I love this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648989 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 01:17:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't give up Sveta - I was sure I wasn't going to find a floral blazer (and to be honest, wasn't even looking) when this one just showed up in a Value Village of all places. Never say never! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648979 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 01:10:06 +0000 Sveta 648979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab, Shannon! You are blossoming together with these florals!<br /> Unfortunately I still could not find anything floral I like. Definitely this is not my floral season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648976 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 01:02:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you so much Suz, Meredith, Jamie, Claire, Kirti, Rae, MaryK and Aida. I will definitely need all of you to help me figure out florals come fall!</p> <p>Aida - I just saw your handbag that looks similar - clearly we both have great taste - LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648945 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 00:00:53 +0000 Aida 648945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun jacket, you do wear florals so well with your retro side Shannon! I really like dark moody florals for fall/winter, even though I don't currently wear them.</p> <p>(As an aside I just bought a bag that looks almost the same as yours here, down to the pinkish color!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648665 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:10:16 +0000 MsMary 648665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is a great look! That jacket is the find of the century! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648663 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:05:37 +0000 rae 648663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! These bright florals love you right back, Shannon. The soft pink bag is a lovely counterpoint to the brightness and saturation. </p> <p>I think the florals will look great in the cooler months, too! Maybe with charcoal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648654 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:49:37 +0000 Kirti 648654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally killer! I love this jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648635 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:28:30 +0000 Anonymous 648635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love this! That blazer is so perfect--I can't believe it's thrifted!!! So fab with the black midi. The sandals are perfect and I love your new bag (although I might have worn Kelly with this). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648634 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:26:08 +0000 Jamie 648634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just looking at your lovely new blazer makes me happy! What a great find, and such a terrific outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648626 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:13:31 +0000 Meredith1953 648626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon,<br /> You have a great column of black under that beautiful blazer! The pink handbag really pulls the pink tones in the blazer and I absolutely love the tough but chic sandals! Perfect outfit and consider it "pinned". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648560 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:37:26 +0000 Suz 648560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this is fab! I SO love those Fly sandals, BTW. </p> <p>Of course you can wear florals in winter! But they might be differently coloured, or in a different fabrication. Kari and Celia and I all own the same abstract floral midi dress from sadly-missed Cassis. Black and white florals would work. I can imagine lots of possibilities. Even some of the brights. Just not light cotton ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648539 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:04:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - it was Angie who suggested I pair the floral blazer with my black midi. Once again, she was spot on!</p> <p>Angie - how do I wear florals in winter? I tend to think of them as only a summertime item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648531 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:55:36 +0000 Angie 648531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy, pretty and retro! A solid 10. </p> <p>Florals are SO retro, Shannon. I am happy that you rediscovered them this season. Don't give them up for Winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648529 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:54:01 +0000 Abie 648529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!! This is one of my favorite outfits on you. The colors in the jacket are perfect and really light up your face. I love how you styled it with simple black and the sandals add a little edge which keeps the jacket from looking dated at all. I also love that you pulled out the light pink color with the bag. </p> <p>I am loving all the crazy prints and florals! I have a magnetic eye toward them right now. I have a ton of print . I need a few more dresses and I had to really talk myself into going with some solids so I would have some better mixing options come fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648521 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:43:06 +0000 cheryl 648521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty!

I love these bold prints on you, and the sandals are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648442 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:51:24 +0000 Sarah A 648442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the floral and the and the black. Go team wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648440 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:41:25 +0000 Deborah 648440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful. I particularly like how the colors of the jacket look so dramatic against the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648439 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:37:08 +0000 Tanya 648439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit Shannon! No suggestions, as it is perfect already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648433 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:27:26 +0000 ManidipaM 648433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh. my. goodness! Shannon, you're an inspiration. You look SO FAB! This is some very advanced colour matching indeed. Love the delicacy of the sandals with the very solid dress, the lightness of that pink on top of that and that wonderful 'coat of all colours' pulling it all together. Enviably chic. </p> <p>This is easily one of your best ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-flower-power#post-648432 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:22:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is the debut of my newly thrifted floral blazer - I can't believe how much I've fallen in love with florals this season! I've paired it with my black midi pencil skirt and a simple black tank. I'm wearing my Fly London sandals and a pink Hermes knock-off handbag to pull the lighter pink colour out of the jacket. No other jewelry today.</p> <p>What do you think? Are you enjoying crazy florals this season like I am? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blazer: thrifted (no label)<br /> Tank: Gap<br /> Skirt: Taifun Collection (thrifted)<br /> Sandals: Fly London<br /> Handbag: Hermes - knock off (consignment) </p>
