'm keeping my eye on the Clarks Chelsea boots in cognac like the black ones I have) so chose my sand suede wedge booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>For accessories I chose my cognac backpack, gold watch and wedding ring.</p> <p>So what are your thoughts on this outfit? Does it all work together? Would it be better with cognac booties? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Pullover: Esprit<br />Jeans: True Religion Brianna (eBay)<br />Boots: Toms<br />Backpack: Hospital gift shop<br />Belt: Danier Leather </p>
