Love it with the patterns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808453 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 07:01:48 +0000 Deborah 808453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks stunning. The purple and grey is a beautiful combination, I had some funny crotch action in a WIW a while back and realized that for some reason I was trying to wear my trousers like a high rise when they were a mid rise... i adjusted and all was good lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808405 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 04:34:34 +0000 carolbee 808405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit. I like the dark and moody look on you. How could you forget you own those shoes, they are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808188 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:31:29 +0000 Anonymous 808188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a knack for jazzing up what would be a simple outfit, very nice. And I love the shoes, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808161 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:50:44 +0000 moira 808161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally works for me. The shoes did not show the sheen in the pictures but I bet they do IRL and the whole thing looks great and very polished and modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808049 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:02:53 +0000 Day Vies 808049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the clutch! I wish I could see more of the blouse because the draping is beautiful. As usual the cut of the jacket is drool-worthy. Super cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-808022 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:40:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 808022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very sophisticated mix imo. Love the purple on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807842 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:56:12 +0000 Beth Ann 807842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic / Retro at its best! Purple is one of my signature colors, so I'm also drawn to it, and grey is a softer column than black in this case.</p> <p>Love the shoes!</p> <p>Shannon, your wardrobe is working at 100% efficiency! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807815 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:30:00 +0000 Anonymous 807815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think is blah at all. The brooch &amp; clutch give enough interest. It is all about the accessories here. The only thing I am not super in love with is the combination of the two necklines. I have drapey blouses like the one you are wearing and I find them hard to layer. I guess this is just my personal aesthetic and not a deal breaker, of course. You are always really well dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807710 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:15:10 +0000 Anonymous 807710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I love the colors together and the proportions are great, but that little brooch is stealing the whole show! I love how a well chosen accessory can raise the tone of an outfit, and you wear this one very well. It looks so nice with your clutch, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807685 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:47:00 +0000 MsMary 807685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, we're jacket twins today! How fun!!</p> <p>I would bet good money that this outfit is considerably more fab in person than in the photos, because you can't really see the pattern in the photos. I give it a big thumbs up!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807674 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:28:20 +0000 Suz 807674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, Shannon, but then I'm a big lover of this jacket's retro shape. And I also LOVE the purples. Totally works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807668 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:12:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 807668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kimlee - "elegant yet edgey" - love that, thank you!</p> <p>Kat - I do wear the jacket open at work so more of the "column" is visible. This jacket isn't everyone's favourite silhouette due to the boxy and wider shape.</p> <p>Thanks Ceit, missvee, Shevia, Catherine and Tracey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807614 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:01:30 +0000 Kat 807614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color combination and as always, you accessorize so well. I do think, for me, the jacket closed or near closed (#3 and 4) isn't as flattering as when it is more open (with hand on hip in #1 and 2)....may just be an angle thing, but when it's closed I'm wishing it was longer or shorter, while I really get the column thing and find it flattering with the jacket more open.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807599 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:34:56 +0000 TraceyLiz65 807599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does not read dark at all. The purple is a lovely color against the grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807591 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:12:10 +0000 catherine 807591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shoe/bag/accessory photos are a constant source of inspiration. You clearly have the eye for seeing what pieces to wear together. And you wear them so, so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807585 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:05:03 +0000 kimlee 807585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors are lovely together. I think the brooch and clutch add just enough brightness to balance out the other colors. A very elegeant yet edgey look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807581 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:54:24 +0000 Jaime 807581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shine from the brooch and your clutch brighten this up. Purple is a great color on you and you don't look one bit blah. Quite the opposite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807576 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:41:04 +0000 missvee 807576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a smokey, moody colour combo - I like it! The touch of sparkle in the brooch is a perfect finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807574 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:35:57 +0000 Anonymous 807574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the purple and grey together! Great pumps too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-amber-sun-jacket-with-shades-of-grey#post-807572 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:28:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 807572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit didn't photograph as well as I would have liked - don't you hate that?</p> <p>Anyway, I wanted to pair my purple Amber Sun jacket with my grey Glen plaid wide legged trousers. I wanted to keep the top underneath the jacket low contrast and remembered I had this dark grey wrap top from two years ago. I think it works well here to give me a column of colour. For a bit of visual interest, I added my silver/black vintage brooch to the jacket. </p> <p>For footwear, I pulled out my trusty gun metal Naot Mary-Jane pumps. I'm ashamed to say I kind of forgot I had these They are incredibly comfortable and provide great support when my bad knee is bothering me. Handbag is my grey faux snakeskin clutch.</p> <p>What do you think? Proportions ok? It is kind of dark and moody in terms of colour scheme - is it too "blah"? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: Amber Sun<br /> Wrap top: Cleo Petite<br /> Trousers: Ricki's (thrifted)<br /> Shoes: Naot<br /> Clutch: Sondra Roberts (thrifted)</p> <p>P.S. the crotch of the pants is doing something weird in pics #1 and #2 - it is obviously because of the way I'm standing 'cause it doesn't do that IRL </p>
