I love your whole look and would wear it head to toe. I love wearing leather jackets as blazers too. You look tough and ladylike, polished and edgy all at once. Hope this week is better for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832708 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:09:07 +0000 Sveta 832708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how this leather jacket and shoes work together, Shannon. Another of your super fab looks!<br /> High five on power dressing for work, I find it really helps for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832669 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:34:00 +0000 CocoLion 832669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern mixing is very sophisticated here Shannon. Also the mix of textures. Finally, the sharp shoulder line really perfects the look.</p> <p>All told, it's a flattering, sophisticated outfit that has a powerful vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832608 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:40:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 832608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix - I need to look and feel strong this week since I'm filling in for someone who is on vacation this week and her boss is very difficult to work for. So far, my strategy seems to be working 'cause I'm feeling pretty good!</p> <p>Una - yep, boots outside - shoes inside. If it's not super cold, it's the Blondo Vergara's or my Naturalizer boots. If it's super cold, it's the Sorel's and to heck with fashion!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! It's the first time I've paired my leather blazer with this skirt and was pleased with how they worked together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832483 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:38:39 +0000 Spiffy 832483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it x a billion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832481 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:30:04 +0000 catgirl 832481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outstanding, Shannon!

And since I know you often include figure flattery as one of your goals, I think you can check and doublecheck the box on that one.</p> <p>I've missed why a strong look is a goal but that comes across loud and clear. Seems to be going around, too -- though I'm alternating between my leather blazer and my slanket alternative, ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832057 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:48:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 832057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think leather instantly makes you feel more powerful, don't you? </p> <p>I love the colours in this skirt and will definitely have it altered when it's too big. It's made from a beautiful weight crepe and fully lined so will definitely be worth the alteration.</p> <p>Wow Angie - that's a lot of "yet's" - lol!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-832044 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:35:58 +0000 Anonymous 832044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great.

Love the purple tank with it and the belt and jacket look fab!

I LOVE the shoes, actually....like a sort of cut-out bootie in a way. Hmmmm.....</p> <p>And yay for looseness around the waist!! Although I hope that skirt can be altered when that becomes necessary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-831986 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:08:58 +0000 Day Vies 831986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jacket on you.

Those pumps look so comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-831969 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:25:41 +0000 Thistle 831969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic. That blazer is really nice, and doesn't leather just make you feel a little more powerful? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pattern-leather#post-831968 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:21:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 831968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Continuing my need to dress "strong" this week, I started today's outfit with my leather blazer. I've paired it with my black/cream/purple/red abstract pattern midi pencil skirt and a dark purple tank. I've popped on a wide black belt to not only accentuate my waist but the skirt is actually getting a little big and turns around if I don't "anchor" the waist. For footwear, I've got on my Clarks pumps - for a 3 inch heel, these are incredibly comfortable. My handbag is my black/cream leather satchel and jewelry is my silver Haida wedding band.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blazer: Danier Leather<br /> Tank: Gap<br /> Skirt: Cleo Petite<br /> Micro fishnets: Hue<br /> Shoes: Clarks Indigo<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
