Thank you.</p> <p>My lesson here is that volume CAN work on a petite apple as long as it's the right amount of volume coupled with structure to reign it in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622481 Thu, 17 May 2012 22:18:21 +0000 Anonymous 622481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shannon this is so fab I can hardly catch my breath! Your style transformation is so encouraging. It always makes me think I can yank myself up by my bootstraps and figure it out for myself too. Someday! You have boldly experimented and let us see your misses as well as your hits. It's really helpful.</p> <p>Okay, my thoughts on this outfit. I think the top is bang on. What Jonesy said about your exposed collar bones and the length of the sleeves makes so much sense. This is just the right amount of volume on you and it says *drama* to me. LOVE it! The banded waist is definitely your friend. No fussing necessary. Perfect with the pencil skirt and I love the modern necklace with your retro touches. A large cuff would be fab if you want to change it up. Your shoes always look so good on you! You have a real talent for picking out a cool, chunky shoe that is current. And finally, that FABULOUS bag! I really, really, really like it. The more *in your face* vintage your bags are, the more I love them on you. You have exceptional style Shannon, and you deserve exceptional bags! Thank you for treating us to this gorgeous outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622479 Thu, 17 May 2012 22:14:54 +0000 HelenInCanada 622479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blouse (missed the red pants post!), and it looks great with the skirt. Winners can do no wrong in my book. Like I mentioned in another thread, I can't leave that place without something I love!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622475 Thu, 17 May 2012 22:09:17 +0000 Makrame 622475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really and truly an amazing outfit! Beautiful blouse and such a nice gift, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622400 Thu, 17 May 2012 20:06:24 +0000 ironkurtin 622400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sweet that this is a special gift from your son! I think you look great and I hope my relationship with my kid is as sweet as yours is with DS when she gets to be his age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622327 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:38:40 +0000 Meredith1953 622327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon,<br /> This absolutely gorgeous on you! I really love the restrained color palette combined with the strong and dramatic silhouette of the top and skirt. Even the sandals are simple but dramatic. Outstanding outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse/page/2#post-622325 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:35:55 +0000 Jonesy 622325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I think tops like that work best when they have a nice scoop neck that shows off the collar bones and they come to the elbow but no lower--yours is perfect and looks perfect! Such a gorgeous look, Shannon. You are really bringing it every. single. day. My hat is off to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622290 Thu, 17 May 2012 18:00:10 +0000 Kiwichik 622290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love that outit is just perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622286 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:58:07 +0000 lyn67 622286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, this is one of my favourite Shannon outfit, for sure!!!! Love the blouse, but the chuncky sandals give the edge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622283 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:57:02 +0000 catgirl 622283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this so much better than the red trousers! I wore a similar shaped top on Mother's Day - it's comfy, forgiving and flattering. Love the black and white combo with this silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622275 Thu, 17 May 2012 17:50:16 +0000 christieanne 622275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOoooooh! Like very much! Fun new shape and I am most definitely going to try to copy if I find the opportunity. Leave no style untouched is a good lesson. </p> <p>I would think it would be great with black clams, your bootcut denim or white. And try the black necklace at some point too. Fun top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622215 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:38:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 622215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ - I'm going to try this blouse with my slim fitting black clams and these same sandals - when I do, you'll have to let me know if it works!</p> <p>Rae - what's interesting about these Fly London's is they are $245 on Amazon and yet I found them in our local Winner's in early April for $59.99! So definitely check around, you may find an amazing deal somewhere.</p> <p>Sveta - Suz wondered about he layering capabilities too so I'll try it on with a jacket when I get home and then let you know if it works with these sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622211 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:31:15 +0000 Sveta 622211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I can say - WOW! I was usually bypassing these blouses in the store but I may need to reconsider thanks to you.<br /> My only conscern would be how easy it is ot layer over it because I may freeze to death in our AC office without another layer on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622196 Thu, 17 May 2012 16:06:30 +0000 rae 622196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this (and have worn the same silhouette this past winter, in dark colors). High five for spotting that shirt instead of the red pants. Zap is right - I think the necklace brings it all together. </p> <p>Thank you for mentioning the Fly Londons, too. I have drooled over them on Amazon for quite some time, but they are so pricey and hardly ever have reviews online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622187 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:55:56 +0000 AJ 622187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowie Zowie! Flutter sleeves and midil skirts should be a spring/summer staple fo you! (I think a regular length pencil skirt would make the proportions a less flattering 50/50.) Hmmm...I wonder how this top would look with capris or cropped slim pants?