Especially when the rest is a column of color.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448784 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:06:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1448784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you ladies! I wasn't entirely sure this worked so glad that the YLF "eagle eyes" have deemed it ok :)</p> <p>Suz - "Frigid Friday" indeed! Right Lisa?</p> <p>This jacket was a bit of a wild card purchase for me - I don't really wear brown per se and the finish was almost a little RATE for my style. But it has turned out to be surprisingly versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448756 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 18:24:50 +0000 Ruth M 1448756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Shannon - cognac with black looks so "rich" and your complete outfit works together beautifully. You look great. (More jacket envy here.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448754 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 18:20:20 +0000 Aida 1448754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! The browns on top and bottom over the column of black is plenty lengthening. This is my favorite way to wear lots of brown ^^ Gorgeous finish on the moto, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448712 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:57:01 +0000 texstyle 1448712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great - love the mix of the cognac, black and a little red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448705 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:47:54 +0000 Suz 1448705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works beautifully, Shannon! And perfect for a frigid Friday!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448703 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:45:09 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1448703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! The column of color aids in the contrast boot color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448701 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:41:37 +0000 Angie 1448701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the smattering of red with the cognac. And isn't that a great jacket. Gorgeous texture.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448684 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 15:19:25 +0000 Neel 1448684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this Shannon ! It has a very sophisticated look to it. Although, black boots would have been traditionally more flaterring , I think brown works well here because of the color repetition. Missed your smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448668 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:45:37 +0000 Anonymous 1448668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works for my eye too! &nbsp;Like the idea of a non-black boot for a change (on everyone and anyone, not you in particular) . Think I might wear something similar today myself. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448615 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:07:03 +0000 Jaime 1448615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works to my eye - the non-matching cognacs does not bother me at all and as you said the short jacket balances the leg contrast. Excellent outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-double-cognac#post-1448600 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:26:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1448600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a cocktail, doesn't it? :)</p> <p>As per Angie's blog post yesterday, I'm trying to get through the long, cold winter by adding interesting layers, wearing a variety of boots and toppers.</p> <p>Today's outfit started with my ponte knit black jeggings and my hi-lo twist front tank. On top of that, I added my cognac moto jacket as an indoor topper. I like the finish on this jacket - a sort of "dirty, beat-up" look.</p> <p>To bookend the jacket and wear a different pair of warm boots, I chose my cognac knee high equestrian-ish boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I finished off the outfit with rose gold/black watch, gold wedding band, red specs and red lipstick.</p> <p>I know that the high contrast between the boots and the jeggings is leg shortening but I'm hoping it's negated by the shorter jacket and is&nbsp;not unflattering.</p> <p>So….over to you…does this work? Are the proportions JFE? Even though the two cognac colours are not a match, do they still bookend successfully? Does this even work as an ensemble?&nbsp;As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: Lord &amp; Taylor<br />Tank: Danier Leather<br />Jeggings: NYDJ<br />Boots: Hush Puppy<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Watch: Fossil (eBay) </p>
