I thought for sure I would be fussing with it all day, but not at all. Give it a go!<br /><br />Jenanded - yep, all this stuff was already in my closet. That's what I love about YLF - you can get inspiration from others on how to wear what you already have.<br /><br />Thanks everyone - will definitely be wearing this look again and trying other layering options with my sheath dress. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn/page/2#post-884039 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:21:12 +0000 jenanded 884039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ totally love it Shannon! Ingunn did a good thing with her post. so all this cool gear was already in your closet?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn/page/2#post-883620 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:41:21 +0000 Aida 883620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pretty layering! I also have "layer a sheathe over a silk blouse" on my list to try once it warms up a bit. I forget which designer showed it for the fall runway shows, but it's been in my mind since seeing it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn/page/2#post-883544 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:31:30 +0000 Deborah 883544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is fabulous!&nbsp; As Angie said, "elegant tough" is the perfect description.&nbsp; Such an attractive combination.&nbsp; And the boots take it from being simply ladylike to adding that edge which to my way of thinking just adds further interest.&nbsp; And I find the tones of that blouse just so flattering on you Shannon.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn/page/2#post-883542 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:28:00 +0000 Makrame 883542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfit!<br /><br />I have been inspired by both Ingunn and you - I loved her dress exercise but instead of the wrap dress, I bought "your"&nbsp;V-neck dress and have been layering blouses under it. &nbsp;The belt is a great touch - I have been adding belts to my v-neck dress as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883480 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:37:03 +0000 Anonymous 883480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ditto on the dark tights. I am running a 'friggin bonfire with them at this point. My compromise: sheer black hose. That's an option too, although I like as is, given the fact this is the first day of Spring. ( What a joke, it is 45 degrees here).<br /><br />Love the layering with the blouse. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883479 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:34:44 +0000 Ingunn 883479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon - I'm going to copy you tomorrow! Thank you for providing the idea I needed. I'm going to a meeting in town tomorrow, and want to look professional, but a little funky. I'll wear my LBD, cream silk blouse, snake skin belt and brown booties. I probably have to wear heavier tights than I want to due to the temperature, but I'll see if I can funk it up a bit anyway.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883474 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:25:32 +0000 catgirl 883474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had to go back and look at your outfit again after seeing the comments about the legline. &nbsp;I am a huge fan of boots and bare legs, and not so concerned about leg lengthening, so I am still a fan of this look as is. &nbsp;In fact, I think dark hose would make it more predictable - and&nbsp;am sick of them too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883471 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:22:45 +0000 amiable 883471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883277 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:59:50 +0000 Ornella 883277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love.<br /><br />And that lampshade accentuates your blouse beautifully. &nbsp;<br /><br /><b>:o</b><br />You have never layered a dress before? S.h.a.n.n.o.n? Did someone crack your&nbsp;account?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883259 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:34:18 +0000 Tina.b 883259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very inspired to layer the blouse under the dress. Just a hint of that fab colour and patter of the blouse goes a long way. Gorgeous outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883237 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:15:14 +0000 Robin M 883237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love! You're making me covet those boots. I would echo the comment about the tights, as they seem slightly shiny, but I get the need for it to be spring RIGHT NOW. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883236 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:14:39 +0000 unfrumped 883236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like this look.&nbsp; A great job of layering. Sometimes shirts under dresses&nbsp;can look forced, to my eye--like, I'm gonna wear this dress in winter if it kills me! But these items work together wonderfully. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883234 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:11:41 +0000 JulieJohn 883234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, as usual, you look amazing. But you incorporate a regal look this time that has me really intrigued. I think it's kind of knightly, a la Ceit. It has to do with the fitted bodice and the blousy sleeves. Her royal highness, Prince Shannon!<br /><br />You look good in this higher neckline. I'd like to see you in a Nehru jacket.<br /><br />I think you made the right choice with the hose.<br /><br />And lest I gush, that belt is really a defining factor in why this outfit looks so smashing. If it were a skinny belt, it might just be predictable. This way, you get a lovely "accidental" menswear vibe.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883199 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:42:24 +0000 Ingunn 883199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aww, Shannon! I'm very flattered :)&nbsp;You look fabulous in this outfit, and I LOVE the layering with the blouse underneath. I also totally get why you want light legs. I do too! The shortening effect is not bothering to my eye. You look elegant, relaxed and effortless chic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883180 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:26:18 +0000 Karie 883180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it! I have never layered under a dress either. I have a similar dress to yours, you have inspired me to try it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883157 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:08:40 +0000 catgirl 883157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, this is fantastic!&nbsp; I've always had a hard time envisioning layered dresses - too much like the mommy t-neck/jumper look - but you and Ingunn are completely converting me.&nbsp; Really really great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883146 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:00:26 +0000 Angie 883146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER<br /><br />Elegant Tough :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883066 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:38:31 +0000 Thistle 883066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh, it is -9F here today, you are a brave and fabulous woman in a dress!&nbsp; <br /><br />You look terrific, Shannon, and I love the way the blouse layered with the dress! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883063 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:36:22 +0000 Carole 883063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok, STUNNING! Such a fabulous combination. Well done. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-883035 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:02:46 +0000 modgrl 883035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Delish, what a great pairing! Are you freezing?! I haven't worn my nude hose at all this winter. I just can't face the cold!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882988 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:25:30 +0000 Sara L. 882988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfit!&nbsp; I like the idea of layering under dresses but it doesn't always work like I think it will - necklines and shoulders don't always work together.&nbsp; This is a great example of the two pieces working well with each other.&nbsp; I hear on ya on the dark tights.&nbsp; I'm wearing a skirt and high boots with no tights today and just hoping I don't freeze (it's supposed to be spring-like today but the weatherman isn't always right). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882980 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:20:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 882980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dianthus - yes, I did question the almost bare legs when I stepped out of the house this morning!<br /><br />Jeanne/DV/Diane - I hear you about the darker hose or tights giving me a longer leg line but to be honest, I'm so sick of wearing darker tights during this long winter. My "bare-ish" legs are a nod to spring and personally it doesn't bother me that mid calf boots break up my leg line. But I do appreciate your keen eyes and suggestion :)<br /><br />Thank you Debora, Raisin, Ceit, Harmonica, Runcarla, Beth Ann and Shevia! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882967 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:13:05 +0000 Jaime 882967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Layering under a dress is such a great idea and look how great you look! Love the boots with this too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882954 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:00:07 +0000 Beth Ann 882954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazing, Shannon.&nbsp; The silky, but polished blouse is the perfect choice here.&nbsp; The silhouette is beautiful and sleek -- not easy to do in winter!<br /><br />Hope you wear this one again!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882938 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:30:14 +0000 Carla 882938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well done! &nbsp;Super stylish. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882935 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:25:08 +0000 Anonymous 882935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the stlying of the dress but I think I&nbsp;am following DV and Jjsloane with regards to a slightly darker pair of hose. But to be honest I think you always look great https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882929 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:17:08 +0000 Day Vies 882929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the look with the blouse dress and belt. Even the clutch is nicely integrated! I love the idea of a mid-calf edgy boot, but I don't like how it cuts up your leg line. Gray or black hose for the same boots maybe? Or an ankle bootie for lighter hose? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882919 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:59:32 +0000 Jjsloane 882919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love this. I might have done black tights to not cut up the leg, but it still works and your proportions are just right along with the different textures and print.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ingunn#post-882914 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:55:52 +0000 harmonica 882914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfection!!! This outfit is just awesome! The proportions are super and the accessories are adding all fun and edgy vibes!<br />
