You are looking marvelous. The hair is just wonderful -- I really think the softer, longer style suits you so well.

Of course I love your outfit - I think I want to wear it! Please post as much as possible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655764 Fri, 06 May 2016 00:51:57 +0000 catherine 1655764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And your HAIR! So, so lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655702 Thu, 05 May 2016 22:24:14 +0000 Aida 1655702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I love your "get on with it and have some fun already" attitude The culottes are super! I think the shorter length of your sweater actually works really well here; if you don't have any other short tops it may be worth leaving it as-is to wear with skirts and culottes!</p> <p>I wore my culottes just yesterday with a skirt length short sleeve sweater; I've also been enjoying wearing them with a roomy tucked silk blouse + boxy denim vest, and with just a cropped sleeveless sweater and pumps. I have a tunic+cropped jacket look planned for sometime soon, too! Hope you'll post your version </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655698 Thu, 05 May 2016 22:18:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1655698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding?&nbsp; Not even CLOSE to JFE.&nbsp; Totally F.&nbsp; Flattering, Fab, whatever you want it to stand for.&nbsp; And your hair looks great... when are you going to dip the ends blue and green?&nbsp; :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655693 Thu, 05 May 2016 22:14:06 +0000 Chris987 1655693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is great on you....the black and white looks SOO good....the overall proportions are great, and love the shoes! </p> <p>Also love your attitude about "why not try something different". I've been trying that myself and it's so liberating. I often ask myself "what is the worst that could happen?" Even if you don't end up liking an outfit it's hardly the end of the world and at least for me it gives me a clue about something else to try. You are an inspiration to not take it all so very seriously. After all fashion really should be fun! </p> <p>Also, lots of us can relate to your story of weight gain and related unhappiness,&nbsp; huge applause&nbsp;to you for moving beyond it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655665 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:23:53 +0000 Deborah 1655665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love LoVE LOVE this ! You look so cool and have that effortless thing going on here. Shannon you look confident and interesting and super stylish. I think once you accept culottes are not the most traditionally flattering item, you can just go to town with the styling, have fun and enjoy them. I love how I feel in mine:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655583 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:45:54 +0000 Suz 1655583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this, Shannon! You look sensational.

Yay - now I have another way to wear my swishy culottes :)</p> <p>Angie - you just made my day and right back at ya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655510 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:43:40 +0000 Angie 1655510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>"I have to say that Angie's voice has been in my head a lot lately with her #1 rule of "have fun with fashion". I've decided to stop forcing various looks and styles and just go with what tickles my fancy. A little boho - why not? A little edgy - why not? A little EF comfy - why not? I'm going to let my style just go where it wants to go and figure this will lead me to my "look" in an organic and natural way, if that makes any sense".</i></p> <p>LOVE YOUR THINKING. Really missed you, Shannon. It's brilliant to have you back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655495 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:17:14 +0000 Maneera 1655495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

I think the sweater length works great, because the pants are almost like a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655480 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:42:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1655480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the black culottes, Shannon. &nbsp;The length is just right -- and hard to find at any height! &nbsp;I think a white sweater is such a fresh take on a white top -- unexpected and cozy, and the cropped length is perfect for culottes. &nbsp;Will the sleeves scrunch effectively?&nbsp;</p> <p>I think a dark toned tunic with the culottes, and topped by a cropped jacket (or a denim one) would be an interesting combination --- drapey, but with structure that subtly defines the shoulder and waist on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655477 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:30:38 +0000 AviaMariah 1655477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that this is very flattering, more than JFE. As a fellow short person I understand the desire not to look "stumpy" but I actually think this outfit does the opposite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655469 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:06:07 +0000 JAileen 1655469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit.

You look very tall in this outfit. It is very flattering and the draping of the fabrics really makes it look fab.

Colours are of course great on you, and with the simple jewellery and shoes - it's a lovely outfit. &nbsp;Apparently the weather is going crazy today , and you're ready for it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655405 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:02:03 +0000 always trying 1655405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a really well put together outfit.&nbsp; looks comfy too.&nbsp; &nbsp;You are making me change my mind about culottes! &nbsp;The top length looks just right with the culottes.&nbsp; I do not think longer would look as good.&nbsp; Love the sandal booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655387 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:38:07 +0000 lyn67 1655387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well, reading your post I expected to see a monster &nbsp;bod, not else:-))...but hey, &nbsp;YLF Shannon!!! Love your culottes outfit and (even if I can not really tell in the picties)&nbsp;the way the black tank shows through the white pullover. I personally very much love to play with textures in the exactly same way! &nbsp;And, your new hair is &nbsp;so very perfectly included in that so special EF look we all know! &nbsp; Great job, please post more of your daily outfits!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655383 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:34:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1655383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - thanks for the kind words ladies. You know when you wear something out of your normal range, you question it to death??? Yeah...that was me this morning. And then I remembered that I'm trying to have fun with fashion and wear what makes me happy so went for it. Glad to hear this isn't a disaster.</p> <p>Eliza - thank you for the compliments on my hair. It has been an interesting process growing it from a one inch pixie to this. There are days I was ready to call it quits, but am getting to a happy place with it now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-own-summer-body#post-1655377 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:24:49 +0000 Eliza 1655377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, Shannon. Those culottes love you and your ability to create outfits will put them through their paces.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am gob-smacked by your hair. I love how it has both structure and softness. Just beautiful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well done! </p>