</p> <p>Luv how you bookend the geometric print in the top with the cut-out shapes in the sandals! </p> <p>This is an absolutely stellar outfit, TS! Tell your son he is a sweetie pie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622182 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:46:23 +0000 MsMary 622182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! And what a lovely son you have!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622175 Thu, 17 May 2012 15:41:48 +0000 K. Period. 622175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you look amazing, and I bet it looks even more amazing in person! I love the pairing of the loose shirt with the pencil skirt. Perfect! And when you said chunky bracelet or cuff, I though, even more perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622122 Thu, 17 May 2012 14:40:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 622122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks so much for the positive comments - it's always a little freaky when you're wearing a new type of item. </p> <p>KikiG - definitely try on a blouse like this. I had doubts and then when I put it on, was pleasantly surprised. You never know until you try!</p> <p>Angie - whoo hoo! You've made my day! With or without necklace do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622120 Thu, 17 May 2012 14:36:35 +0000 Angie 622120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Superb de-bombshelling. </p> <p>One of my Shannon-favourites </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622089 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:59:24 +0000 Anonymous 622089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous blouse. In reference to the necklace ... uhh... call me crazy, but I think that's what's making it all come together. It grounds the flowiness of the shirt. Interesting. I wonder what Angie's opinion is </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622088 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:57:02 +0000 jayne 622088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shannon, you look lovely. What a perfect present! (second time around ;9)</p> <p>THose shoes look great with this. I keep seeing Fly here but never anything that cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622084 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:53:02 +0000 KikiG 622084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You inspire me! I usually pass up those tops, because at 5'1" and busty, I thought I'd look like a mushroom. I'm going to look at them again with more open eyes. I think this ranks as #1 of all the outfits I've seen you post!</p> <p> I wonder what that top would look like with some white jeans and those adorable shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622083 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:52:09 +0000 Jaime 622083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! The blouse is great on you, I love the narrow skirt, the sandals (I also like Fly London!), the long necklace, the bag. Is that everything? Your big smile! Love that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622072 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:39:54 +0000 Beth Ann 622072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plonk! (That's me falling to the floor from your fabness). This is a terrific look, and a new one, too! I love it's balance of soft and structure, and the graphic, but simple print of the top and shoes. Brava! I think the necklace is important to creating a bit of vertical line, but black beads would work, too!</p> <p>Yeah to Mother's Day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622044 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:13:29 +0000 MNsara 622044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Shannon - I think this might be one of my faves on you! That could be partly because this is firmly in my neutral dark/cream territory, but the main part is because this is so darn cute on you! Super flattering with the pencil skirt and volume in the blouse.</p> <p>I think the pendant is perfect and adds the hint of vertical line to break up the blouse volume. If you add a bangle, I personally would stick with a wide gold cuff (but I'm matchy like that).</p> <p>Way to go, son and mom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622039 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:06:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 622039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm....maybe a bold cuff instead of the necklace? Or if going with a necklace, my black vintage beads instead?</p> <p>Suz - so far I'm finding the sleeves fine. No jacket over top today as it's already warm and going up to +30 celcius. I love the light, almost "fairy" like sleeves. I think it could be annoying with a jacket on top though but I don't intend to wear it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622028 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:42:47 +0000 Sona 622028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this softer blouse on you. the proportions work and the color palette is simple yet strong in the outfit. Nice work TS!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622027 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:42:15 +0000 Kirti 622027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love the blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-622021 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:37:52 +0000 Suz 622021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really pretty and elegant and fun, and a nice change of silhouette. </p> <p>Question...did the sleeves bug you throughout the day? Did you wear a coat over top? </p> <p>I love the look of these sleeves but then when it comes time for a jacket or coat it gets into the "Fuss Factor" territory that Claire so aptly named... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mothers-day-blouse#post-621999 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:21:24 +0000 Jjsloane 621999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection to me! Nice choice of all items. </p>
