Look, no disrespect, Shannon, but may I get you one of those pocket dictionary things for Christmas? (Excuse me, am clearly not Gen X... Doubtless there's an app these days)</p> <p>Only thing is I don't think the shoes can outshine you on top of the pants and clutch. Which makes YOU the star of the show. And I don't think you can or want to top that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1059497 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 05:25:15 +0000 JAileen 1059497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1059491 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 05:15:03 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1059491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern on the pants does come through in the photos and adds interest on top of your fab accessories </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1059475 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 04:15:08 +0000 Jaime 1059475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this earlier but glad I caught it now.

I've been quite comfortable all day running around and these shoes have generated a fair bit of buzz in the office - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058669 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:05:10 +0000 Inge 1058669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not boring at all, Shannon!! You have the textured pants, the fluid silhouette and the animal print footwear and clutch (with a fun pop of red), so lots of interest going on. This is a great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058668 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:03:18 +0000 kkards 1058668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you are the above the title star, the shoes are the co-star, and the pants are the supportive best friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058651 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:48:48 +0000 Susie 1058651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An outfit where the shoes are the star?? AND they are black and white?? How could that possibly be boring??!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058571 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:30:37 +0000 Amy 1058571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just know this outfit is even better in person. Dark colors and textures are hard to capture. I like it a lot--and the funky Fluevog shoes are drool-worthy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058529 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:59:14 +0000 ironkurtin 1058529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058489 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:18:03 +0000 JG 1058489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes and bag are fabulous, but you're the star! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058487 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:15:06 +0000 Windchime 1058487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way boring; rather, classy and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058483 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:10:44 +0000 Thistle 1058483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!&nbsp; I really love the bright pop of red from your purse. And those shoes!!&nbsp; Amazing!&nbsp; Who said flats had to be boring!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058479 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:07:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1058479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the shoes are marvelous!&nbsp; You look terrific, and I think the textures are really interesting, and would be even more so up close.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058425 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 13:14:09 +0000 Suz 1058425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not boring, Shannon! I love the mix of texture and subtle pattern. And the bag makes it all pop.&nbsp;But I'll tell you what. When I make the transition to more darker tones in winter I find it difficult for a while. It's harder to see the detail and it doesn't always photograph as well. I sometimes see it all as looking harsh (on me). And maybe it does (on me!) But sometimes I think it's just the change that makes me see it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058422 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 13:12:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1058422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb - ha ha! I knew you'd have to chime in and saying that all black is not boring - lol!&nbsp;</p> <p>Aquamarine - I don't really wear scarves (used to but I've gotten away from them) but I did think about a necklace. Thank you for the suggestion.</p> <p>Neel - the "bag of envy" - so cute!</p> <p>So I have scrunched my sweater sleeves which IMHO has given the outfit a bit of a better feel - more structure and have decided that due to the impact of the shoes and the fairly strong texture of the pants, simple is a better way to go here.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058398 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:42:43 +0000 Neel 1058398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everyone here, not boring at all! &nbsp;The black outfit has different textures which makes it interesting by itself. &nbsp;Add killer shoes and the *bag of envy* and&nbsp;you are done! &nbsp;I must admit I first opened the last pic to check out the shoes ..... your description of it&nbsp;sounded so drool worthy! &nbsp;And I wasn't disappointed! &nbsp;Love the pair! &nbsp;Off to wipe some drool off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058375 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:07:33 +0000 Anonymous 1058375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boring? Never! The shoes star when they are not competing with your adorable clutch. I love the patterned pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058373 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:04:20 +0000 Aquamarine 1058373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not boring...LOVE the pants especially. However, I confess wanting to see something at the neckline....dark scarf? necklace? I am far from an expert, and I struggle with long sleeved black tops myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058371 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:02:58 +0000 Robidi 1058371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes are the focal point and the outfit is gorgeous! &nbsp;So chic.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058363 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:51:09 +0000 El Cee 1058363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all boring.

Love this!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058361 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:50:29 +0000 sarah 1058361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit. This is helping me think about ways to style some textured jeans that I'm struggling to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058354 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:44:00 +0000 Deborah 1058354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now listen very carefully... All black is not boring:). It is elegant, chic, edgy modern, stylish....all the things this outfit is:). Those shoes are brilliant. This outfit looks effortless. You look amazing. I feel a copycat coming on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058343 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:32:39 +0000 Anonymous 1058343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOT BORING!</p> <p>The trousers are patterned and have a sheen, the shoes are the star, you did good, woman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058342 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:32:23 +0000 rute 1058342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so chic and trendy!! Love the mix of animal prints! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monochromatic-animal#post-1058341 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:31:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1058341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmmm.....this outfit doesn't photograph well being all black. I over exposed the pics a bit to try and show the textures in the outfit.</p> <p>I started today's outfit with my shoes. I bought these Fluevog pointy toe animal print oxfords about two months ago and have been waiting for the cooler weather (which is here now!). I did not like the wide ribbon laces that came with the shoes as I thought they took away from the look of the shoe itself and so have swapped those out for this black laces...much better.</p> <p>I paired the shoes with my slouchy black textured trousers. These trousers are a mix of a silky fabric with a velvet embossed pattern on top. They remind me of that old velvet flocked wallpaper from the 1960's but in pants - lol!</p> <p>I paired the trousers with a simple black sweater (the sister to my pink sweater) with 3/4 sleeves and punched up the outfit a bit with my red and animal print clutch - well that, and a swipe of red lipstick. My rose gold/black watch rounds out the outfit.</p> <p>Now that I see the pictures I'm wondering if the monochromatic black outfit is boring? I really wanted the shoes to be the star of the outfit but I'm not sure I got this right. As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Sweater: Sears<br />Trousers: Nygard<br />Shoes: Fluevog<br />Clutch: Material Girl<br />Watch: Fossil </p>
