I was tickled when I could send you the white clutch last summer. Send me a PM when you're ready with what you're looking for and we can collaborate.</p> <p>Suz - you're right in that I've pretty much stopped thrifting for clothes but I do still go and look for accessories as I can still find some good things in that category.</p> <p>Mona &amp; Suz - it's actually not as cold today here as it was yesterday so I'm quite comfortable in my blouse.</p> <p>Joy - this is my first cross over blouse and I find it super easy to wear and very comfortable - it works well on its own and also layers beautifully under a jacket. I also like how the lower hem in the back peeks out underneath a blazer. Next time I wear it I'll show you with a jacket over top.</p> <p>Thanks all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152062 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:29:25 +0000 Anonymous 1152062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful outfit, although I have a hard time getting past that great clutch find.<br /> I have a blouse in this shape in my shopping cart but hope that it will go on sale. Do you find it easy to wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152061 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:28:49 +0000 Jaime 1152061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy skinnies are fantastic and I love the patent leather touches. How great that not only can you shop at Danier but occasionally find their bags at thrift stores!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152029 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:32:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1152029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Shannon, from top to bottom.&nbsp; Yay on the Danier clutch!&nbsp; I never go to Value Village, unless it's Halloween costume shopping... maybe I should... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152026 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:28:42 +0000 Suz 1152026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that was a great find! I guess your thrifting days are not completely over, when beauties like that appear for the taking! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the blouse, too. It looks wonderful on you. Like Mona, I marvel you can wear it without more layers over or under -- I'd be chilled to the bone!! But I know that hospitals sometimes keep the heat up really high, probably higher than my house, LOL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152005 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:44:05 +0000 El Cee 1152005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful.&nbsp;I love the very elegant drape of the blouse. Yes, it DOES look flattering on you… especially since you added structure with the burgundy skinnies. Your newly thrifted clutch is lovely. A super find! (Wish we had better consignment and thrift stores in my neck of the woods.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152003 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:40:33 +0000 Ingunn 1152003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the burgundy adds structure to the outfit, and the warm color picks up the cream in the blouse. Well done! You look terrific as always. The clutch was a bargain - lucky you.</p> <p>On a side note: I'm contemplating asking you for help to find a spring/summer leather bag from Danier You certainly have a knack for finding the good ones.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152002 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:37:36 +0000 ramya 1152002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it work she asks!!!!! Of course it does </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152001 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:37:36 +0000 Neel 1152001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shiny find!! Matches your booties perfectly!! I think this is a fab outfit. And I love flowy blouses over skinnies. Its like magic over the muffin top </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1152000 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:35:57 +0000 Anonymous 1152000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our Value Village is not great either. We have a new thrift store opening, some chain from out west I think, I wonder what it will be like.</p> <p>You look super. I love the richness of the blouse with the shiny booties. I also like you chose burgundy instead of black pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1151999 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:31:46 +0000 Mona 1151999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my Shannon! Danier leather clutch for only $3.99 from value village. Our value village is so disappointing. I can never find any thing decent in there. <br />The polka dot silk blouse is so much fun. I envy that you can wear a silk blouse with no topper indoors in this weather. I am cold even in three layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-patent-polka-dots#post-1151995 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 12:21:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1151995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit started with my burgundy skinnies which turned out to be a fantastic purchase for fall/winter. I paired them with my cream/black dalmation print wrap blouse with hi-lo hemline. This blouse is definitely an item I would describe as not conventionally flattering - it hides my waist and much of my shape while at the same time, making sure no wobbly bits or muffin top are visible.&nbsp;</p> <p>I then added black patent bookends with my booties and a recently thrifted Danier Leather clutch. Yep - found this pretty shiny baby at Value Village for $3.99!</p> <p>Gold wedding band and rose gold/black watch complete the outfit.</p> <p>So what do you think? Does it work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blouse: Dorothy Perkins Petite<br />Skinnies: Attitude by Jay Manuel<br />Booties: Ara<br />Clutch: Danier Leather (thrifted)<br />Watch: Fossil (eBay) </p>
