It's thrifted so no label.</p> <p>Thanks you everyone for popping by! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-633014 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:43:04 +0000 annagybe 633014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it without the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-633005 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:24:51 +0000 Anonymous 633005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HOW could you forget to mention the belt in your credits? That belt makes the outfit! And the clutch, and the boots, okay, well never mind! I love this on you! The boots should not work, but they do! Every time. I can't believe you thrifted everything but the boots. And if you don't need the sun-washed red jacket for anything else, it would be a cinch to dye it orange or red or red-orange. Just ask Rae, the dye queen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-633001 Wed, 30 May 2012 22:16:01 +0000 Beth Ann 633001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and pink. Tough and sweet. Yep, this is you!</p> <p>I'm with Rae that a really saturated jacket would be fab, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632954 Wed, 30 May 2012 21:21:09 +0000 jen 632954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Shannon style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632704 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:53:55 +0000 christieanne 632704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with a formula!! I like the boots with the dress on you and in this pairing (and normally, honestly, booties with a bare leg are not my thing) because they are well proportioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632674 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:08:51 +0000 City Poodle 632674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the style vibe of this outfit. The belt and boots first caught my eye on the thumbnail, but it looks great enlarged too and with the cropped jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632672 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:06:53 +0000 Aziraphale 632672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's a great outfit! Love the belt and boots. I want to raid your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632643 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:48:16 +0000 morethanbeige 632643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sheath combined with the added funky style of the belt and boots. This looks like fab Shannon style to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632639 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:45:20 +0000 Diana 632639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love! The jacket is great but I actually prefer it without - the shape/proportions and the boot/dress/belt combo is just perfect on its own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632619 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:24:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much - I feel so completely comfortable in this ensemble and it really has become my "go to" type of look.</p> <p>Rita - I completely agree and if a cropped saturated coloured jacket should be spotted in my travels, I will definitely be taking a look! What colour though do you think? Green? Purple? Cobalt blue? Yellow? Orange? (I'm kind of thinking yellow or orange) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632533 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:08:33 +0000 goldenpig 632533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great formula! You really know your style and it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632527 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:05:04 +0000 MsMary 632527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Supah fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632519 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:57:34 +0000 rae 632519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's your formula for a reason! The peach jacket lightens and softens the black dress up nicely. Good luck on your day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632516 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:56:24 +0000 harmonica 632516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! Very, very Shannon all through </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632505 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:49:43 +0000 Angie 632505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632476 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:26:03 +0000 Anonymous 632476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions look great. I may also have to copy the peachy jacket with black dress and heavy black belt, but have nothing like your Doc Marcies. Maybe nude/tan booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632474 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:22:29 +0000 teeandcee 632474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I especially love how the denim jacket just a weee bit softens the look with the feminine color. But I loved it before the denim too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632472 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:21:36 +0000 Suz 632472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fun!! </p> <p>I would copy this in a second if I had a funky belt like yours. As it is, I may have to copy anyway! </p> <p>Shannon, your "go-tos" are so fantastic, they are really all you need. You have honed your style so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632469 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:18:45 +0000 sarah 632469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632460 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:50:56 +0000 Debora 632460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool! I love how the belt echoes the vibe of the boots. Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632454 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:41:32 +0000 modgrl 632454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - I am wearing head to toe black today too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632453 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:40:52 +0000 modgrl 632453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great formula. Look how fab your legs look in the mid calf boots and short skirt. </p> <p>Did you ever think about a denim jacket in a saturated primary color like red or yellow. I feel like clear fully saturated brights are more flattering for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632451 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:34:47 +0000 Jaime 632451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic! A formula well worth keeping and repeating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632434 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:35:57 +0000 Velma 632434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Utterly adorable, and I'm having late 1980s-early '90s flashbacks--the boots, the belt. Just love this!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632433 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:31:19 +0000 citygirldc 632433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit has the cool factor with the boots. I may have to copy it too although i don't think I have an Doc Maartens plus it's 90 degrees here in DC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632432 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:25:34 +0000 Deborah 632432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfection. I love the boots with this dress, so much so I almost can't stand it!! And then the pop of color with the jacket is fun and cool at the same time. You have turned what is essentially a very classic dress into a totally edgy outfit. I feel a copy cat coming on... Only it will have to be a winterized version:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-favourite-formula#post-632431 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:20:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 632431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a schizophrenic kind of day at work today - the first part involves a lot of walking and standing and then the second part is a regular office day. I need to be both comfortable but office appropriate. So I returned a favourite formula of mine of knit dress, jacket and Docs. I'm wearing my ponte knit black sheath dress with a large funky kind of belt, topped with my peachy/pink cropped jacket and my Doc Marcie's. I'm wearing my faux snakeskin clutch and metal cuff for accessories. This isn't a particularly summery outfit for today but then neither is our weather (very cool and wet).</p> <p>So how are the proportions in this outfit? I must say I feel like ME in this! As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: Gap (thrifted)<br /> Dress: Cleo Petite (thrifted)<br /> Boots: Doc Martens Marcie's<br /> Clutch: Sondra Roberts (thrifted)<br /> Cuff: thrifted </p>
