I can wear this same skirt and jacket combo with my cognac riding boots and my Fossil handbag. Thanks - again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750649 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 01:18:54 +0000 Deborah 750649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple and orange together are devine! I adore the silhouette of this outfit. This looks modern and very 'cool' to my eye. I would have been boring and probably worn pumps but the oxfords are perfect. Very modern classic with a twist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750606 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:22:45 +0000 JulieJohn 750606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific! I love those colors together, and you are glowing. I had a salesgirl recently tell me that you can tell if a color combination works if you can envision it in nature. So I envision your combo in a dramatic sunset, when the stormy clouds are all purpley, the happy clouds are bright and creamy, and the sun is a big orange ball.</p> <p>To play with it further, you could bring other "sunset shades" in like sky blue, deep blue, gold, grey.</p> <p>And I'd love to see this outfit with cognac or brown accents in place of the creamy ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750555 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 23:17:20 +0000 Aida 750555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely and cheerful! Neutral shoes and bag work perfectly here (and the shoe colorblocking so nicely echoes the clothing, very clever!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750440 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:36:36 +0000 Carole 750440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, the shoes and bag together are especially fab! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750310 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:34:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 750310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>amiable - definitely try your orange skirt with your lace top. It's a happy colour combo!</p> <p>Rae - this handbag is amazing. It seems to go with just about everything. So glad I went for it!</p> <p>MaryK - I actually said to hubby this morning when I was getting dressed "I feel like I'm channeling MaryK in this outfit" - of course, he went "huh"? - LOL!</p> <p>Jules &amp; Asingh - thanks for the suggestion about adding a scarf but as you wondered Jules, I am not really a scarf person. I've tried a few here and there but never feel really comfortable with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750302 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:26:41 +0000 Lisa 750302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me with the title, purple and orange are lovely together and a fun change from orange and blue paired together. I like the lighter shoes and bag, this let's the outfit stand out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750234 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:22:29 +0000 Asingh 750234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like purple and orange together. How about adding a printed scarf to break the solids? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750228 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:20:55 +0000 Asingh 750228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like purple and orange together.

I may need to try a reverse version with purple skirt and orange jacket. Love those oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750221 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:14:50 +0000 rachylou 750221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color combining, including shoes and purse, is superb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750177 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:02:44 +0000 MsMary 750177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE.</p> <p>I would totally wear this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750174 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:51:20 +0000 Jules 750174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>amiable - I love your observation about the jam! Inspiration comes from so many places. Once it was seeing the light red shirt I was wearing next to my teal yoga mat that inspired me to colour combo greatness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750168 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:35:24 +0000 rae 750168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me - you are rockin' the colorblockin'! That bag has turned out to be such a workhorse for you. It looks so amazing with the colorblocked shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750151 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:12:52 +0000 amiable 750151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I commented on the later orange and purple, but wanted to give kudos to you too. I LOVE the combination. I'd actually been planning to start a thread asking people to show me their purple and orange combos because the idea was so interesting to me after stirring peaches and blueberries together into jam. Better still, I have an orange skirt (once I repair the hem), and it maybe would go with my purple lace top. Now I must try it! Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750114 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:28:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 750114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha ha Claire - too funny!</p> <p>Angie - it's interesting you mention the necklace 'cause originally I didn't have it on, then I added it, then when I got to work I wish I had left it off. Not only is it more modern without it, I think the necklace visually shortens my neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750104 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:24:39 +0000 Angie 750104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit works to my eye too. Fun and eye catching! </p> <p>You could also have left off the necklace for a super modern effect - if you wanted to </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750102 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:23:46 +0000 kellygirl 750102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? This is super sassy Shannon at work! I love this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750100 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:22:25 +0000 Anonymous 750100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I like the orange and purple together and that necklace is a nice touch.</p> <p>A funny aside: I was thinking, "Gee I didn't know those oxfords had jewels on them" and then I realized that was just your *serving suggestion* in the last picture, lol! I'm always putting on my glasses to look at your accessories shots and leaning forward because your shoes sometimes have watches on them or your boots are wearing bracelets....you'd think I'd get it by now, but you fool me every time! But I love your WIW's. Don't ever stop posting them, please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750067 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:42:35 +0000 Sara L. 750067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bold choice! I think the combo works here and the shoes and bag are perfect for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-750063 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:38:47 +0000 Jules 750063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour combo but am wondering if a patterned scarf might draw the eye up a bit and complete the outfit? But IIRC from previous looks maybe you aren't a scarf person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-749970 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:53:29 +0000 Anonymous 749970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the oxfords look good with this -- I agree that the cream looks nice with the skirt. I think your marcies would have looked good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-749969 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:45:46 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 749969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it works because I was planning to wear orange and purple today too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-749966 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:35:13 +0000 cjh 749966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me! The tan and creamy colors in your shoes and bag add a cool and calming touch which makes it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-purple-orange-oxfords#post-749964 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:31:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 749964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This combination looked really good in my head but I'm not sure it translates as well into real life. I started the outfit with my pumpkin orange skirt and then added a purple tank and my purple Amber Sun jacket. Footwear kind of stumped me though and I ended up going with my tri-colour patent leather oxfords. To pick up the tones in the shoes, I'm wearing my snakeskin bag. Jewelry consists of the amber vintage necklace my hubby gave me.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this work? Purple and orange ok together? Should I have chosen different footwear? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: Amber Sun<br /> Tank: Gap<br /> Skirt: Winner's<br /> Shoes: Jeffrey Campbel<br /> Handbag: Elliot Lucca<br /> Necklace: vintage gift</p> <p>Whoops....I just realize I forgot to take a pic with my outwear. I'm wearing my silver trench coat. </p>
