LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work/page/2#post-604512 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 04:08:17 +0000 Deborah 604512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely and fresh outfit. I love orange:) </p> <p>Sorry about DS's driving test. I failed mine on the first attempt and I didn't even get out on the road. I hit one of the parking poles as I reversed parked in the Road Traffic Authority yard:(</p> <p>Oh and I would duplicate those jeans. Skinnies are pretty classic and if you are enjoying the fit and wearing them often, a second pair makes sense. Im about to duplicate my black ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work/page/2#post-604454 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:37:05 +0000 Anonymous 604454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! The orange is so fresh and modern as stripes. Love!<br /> Do you call your green bag "Kelly"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604442 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:16:07 +0000 Jaime 604442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only are you a super thrifter but you find the best stuff at Old Navy. I love this look and also vote double up on these great looking jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604382 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 01:01:52 +0000 jen 604382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always buy two of thing I love! I love orange and navy together, you look like a very stylish mum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604229 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:40:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 604229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida - ooooohhhh the green pumps would look fab with this! But definitely not good "running around shoes" - I'd be hobbling by now after all the walking I did today!</p> <p>MaryK and Jeanne - thanks for the condolences for DS. He was pretty disappointed but on the way home had the right attitude saying he'd "ace it" next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604220 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:30:59 +0000 Jjsloane 604220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the test, but 2 weeks is not long to wait (in his life it probably seems like forever I know).</p> <p>Love the outfit - would copy in a heartbeat. Those jeans look fantastic on you - I'd order up while you can. If you end up not liking them anymore or needing them you can always consign them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604219 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:30:05 +0000 Tanya 604219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect casual outfit! Another vote to duplicate the jeans. They are in general difficult to fit so stocking up is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604213 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:26:49 +0000 MsMary 604213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! Very casual chic!</p> <p>My condolences to your DS! I'm sure he's horribly disappointed, but it'll be all that much sweeter when he passes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604201 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:16:09 +0000 Aida 604201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit! I second Jean's thoughts on the purse, and love the idea of pairing your kelly green purse. I was actually going to suggest you try your green pumps with this, too (but maybe with a different purse hehe) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604054 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:31:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 604054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back from the road test. Unfortunately DS did not pass - he did everything perfectly until he was making a left hand turn onto the highway when some moron sped up and DS had to brake hard to avoid hitting the guy. The instructor said he should have seen him coming - DS explained that he had plenty of time to make the turn until the guy decided to "gun it"...but he was failed anyway. He takes it again in two weeks.</p> <p>Thanks for the sweet comments about the outfit - I realize you mostly see me in my office attire so this is probably nice for a change. I did switch out the handbag to my green one and it did make the orange stripes pop much better.</p> <p>Not to worry Jem and Christieanne - I'm still going on SYC as of May 1st but have been thinking about buying a second pair of these for a couple of weeks before they sell out. Will make up my mind later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604039 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:11:30 +0000 CocoLion 604039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect Shannon, polished casual chic. Hope you enjoy your day off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604038 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:09:32 +0000 Meredith1953 604038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very, very cute! You look beautiful in that orange! And I love the shoes with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-604020 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:45:27 +0000 rae 604020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute and looks so comfy! That blouse reminds me so much of the J. Crew popover - what a deal finding it at ON. Good luck to your son! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603996 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:04:52 +0000 rachylou 603996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! So different from your work outfits... I guess I'm not the only one ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603980 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:48:54 +0000 christieanne 603980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the orange - very nicely layered! </p> <p>I agree on duplicate but don't you want to wait until after your SYC ? Or did you decide against that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603979 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:48:05 +0000 catgirl 603979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, simple, spunky! I agree on duplicating jeans - I rotate my Gap leans (2 pairs) and they don't make the ones I have anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603977 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:46:38 +0000 Isabel 603977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great "day off" outfit. In fact, you look very on !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603972 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:44:25 +0000 Sona 603972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very kewl for your day off. if you find yourself going thrifting....and find something that screams Sona...buy it..I'll sed you the money!!</p> <p>I so wanna thrift with you.</p> <p>Luck to the boy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603888 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:35:36 +0000 qfbrenda 603888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! And definitely duplicate the jeans. You'll be glad you did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603805 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:27:18 +0000 Jem 603805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love the idea of a turquoise bag (if you had one...) and green sounds good, too. Duplicating your jeans sounds like a good idea, but what about SYC??? Or are you trying to sneak that in before May 1st? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603804 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:25:48 +0000 Angie 603804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!!! </p> <p>Simple, modern, polished, fun and no-nonsense. A 10 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603796 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:22:15 +0000 Jilly 603796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope the drivers' test goes well. My oldest will be taking driver's ed in a month or so (yikes!). I agree about buying an extra pair of jeans that fit. I tried to do that with a pair of BR jeans last year, but they only had one pair in my size at the time. Any hoo, you look great - love the orange and cream color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603777 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:02:50 +0000 Anonymous 603777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this is fantastic! I agree that your kelly green bag will be fantastic with this. (Some of the problem with the colors might be because you're in front of a beige wall. How do I know this, I unwittingly painted every room in my house SSB!) </p> <p>Anyway, I love your top and the orange T underneath. I've wondered how to wear these sheer shirts the right way, thanks for the example! The Born flats are perfect and you're right, those jeans *do* fit you to perfection. I wouldn't duplicate the jeans unless you depend on them for daily wear. I have a pair I like pretty well, but I didn't duplicate them because I'm sure something 'new' will come out next fall and I'll want that. I usually get bored of a certain look/silhouette after a year or two. Just my 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603760 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:45:33 +0000 greenglove 603760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it makes more sense now that the stripes are off white.<br /> Computer screens are so unreliable for color accuracy.</p> <p>I love the idea of Kelly green!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603758 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:43:55 +0000 Carole 603758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Love that orangey color on you.</p> <p>Ps: the fun begins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603752 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:37:57 +0000 jayne 603752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color looks good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603745 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:35:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 603745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rita, Suz and Zapotee!</p> <p>Jean - the shirt is actually orange and cream, not white. Unfortunately I don't have a turquoise handbag, but what about my kelly green one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603743 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:33:48 +0000 greenglove 603743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit and another vote for duplicating jeans!<br /> One suggestion- I think that another color bag might work better. Althouh I like this one, the crisp white and red stripes seem to call for a cleaner color- turquoise? Maybe black patent?</p> <p>It could be the light but I think the camel is a bit too warm. Not that it looks bad, still works but offering suggestions for popping the stripes a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-day-off-from-work#post-603736 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:29:25 +0000 Anonymous 603736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great Shannon!<br /> Good luck on your son's driving test! </p>
