There's something kinda of cheeky about pairing lace with moto styling don't you think?</p> <p>Rachy - "Punky" - love it!</p> <p>Lisa - I found the same thing with the makeup. I put on my pink lipstick first and it just felt wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p>Beth Ann - you're cracking me up with trying to describe my legs - lol!</p> <p>Thanks for the welcome back ladies.

You are right Suz, it is all about proportion and I think my thicker legs work in my favor here.</p> <p>Thanks all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024908 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:41:46 +0000 Jaime 1024908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our jacket! (More like your jacket that I shamelessly copied.) I totally know what you mean about the shoes - they are not the refined look of late but I think they still work well&nbsp;here. Just a different look. If you wore your pointy pumps it would be another outfit. And great to see you back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024902 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:34:23 +0000 Suz 1024902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect, Shannon! And we missed you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think your Saras are clunky on you at all. Remember what Angie said. It's all a matter of proportions. And if the shoe works, baby, wear it!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024892 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:13:03 +0000 Anonymous 1024892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so good to see you posting outfits, Shannon. Every time I see you in that blue lace jacket, I kick myself for not grabbing one when I could have. The white of the Sara oxfords keeps them from looking chunky. You are a vision of Angie's refined darks formula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024891 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:10:32 +0000 pastrygirl 1024891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back!</p> <p>I love love love this outfit!

The touches of white and the hint of skin beneath the lace lift the darks to give a lovely balance. A very successful rendition of Angie's formula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024883 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:54:00 +0000 Deborah 1024883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot, and I have missed you also:). I am thrilled to see the Doc Sara's come out to play. I do love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024876 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:29:19 +0000 Anonymous 1024876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Shannon (I missed you!).</p> <p>We have the opposite problem -- temps have dropped like a rock overnight and in the morning. Maybe that means some warm weather is coming back our way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lace-jacket-doc-oxfords#post-1024875 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:23:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1024875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning my lovelies - I've missed you :)</p> <p>Dressing this past week has been somewhat confusing - the leaves are falling off the trees, geese are flying and the days are getting shorter but the actual temperatures are hot, hot, hot. So I'm wanting to dress in fall like ensembles but try and stay cool.</p> <p>I was thrilled to see Angie's blog post about refined darks in casual ensembles for MOTG and decided to take that formula and apply it to my office attire. I couldn't be more pleased that the colour combo of dark blue, black, grey and white is going to trending&nbsp;this fall - that's pretty much what my fall and winter wardrobe already consists of. Don't you love it when that happens?</p> <p>Today's outfit started with my black midi pencil skirt and a simple black tank. I then added my ink blue lace jacket. This jacket is the perfect weight for this time of year since the sleeves breathe with the lace cut outs. For my touches of white, I dug out my neglected Doc Martens Sara oxfords. I like how the black in the shoe ties in with the skirt and then the white gives the lightness. I realize these shoes do not fit the current refined shoe trend as they are quite chunky, but hopefully they work in this instance. I then added my large light cream handbag for another touch of lightness. A simple black and white large watch completes the look.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this illustrate Angie's formula? Do the shoes work with this? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Oh yeah...and I've switched to my fall lipstick which is a darker red/burgundy blend.</p> <p>Jacket: INC<br />Tank and skirt: Cleo Petite<br />Shoes: Doc Martens<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Watch: Calvin Klein (thrifted) </p>
