You look terrific and on trend. Even better that the pieces are all 3+ years old. It means you're getting mileage out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1414340 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 13:21:49 +0000 catherine 1414340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I love your hair this way.

I love the stripes and the color combination. And then, the piece de resistance--the bag!! It completes the outfit beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1413116 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 02:34:29 +0000 rae 1413116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that looks very cozy, and the effect is kind of like a two piece dress. I really like what you are doing with your hair these days, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1413060 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 00:28:16 +0000 Aida 1413060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plenty current; 3 years old for an item is, for most things, not long enough to date an item unless it was a VERY trendy fringe trend that didn't stick around to begin with. The voluminous sweater is going strong, and booties don't seem to be going anywhere ever again Great outfit, and I love that you went with a berry lipstick to complete the "not red" theme&nbsp; ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1413012 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:38:54 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1413012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look is very current. &nbsp;I can see this working with your off white bag as well as the blue and it would tie in with the lighter part of the sweater.</p> <p>I agree with Deborah too. &nbsp;You are really working that smaller wardrobe to advantage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412994 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 21:57:31 +0000 Deborah 1412994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest Shannon I feel you have honed your style to a point where the question of looking dated would not be an issue:). It's "your" style and it transcends trend etc to a great degree. You have a natural inclination to add modern to your outfits so I honesty,y don't ever expect any of your outfits to ever look dated:). It's a fab outfit. Lots of fun and made me smile when I saw it. Its a quite a colour assault (but I mean that on a good way) with the colours and proportions just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412950 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 20:20:37 +0000 CocoLion 1412950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, I like this silhouette on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412948 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 20:17:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1412948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear I don't look "sooooo 2012" or something like that! And it's nice to know that some items I've kept can still hold a place in my ever evolving style and closet.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412827 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 15:21:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1412827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PLONK!!!</p> <p>So glad that sweater survived the Cull.&nbsp; I've always really liked it too.&nbsp; And that bag with it... total perfection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412818 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 15:09:18 +0000 Angie 1412818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De-bombshelled, fab&nbsp;and fashionable.

You know I love that sweater, right? &nbsp;I have not seen it for a while. I think this outfit looks completely current (oversized sweaters are on trend) and very fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412798 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 14:48:26 +0000 Anonymous 1412798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, easy work look ! &nbsp;I'm surprised too that the sweater is a few years old - it looks in great shape. &nbsp;As pretty as you are in red, cobalt is also a great colour for you and one you should wear often:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412793 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 14:38:25 +0000 approprio 1412793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colours, the stripes, the&nbsp;graphic precision with the purse.&nbsp;When it looks this good, who cares if it's current?</p> <p>Take a bow Miss Lady.

I have a very similar skirt (from two years ago) and I wear it often. That sweater looks fabulous, cozy, and warm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412778 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:48:02 +0000 Anonymous 1412778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely looks current (and cute)&nbsp;to me! I'm actually surprised that the sweater is 3 years old since it has such a perfect oversized hi-lo shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412777 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:47:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1412777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The oversized sweater is fun and fresh; the skirt is a great classic base for the outfit, and the booties add&nbsp; a bit of modern pop.&nbsp; Definite winner!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412771 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:41:29 +0000 Jaime 1412771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412769 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:38:08 +0000 Windchime 1412769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, it looks current--good job! I love cobalt anything, and your oversized sweater is on trend and very fun. You look professional, comfortable, and current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-red#post-1412752 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:26:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1412752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing so much red lately I thought I should advertise that I am NOT wearing any red today - lol!</p> <p>Today's outfit is about old favourites I'm feeling love for again. It started out with my cobalt blue knit pencil skirt. I've been wearing the black pencil skirt&nbsp;a lot and had kind of forgotten about the blue one. Ok….so first item chosen, now what? Oh I remember - my voluminous hi-lo grey/blue/green/white striped merino wool pullover. That blue stripe in the pullover is the same colour as the skirt. Hmmmm…now what tights? Oh yes…the darker grey ones with the tiny tone-on-tone stripe (only visible close up). Those will work with the grey in the pullover.&nbsp;</p> <p>Onto footwear - what booties? Let's go with the blue/purple suede ones. They're a little unexpected I think and I like that. My quilted cobalt/cream handbag was the perfect choice since the blue went with the skirt and the cream went with the white stripe in the pullover.</p> <p>My purple/clear specs, silver wedding band and swipe of berry lipstick finish off the outfit.</p> <p>The skirt, pullover, booties and even tights are all a minimum of 3 years old. But what do you think - can you wear items that old and have an outfit still looks&nbsp;current? Does this all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Pullover: Lord &amp; Taylor<br />Skirt: Cleo Petite<br />Tights: Hue<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Boots: Aerosoles (the first Angie pick I purchased if I remember correctly) </p>
