I have a real soft spot for that cobalt jacket, it's just devine. Everything here works beautifully. With respect to bags, I tend to change daily regardless of the weather.. but then Im a little neurotic lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142806 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 07:18:52 +0000 CocoLion 1142806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the black/blue/red combo. &nbsp;Doesn't it feel good when we make the right shopping choices? &nbsp;I can see how the jacket, dress, boots and coat all have more life too, it's not like they're on their last season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142796 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 06:52:03 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1142796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

You in your red puffer brings a huge smile to my face! Delightful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142579 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:06:27 +0000 rae 1142579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, those colors both look good on you!! And the puffer is so cheery. I hear you about the bag-coat issue... with how functional a heavy coat has to be, you just have to work around it instead of working around the bag, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142462 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 00:28:31 +0000 MsMary 1142462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome, Puffer Twin!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142400 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:32:15 +0000 Anonymous 1142400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt and black perfection! I have Blondo boot envy as I tried those and they didn't work for me but were so beautiful. Your red leather puffer will stop traffic so people can get a better look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1142389 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:27:47 +0000 Angie 1142389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Golden Oldie Goodies and looking as sharp and confidant as ever.

I adore my leather puffer too but when you have a winter as long and as cold as ours, a gal needs choices so she doesn't get sick to death of that winter coat. I do wear the red puffer with skirts and dresses since it goes to my knees.</p> <p>MuseumGal - "professional and edgy" - WOW. That is <b>EXACTLY</b> what I'm wanting to achieve. Thank you so much.</p> <p>Thanks all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141687 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:52:55 +0000 LACeleste 1141687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141631 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:57:34 +0000 MuseumGal 1141631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG this is amazing.&nbsp; You look professional and edgy.&nbsp; Gorgeous jacket, I want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141629 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:56:18 +0000 Suz 1141629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it work, she asks.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sheeesh!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;Rolls eyes heavenward.&gt;</p> <p>You look lovely - bright, fresh, and ready to win the world!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141582 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:20:54 +0000 lyn67 1141582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, each single day, Shannon! Love the color scheme-as so dareing, strong and authoritive! The cobalt moto and the red puffer are of course&nbsp; show stopers, both!! But love your &nbsp;knee high boots here(have textured elastication on the calves?) and your pairing all with white scarf and gloves! </p> <p>As about bags, yes I preffer to match them&nbsp;to my outer wear especially, but&nbsp;if possible&nbsp;to my indoor ones, too-thus I don't really like to fuss with changing&nbsp;them often(purse organisers and all). That's why I do have only&nbsp;a few bags&nbsp;per seazon and function. But there are overlaps, too-depending on my moods. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141572 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:12:35 +0000 Jaime 1141572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great re-mix, everything looks as fresh as can be. I definitely think about how my bag works with my coat (some fit differently). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141563 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:05:30 +0000 Joyce B 1141563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I like how you explain the way you put it together and also that garments do not have to be brand new in order to look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141557 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:00:50 +0000 gryffin 1141557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon - I just adore you in cobalt!!&nbsp; It just lets you shine.&nbsp; Love the moto styling with the column of black...so elegant!&nbsp; You are a well coated woman!!&nbsp; Love you in the red puffer, it just makes me happy, but I do have a soft spot for your blue leather puffer.&nbsp; choices, choices!!&nbsp; Everyone should have that problem.&nbsp; I never swap my bags so I'm no help with that.&nbsp; You look wonderful have a great day!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141556 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:59:35 +0000 El Cee 1141556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are&nbsp;showing us the true value in having a very workable wardrobe. I enjoy watching the remix of your favorite workhorses (like the ponte sheath) and how you make them look new&nbsp;and fresh with the addition of fun jackets and stylish accessories. You look fantastic! BTW -- I also tend not to rotate my handbags as often in the winter… mostly for practical purposes. I have a large leather tote that can haul all those extra winter items like gloves, scarves, and even "indoor shoes" for when I change out of my slush boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141551 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:54:40 +0000 Eliza 1141551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that cobalt blue jacket on you- such nice detailing. &nbsp;The whole outfit is quite an impressive example of how to look chic and&nbsp;put together for the day ahead. &nbsp;I also like the structure of your bag with it. &nbsp;Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141544 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:51:32 +0000 donnat 1141544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the red puffer. The color is so cheery on these bleak mornings.<br /> The blue jacket goes nicely with the sheath.

I am impressed that all of these pieces are still favorites. And I can see why. The fit and fabrication is lovely and so suited to you and your style.</p> <p>Love the red coat. What a fun pop of color in the cold grey winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141536 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:28:16 +0000 Anonymous 1141536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect, Shannon! You really show how you can rework existing faves in new ways. You look super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oldies-but-goodies#post-1141534 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 12:26:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1141534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything in this outfit today (indoor and out) is over a year old and in some instances, two years. Just goes to show that choosing wisely in the first place leads to pieces you still love further on down the road.</p> <p>Today's outfit started with my trusty ponte knit sheath dress. I combined the dress with small dot hose and my knee high black flat heel boots (my knee needs a break from heels today). On top of that, my jacket choice for today was my cobalt, asymmetrical, moto style jacket with black leather trim. Jewelry choices were my oversized black/white watch and a silver ring and I went with my black leather handbag - again.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I head out the door into the cold, everything will be topped with my red knee length puffer coat, white scarf and white gloves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I realize in the winter that I don't rotate my handbags as much and tend to just go with a couple because I want the handbag to work with my outdoor coat as well and some of mine look great with the outfit but not so much with the coat. Have you other winter weather ladies found the same?</p> <p>So what do you think of the outfit? does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Moto jacket: Vince Camuto<br />Dress: Banana Republic<br />Hose: Huse<br />Boots: Blondo<br />Watch: Calvin Klein (thrifted)<br />Puffer coat: Lands End<br />Handbag: Danier Leather </p>
